It was basically a uh it 18 00:00:50,920 --> 00:00:53,600 Speaker 1: was a reoccurring thing. There was no end in sight. 19 00:00:54,040 --> 00:00:55,680 Speaker 1: I would have had to leave here. So I started 20 00:00:55,680 --> 00:00:59,920 Speaker 1: here when Elvis was on in the afternoons playing mut 21 00:01:00,040 --> 00:01:04,720 Speaker 1: music and I was answering phones back in the day, whoa, 22 00:01:05,240 --> 00:01:08,240 Speaker 1: all the request lines used to light up like crazy. 23 00:01:08,400 --> 00:01:13,520 Speaker 1: People used to call in to radio stations NonStop, especially 24 00:01:13,600 --> 00:01:17,479 Speaker 1: after school, and twenty lines and where I would say, 25 00:01:17,480 --> 00:01:20,039 Speaker 1: what's your song? Requests? One hundred I played for you, 26 00:01:20,080 --> 00:01:23,160 Speaker 1: and when I found somebody that was really cool, I 27 00:01:23,400 --> 00:01:28,400 Speaker 1: basically said hold on, and I told Elvis, hey got 28 00:01:28,400 --> 00:01:30,840 Speaker 1: a live one online six and then he would take 29 00:01:30,840 --> 00:01:34,080 Speaker 1: it from there. So I actually helped produce his afternoon show. 30 00:01:34,480 --> 00:01:38,000 Speaker 3: Wow, what was the what was the most requested song? 31 00:01:38,360 --> 00:01:40,679 Speaker 3: When they were starting out? 32 00:01:39,319 --> 00:01:43,200 Speaker 1: Like you want to it was mid nineties and we 33 00:01:43,200 --> 00:01:45,280 Speaker 1: were playing at the time. Z one hundred went into 34 00:01:45,280 --> 00:01:48,559 Speaker 1: a lot of alt rock. You know, we went away 35 00:01:48,600 --> 00:01:51,920 Speaker 1: from a lot of the the mainstream stuff that you hear, 36 00:01:51,960 --> 00:01:54,520 Speaker 1: but it was mainstream modern rock stuff. So it was 37 00:01:54,520 --> 00:01:58,040 Speaker 1: a lot of Pearl Jam and David Matthews and you know, 38 00:01:58,080 --> 00:02:02,280 Speaker 1: Hooty and the Blowfish and Nirvana, a lot of that. 39 00:02:02,760 --> 00:02:05,080 Speaker 1: That was a lot of the stuff being requested. 40 00:02:05,160 --> 00:02:09,480 Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, just saying, Okay, So I was recently watching 41 00:02:09,600 --> 00:02:15,280 Speaker 3: some old interviews. Who is like your favorite of the guests, 42 00:02:15,280 --> 00:02:18,240 Speaker 3: because you guys have a lot of guests very often, 43 00:02:18,520 --> 00:02:20,400 Speaker 3: and is there one that has like stuck out over 44 00:02:20,440 --> 00:02:23,440 Speaker 3: all the years? Are there a couple any really bad ones? 45 00:02:24,560 --> 00:02:29,800 Speaker 1: Yeah? You want to know all that? Well, Listen, an 46 00:02:29,919 --> 00:02:32,280 Speaker 1: artist is always going to put their best foot forward 47 00:02:32,360 --> 00:02:37,880 Speaker 1: when they're with us, right because they're here promoting something 48 00:02:38,000 --> 00:02:40,680 Speaker 1: usually music, could be a book, could be a film 49 00:02:40,880 --> 00:02:45,480 Speaker 1: or whatever, and so they're basically, you know, they're going 50 00:02:45,560 --> 00:02:47,800 Speaker 1: to be on their best behavior because we have a 51 00:02:47,800 --> 00:02:50,840 Speaker 1: lot to give them. It's kind of like a an exchange, 52 00:02:50,919 --> 00:02:54,720 Speaker 1: right We are allowing them into our home and exposing 53 00:02:54,720 --> 00:02:59,760 Speaker 1: them to millions of impressions, right for lack of a 54 00:02:59,800 --> 00:03:03,040 Speaker 1: better word, and you know, they give us their time. 