Kick-Ass Audio Breaks

Making a big thing out of a little thing.  That’s our theme in this week’s audio as shown by Karson and Kennedy, MIX 104.1, Boston who are always listening out for opportunity from callers.  A listener rang them on their regular Monday “what was the highlight of your weekend” feature.  The caller told them that her one son was selling homemade ice cream in the neighborhood to raise funds for her other son’s special needs hockey team when a Karen shut them down.  Karson and Kennedy to the rescue.  They put together a massive Saturday fundraiser, centered around the first son and his ice cream sales, to improve on the paltry $60 earned before Karen inserted herself in the good deed.  They heard the mom’s story and worked hard to make it larger than life, putting all efforts from the show behind it.  Rallying their listeners and making a big thing from a small thing, they helped raise over $3500 for the team.  Another stunning victory for radio, proving the power of talent.  Look to do this so you own memorable moments with your fans.

AI is a game-changer to create relevant fun content for your show.  Dave Coombs, WKLH, Milwaukee gets this on a level we all can learn from.  As Dave shows us here, you can have AI mimic any celebrity or famous person.  How can you use this to your advantage?  What big story with a famous person can you create humor around using AI?  Politics might be off the plate as a topic choice for your show, but not for Dave.  Before he left the presidential race, Dave had AI create fun stuff around Joe Biden.  He called it AI Joe so the audience knew it was a fake.  Here’s audio of how Dave did it, which opens up more topical and creative opportunities for doing unique things on your show.
