John and Tammy, KSON, San Diego with the Kids Must Do the Dishes

Tension inside story lines is what makes it electric.  Tension forms drama and it’s drama that makes people lean in.  So let’s do a Thanksgiving-themed idea that creates some relevant humor for your show.  John and Tammy, KSON, San Diego conceived an idea where their co-workers told their kids they had to do the dishes after the Thanksgiving dinner.  And…the best part…they recorded all of it for a break that, whether you have kids or not, is incredibly fun.  When thinking about an idea like this, always think “what’s the opposite”.  In this instance, when we brainstormed, we thought kids having to do the dishes would be the opposite of how the table actually got cleaned.  There’s your tension and drama to make listeners want to hear the reaction.