55 00:03:03,120 --> 00:03:05,880 Speaker 1: So to say that there was a bad person, I 56 00:03:06,160 --> 00:03:09,720 Speaker 1: would not say that. We've had, you know, interviews that 57 00:03:09,800 --> 00:03:14,640 Speaker 1: were all that awful because everyone's always on their relatively 58 00:03:14,680 --> 00:03:17,880 Speaker 1: best behavior when they're here, So I can't really speak 59 00:03:17,919 --> 00:03:22,919 Speaker 1: to that. You know, as far as the greatest God, 60 00:03:23,000 --> 00:03:26,399 Speaker 1: there are some people that when you're interviewing them, it's 61 00:03:26,440 --> 00:03:30,480 Speaker 1: more like a conversation. The people that people like a 62 00:03:30,520 --> 00:03:33,799 Speaker 1: Michael Boublet or an Enrique Iglesias that have come through 63 00:03:33,800 --> 00:03:35,880 Speaker 1: over the years that have just become our friends. You know, 64 00:03:35,960 --> 00:03:41,560 Speaker 1: Chris Martin from Coldplay, extremely personable. And then you got 65 00:03:41,880 --> 00:03:44,760 Speaker 1: artists that grew up listening to the show, like like 66 00:03:44,840 --> 00:03:49,760 Speaker 1: Lady Gaga, like Halsey, Charlie Pouth. These are people that 67 00:03:50,080 --> 00:03:53,160 Speaker 1: because we've been on for thirty years, they grew up 68 00:03:53,160 --> 00:03:56,120 Speaker 1: in the area and they you know, they talk about 69 00:03:56,120 --> 00:03:58,840 Speaker 1: the times. I'm sure you've seen the interviews before where 70 00:03:58,880 --> 00:04:01,080 Speaker 1: they say, I can't believe I'm here right now, I 71 00:04:01,080 --> 00:04:03,520 Speaker 1: can't believe. I mean, I'm hearing your voice. The Lady 72 00:04:03,560 --> 00:04:07,040 Speaker 1: Gaga moment is amazing because it was the first time 73 00:04:07,080 --> 00:04:10,840 Speaker 1: we really had like a major superstar in here who 74 00:04:11,640 --> 00:04:14,880 Speaker 1: was gushing over meeting us as much as we were 75 00:04:15,040 --> 00:04:17,599 Speaker 1: meeting her. It was it was crazy to think and 76 00:04:17,640 --> 00:04:20,840 Speaker 1: then we're like, wow, we've really reached the age where 77 00:04:22,520 --> 00:04:25,680 Speaker 1: we've been in people's lives long enough. That was about 78 00:04:25,880 --> 00:04:27,680 Speaker 1: it had to be about ten fifteen years at that 79 00:04:27,760 --> 00:04:31,320 Speaker 1: point for her, she where she was like excited that 80 00:04:31,400 --> 00:04:34,640 Speaker 1: her she's now making her debut on her childhood radio station. 81 00:04:34,880 --> 00:04:36,560 Speaker 1: She used to have her Gaga used to have her 82 00:04:36,600 --> 00:04:39,320 Speaker 1: mom record the show on cassette tape. And you know, 83 00:04:39,360 --> 00:04:42,120 Speaker 1: cassette cassettes have a finality to them, so the mom 84 00:04:42,160 --> 00:04:44,520 Speaker 1: would have to go into her room and flip the tape. 85 00:04:44,920 --> 00:04:47,480 Speaker 1: You have to record it, of course four cassettes, so 86 00:04:47,600 --> 00:04:49,760 Speaker 1: she could finish listening to the show when she came 87 00:04:49,760 --> 00:04:51,720 Speaker 1: home from school because she would miss the second half 88 00:04:51,760 --> 00:04:55,400 Speaker 1: of the show. Mind blowing, you know, all the way 89 00:04:55,440 --> 00:04:58,480 Speaker 1: to Timothy Shallomey, who you know you saw the interview. 90 00:04:58,520 --> 00:05:00,840 Speaker 1: We have clips of that, right. Timothy was like, Yeah, 91 00:05:00,839 --> 00:05:02,160 Speaker 1: I used to love the phone taps.

