Thoughts Requested: Radio

I have been offered a co-host’s chair for a program I very much like on the local campus radio station.

The show plays folk music, and runs 1.5 hours per week on Sunday around lunchtime. I would likely do the show every second week.

I am very tempted to do this. Actually, I have practically decided to do this. The only two scary things are:

1) I would actually have to have something useful to say about this music. There are certainly people in town who know more about this music than I do…

2) I would likely do the occasional interview, which would require me to sound like a normal human while talking to ‘people of renown’.

I would have to figure out how to fit the preparation time into my schedule, and budget for CD purchasing. But it kinda sounds like it would be a good time, and I kinda think that I want to do it. So, panel of experts, does this sound stupid? Should I worry about my worries?

	Radio superstar! I think your worries are normal and aren't stupid at all. I wouldn't worry, after all, if you're doing a show every two weeks, you have plenty of time to prepare. You're also a very articulate person, so I see no problem with your conducting interviews. As for background knowledge - see it as an opportunity to expand on what you alrady know, a learning experience. First CKCU, next the world! You can do it! at 2005-3-15 07:18 by Nurd Grrl


	yay you! I definitely think you should do this (as long as it doesn't prevent you from visiting me, ahem). It sounds absolutely perfect for you. I've been thinking, since your audio email, that you have such a radio voice and phrasing... you'd rock and I'd look forward to hearing it. Love you, pal! at 2005-3-15 09:02 by maysie-o
