    I work for Good News Communications, at their radio station, AM 690 KVOI. Talk Radio.

    No idea what my official title is - something like Operations Assistant.

    My day usually consists of live weather and news announcing, producing a local radio show, and various basic editing tasks.

    God job. I enjoy it. Though it's a bit freaky when people recognise you, or call the station and talk to you as though they're your best friend.

    No trees were harmed in the creation of this message. However, many electrons were displaced and terribly inconvenienced.