And he grew up on the show 168 00:08:42,559 --> 00:08:47,040 Speaker 1: and he got shot and the bullet paralyzed him and 169 00:08:47,080 --> 00:08:49,160 Speaker 1: he was in a wheelchair. So his name was Jimmy 170 00:08:49,240 --> 00:08:51,760 Speaker 1: on the show.

So my 205 00:10:39,000 --> 00:10:41,559 Speaker 2: question is, would you ever or have you ever been 206 00:10:41,640 --> 00:10:43,520 Speaker 2: Theodore from Alvin and the Chipmunks. 207 00:10:43,960 --> 00:10:47,640 Speaker 1: I've never been Theodore.

I jumped into pajamas 213 00:11:00,800 --> 00:11:03,160 Speaker 1: and I'm. 214 00:11:02,640 --> 00:11:05,840 Speaker 2: But that photo is one of my favorite photos ever. 215 00:11:06,080 --> 00:11:09,960 Speaker 1: Really, yes, I didn't think it made such an imprint and. 216 00:11:09,880 --> 00:11:11,400 Speaker 4: Your personality just goes with it. 217 00:11:11,679 --> 00:11:12,640 Speaker 1: Okay, fair enough. 218 00:11:12,640 --> 00:11:14,320 Speaker 2: So I feel like Theodore is next in line. 219 00:11:14,440 --> 00:11:17,679 Speaker 1: Theodore. Now why Theodore? I mean because Alvin and Simon 220 00:11:17,720 --> 00:11:20,079 Speaker 1: and Theodore are the three chipmunks, right, Yeah? 221 00:11:20,240 --> 00:11:21,920 Speaker 4: Is he the green one?

I've got a question. 236 00:12:08,679 --> 00:12:11,680 Speaker 6: From being on radio for so long, has anyone ever 237 00:12:11,760 --> 00:12:14,200 Speaker 6: recognized your voice out and about in public? 238 00:12:15,240 --> 00:12:15,360 Speaker 2: Oh? 239 00:12:15,880 --> 00:12:17,920 Speaker 4: What is like the weirdest experience. 240 00:12:21,200 --> 00:12:24,920 Speaker 1: Going shopping in a mall, like a clothing store where 241 00:12:24,920 --> 00:12:28,640 Speaker 1: it's just because loud places, people can hear voices all 242 00:12:28,679 --> 00:12:31,000 Speaker 1: the time whatever. But if I ask, if I ask 243 00:12:31,080 --> 00:12:34,160 Speaker 1: somebody for help on something, I'll just use my regular 244 00:12:34,200 --> 00:12:38,280 Speaker 1: everyday voice and it'll take a few minutes to kick in. 245 00:12:39,080 --> 00:12:43,079 Speaker 1: And then they're like, your voice sounds so familiar. So 246 00:12:43,120 --> 00:12:45,559 Speaker 1: there's that. So that has happened before quite a bit. 247 00:12:46,280 --> 00:12:49,960 Speaker 1: And then a lot of times if people like recognize 248 00:12:50,000 --> 00:12:53,720 Speaker 1: me from somewhere over the years, they'll a lot of 249 00:12:53,720 --> 00:12:56,840 Speaker 1: times if they can't place it, they're like, where did 250 00:12:56,840 --> 00:12:59,200 Speaker 1: you go to school? They think that they know me 251 00:12:59,240 --> 00:13:02,760 Speaker 1: from college or something. You look familiar. I know you 252 00:13:02,840 --> 00:13:06,360 Speaker 1: from somewhere and they can't place it. And then there 253 00:13:06,360 --> 00:13:08,040 Speaker 1: are some people that just go like they just know 254 00:13:08,160 --> 00:13:10,200 Speaker 1: right away. Those are the Diehard. 255 00:13:10,600 --> 00:13:12,480 Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, but of course, yeah. 256 00:13:12,400 --> 00:13:15,679 Speaker 1: It happens a lot, mainly in the New York City area, 257 00:13:15,800 --> 00:13:20,520 Speaker 1: Jersey Long Island, the suburbs of Westchester, but occasionally it's 258 00:13:20,520 --> 00:13:22,719 Speaker 1: happened to me in Philly. It's happened to me a 259 00:13:22,760 --> 00:13:25,079 Speaker 1: little bit, quite a bit in South Florida because we've 260 00:13:25,080 --> 00:13:26,920 Speaker 1: been on Q and O two for several years, and 261 00:13:27,320 --> 00:13:29,760 Speaker 1: we've been on Miami why one hundred since two thousand 262 00:13:29,760 --> 00:13:33,200 Speaker 1: and six. Wow, yeah, so people know from there? 