Kick-Ass Audio Breaks

This break is a tad old, but highlights how things come alive when you add other elements to breaks.  Each year for Thanksgiving, Cledus, from Dave and Veronica, WQYK, Tampa, visits Cracker Barrel for Thanksgiving.  Pondering what Cracker Barrel is like for Thanksgiving, the team decided to call the restaurant Cledus actually visits every year with his daughter.  The result is an inquisitive team having a fun conversation with the waitress who answers the phone.  The team could’ve opted to just tell the story, but adding the call to the restaurant gave them stuff to work with in their effort to create a fun, memorable break.

There might not be more fun than to quiz cheerleaders on things going on in the world.  With the stereotype that cheerleaders might not be completely in the loop on the news, Kyle and Rachel, Radio NOW, Indianapolis asked area cheerleaders about the recent March Madness tournament.  The only hitch was that the questions were very hard, and Kyle (obviously) gave them the answers so they came off as knowing more than the average sports fan.  The “conflict” inserted into this bit (planned, of course) made it very fun and very topical.
