1) What got you interested in radio, and what was your first job?
My mama got me interested. She even sought out jobs for me, "look here honey, they say, no experience necessary." I did a couple of Sunday afternoons and went to middays a short time later.
2) If you were just starting out in broadcasting, knowing now what you didn't know then, would you still do it?
Absolutely!
3) In today's homogenized world of radio, how do you "localize" and how do you get into your listeners head whether they are on the job, in the car or at home?
I just sweet talk 'em.
4) If you were to leave radio today and choose another occupation, what do you think you'd like to do?
I would drive a beer truck. That's my goal.
5) What was your last non-industry job?
Waitressing at the teddy bear cafe.
6) If you could change one thing about the current state of radio, what would you change?
I could lose my job if I answered this one.
7) What was the first concert you ever attended?
Fleetwood Mac
8) What gets you upset at work and how do you channel your anger?
Again, you know I can't REALLY answer that, but I cuss under my breath and then pray for forgiveness.
9) In today's world of multi-tasking and wearing many hats, how do you find time to show prep and what sources do you use?
I'm a woman! Multi- tasking is easy. I use everything I can get my hands on. And I mean everything.
10) How often do you air-check your own shows? Is it mandatory that you run tape everyday? Also, can you honestly critique yourself?
We are air checked at random. I don't have a LARGER THAN LIFE ego to deal with so obviously I can take criticism.
Bonus Questions
1) You're stuck on a deserted island and you get to pick one artist to be stuck with you. Who would it be and don't limit it to our format?
It would be Keith Urban. I'm not limiting myself; I'm fulfilling a fantasy. Can you make that happen?
2) You just won the lotto and you have your boss on the line. What's the first thing that you would say?
Sorry, I gotta go. You have a great day.
3) What's your favorite fast food?
A Dairy Queen banana split.
4) What's your favorite thing to do in your spare time?
Go to bed.
