In places like New York and Detroit, they hear you but you're not as connected. I like the fact that here, because I know the area, I can do things in the community, whereas other places nobody cares as much.
Q: What are some things you've done in the community? Peanut Butter [Brooke PB, another "Bob and the Showgram" host] and I started doing a monthly thing where we read to children at different hospitals. Plus, if you get listener e-mails, you can actually go and meet up and have lunch with these people.
Q: Your website said you had been to one of your listener's weddings. A: Oh yeah! I invited myself, but it was fun.
An inside view. Q: What advice would you give to women who want to get involved in the radio industry? A: Be yourself and be honest. Work really hard and try not to take shortcuts. Don't try to jump over someone else to get ahead. Q: What is one personality trait you need to be a good radio personality? A: You've got to laugh at yourself; I get made fun of every single day, but it's OK. Q: What are other essential skills for your job? We are four best friends driving in a car, making fun of each other and having real conversations.
Then we look up and think; damn we have to have a commercial break My favorite thing about this job is our listeners. They are the absolute best. They've seen me have many "life fails" and learning experiences.
They've always been there to help me out and give advice. They genuinely care about what each of us are going through and we genuinely want their opinions and suggestions. It can be as simple as me going on-air, saying the first one of my friends is getting married, I'm a bridesmaid and I have to throw a shower, please help!
Or I'm in a long-distance relationship, it's hard and I need advice. I've cried on-air, laughed, embarrassed myself to no end, but the listeners always keep me going.
Also I love that I never have to use my fake laugh because the people I sit across from make me laugh so hard each morning. I would love to have Justin Timberlake on. He is someone who has it all. I've never met him, but he seems down-to-earth. He would mesh well with our humor. I don't know if they would let me in the room if he came in studio I may have a slight panic attack and possibly turn into a year-old girl and cry.
So maybe just a phoner? I am a movie nerd so I'd love the chance to interview Steven Spielberg. To just try to get inside a guy's head like that would be incredible. A lot of people assume that since I'm in radio and I talk to people for a living that I can work a room or get on stage and speak. Sometimes I just completely freeze up and say the most awkward thing or make the cheesiest jokes.
My co-workers end up having to take the microphone from me most times. People always tease me and say I'm a year-old trapped in a year-old's body. I love music from the '70s and I have a pretty decent vinyl collection. I turned to G I looked it up online and found this on Wikipedia After months of listener dissatisfaction with "The Class Reunion," the last hour was replaced with music all together.

I'm not from here, but the guy seems like a legend in the area, so I didn't understand why Bob starting going down that path. I was also listening today, when the crew was interviewing the local band Delta Rae - he must have been in a sour-puss mood and started asking personal questions about who everyone was having sex with, if they graduated college, commenting on their looks, etc.
It seemed a little embarassing and unprofessional to the band they way he was somewhat agressively asking these personal questions instead of asking them questions about the music - being that they are on a music radio station. Mike Morse seemed like a music nerd that knows a lot about music, and didn't get into the gross topics Bob likes to venture in. I hope he's moved on to something bigger and better.
