WQYK Hello in the Stalls
You have two options when you have a personal experience that’s interesting enough for the listeners to hear. You can either just tell the story or you can record audio while it’s happening and bring some of that to the break to help listeners feel it. Dave and Veronica, WQYK, Tampa totally get the latter concept. Dave recently had an experience while in a men’s bathroom stall. Something happened a few stalls down so crazy to him that he decided to grab audio of it to help the break. The way he handled this is way more entertaining for the audience then him just recounting the facts.

B96 Train Wreck Katy
Sometimes the very best content comes from the lives of the people on the show. This often is the kind of content that cannot be done by any other show because they don’t have the experience. Producer Mary’s sister, Katy, has the worst luck at dating, often making some very bad stories. This is fodder for The J Show, B96, Chicago, in a new feature they put on called “Train Wreck Katy”.
Are You Going to the Gym
A very big thing happening, especially while you’re on-the-air, is that a healthy contingent of people will be heading to the gym right at the stroke of sunrise to get in shape as a resolution. Your job is to do something interesting with it. Which is why you’ll become the “support network” for some of them by calling a few early in the 6:00 hour (or even earlier if you’re on) to make sure they’re either up getting ready to head to the gym or on the way!
