10 Questions with ... Gabriel CarrilloBRIEF CAREER SYNOPSIS:
Started in radio as an unpaid intern (remember those?!) in Sacramento with stops in Vermont, Ithaca, NY, Milwaukee, Canton and now programming in Youngstown.
1. What did you dream of becoming when you were a kid?
Like most kids on the spectrum, I was OBSESSED with dinosaurs so I wanted to be a paleontologist. Then, as I grew older, I realized you had to work outside to do that and I'm just not built for that.
2. What would you be doing now if you weren't in radio?
Honestly, I'd probably still be doing marketing if I needed it to be a money maker. If I hit it rich and didn't need the income, I'd go back to working at a movie theater.
3. What would you like to do better as an air personality?
I thank the dark lord every day I get a small window to entertain people. I don't think there is any "one" thing that I can do better as an air talent, I think the challenge is always going to be, how do I do all my core things better than I did the show before today? Experience has given me a LOT of perspective on this and I think if I were to boil it down to "calls" or "more word economy", it's really missing the forest among the trees.
