Dabbling in radio....


Now that the first (nearly) full week of school has concluded, I finally feel like I’m gaining some kind of momentum towards this school year. January is almost over with, if anyone can believe it, but it certainly doesn’t feel that way with the bipolar Texas weather doing what it does best. Of course, this means we’ll all be turning our attention to Spring Break, but I’m guessing we’ll all need a chance to digest our new classes before we jump to all that. I know I will.
Never before today have I ever considered a career in radio. Today in Multimedia Production, we began working with soundboards and audio editing software. Saying I was excited is an understatement; I wanted to stay in the sound room for hours figuring out how to work the pots (sliding levers) and (noise) leveling knobs. The microphones were so cool. I totally wanted to practice my radio voice (but alone so I don’t look and sound like a crazy person.) It’s funny because my major is News/Editorial writing, but I’ve always been fascinated by radio. I mean, how cool would it be to spend a few hours on the air every day, playing music and talking with wide varieties of people? Maybe that’s where I start everything off. I could always indulge this guilty pleasure of radio.
