Saturday morning

Saturday morning I woke to the tail end of Donna Summer's "Bad Girls" followed by a listener 'groan' then a perky response of "I want what she's having for breakfast" into a Sue O'Neal CBS-FM jingle. It was a great break: fun, forward and chick, handled by a female talent that swings for the fence every time she opens the mike; really, stream her if you can.

Women like to play along, and when a girlfriend is on the air tossing the pitches it can be great fun. On-air breaks don't always have to be lengthy and content filled. We are battling an attention span that get distracted by children crying, phones ringing, traffic and the voices in her head that try to remember everything she needs to get done.

Throwing a few "quickies" into your hour entertain and refresh her, and in today's PPM world that can't hurt. Cooking, shopping, family relations, travel work and volunteer opportunities are top of mind this week.

Reveal a slice of yourself today by telling her what you are truly thankful for. Place her on your list and thank her for listening and for allowing you to be a part of her life. I mean, really, without her you might get stuck with the smaller piece of the wish bone.

And stream Sue sometime, she works weekends at www.cbsfm.com
