On the Radio
Yesterday, I was the "guest co-host" on KIXL's Homeward Bound show. I had no idea what to expect (from a technical standpoint), and I was a bit nervous.
I got to the station around 3:15, and I met Andrew, the producer/director. He showed me into the studio, and I looked around for a few minutes until Jim Wagner (the host) arrived. Both of them were incredibly welcoming and made me feel right at home. Jim explained the schedule and what we would be doing during the different segments, and then we just chatted until the show started.
During the show, we talked about several different topics, mostly headline news-type stuff, which was perfectly fine with me. We had two callers. Since, technically, I was there as a replacement for Paul Pryor, the "sports guy," I read the sports at the bottom of each hour. Jim asked me some questions about being a mom of twin boys and about my blog. And, then, all of the sudden... 120 minutes had flown by and the show was over.
I had a blast. That was a lot of fun, do in no small part to Jim putting me at ease. From the reviews I've heard, I did a pretty good job (my own review- I didn't stink). Would I do it again? You bet! If Jim and Andrew want me to come back again, I would be honored.