263 00:13:33,480 --> 00:13:33,720 Speaker 2: Yeah? 264 00:13:33,760 --> 00:13:35,240 Speaker 3: Interesting? Wow. 265 00:13:35,480 --> 00:13:35,760 Speaker 1: Yeah. 266 00:13:36,000 --> 00:13:37,560 Speaker 3: Circling back, where did you go to school? 267 00:13:38,840 --> 00:13:41,160 Speaker 1: Well, I went to the school in Brooklyn. I went 268 00:13:41,160 --> 00:13:45,000 Speaker 1: to Mark Twain Intermediate School, Edward On Morrow High School. 269 00:13:45,040 --> 00:13:48,640 Speaker 1: Those are Brooklyn schools, and then I went to Brooklyn College. 270 00:13:49,800 --> 00:13:53,000 Speaker 1: And I got to say going to Brooklyn, Everyone's like, 271 00:13:53,080 --> 00:13:55,040 Speaker 1: why are you going to a school where you don't 272 00:13:55,080 --> 00:13:58,280 Speaker 1: like dorm anywhere or join a frat And I'm like, well, 273 00:13:58,360 --> 00:14:01,800 Speaker 1: I'll tell you. Staying home and commuting back and forth 274 00:14:01,840 --> 00:14:05,680 Speaker 1: to college every day allowed me to get this job. 275 00:14:05,720 --> 00:14:09,720 Speaker 1: In my junior year, I was able to carry a 276 00:14:09,760 --> 00:14:12,000 Speaker 1: full load of classes, and on the days that I 277 00:14:12,040 --> 00:14:16,600 Speaker 1: weren't doing classes, I would come here. So it would 278 00:14:16,640 --> 00:14:19,120 Speaker 1: have played out completely different it definitely would have I 279 00:14:19,200 --> 00:14:21,680 Speaker 1: might not even be here right now. Wow, if I 280 00:14:21,720 --> 00:14:23,960 Speaker 1: would have waited till my end of my senior year, 281 00:14:24,480 --> 00:14:27,880 Speaker 1: after going away to school and then coming home and 282 00:14:27,520 --> 00:14:30,640 Speaker 1: then starting my career, because by that point it would 283 00:14:30,680 --> 00:14:34,040 Speaker 1: have been too late because Elvis had already moved from 284 00:14:34,080 --> 00:14:38,920 Speaker 1: afternoons to mornings by the time I was graduating college, 285 00:14:39,280 --> 00:14:42,440 Speaker 1: so there might have been other people in place. I 286 00:14:42,520 --> 00:14:44,440 Speaker 1: might have just been getting my start. The fact that 287 00:14:44,480 --> 00:14:47,480 Speaker 1: I had a one year year and a half had 288 00:14:47,600 --> 00:14:52,760 Speaker 1: start before Elvis went to mornings. That was true for 289 00:14:52,840 --> 00:14:56,520 Speaker 1: myself and Danielle and Greg t who used to work here. 290 00:14:56,640 --> 00:15:00,720 Speaker 1: The three of us were all graduating college same year 291 00:15:01,480 --> 00:15:03,920 Speaker 1: at the same time in nineteen ninety six, and we 292 00:15:03,960 --> 00:15:06,760 Speaker 1: had all been here since ninety five, so we had 293 00:15:06,800 --> 00:15:09,680 Speaker 1: been here for a year and change. And then we 294 00:15:09,800 --> 00:15:13,240 Speaker 1: just luckily fell into place when they moved Elvis to 295 00:15:13,280 --> 00:15:16,640 Speaker 1: the morning show and we were all there with him. 296 00:15:16,800 --> 00:15:17,920 Speaker 4: Wow, that really worked out. 297 00:15:18,200 --> 00:15:18,440 Speaker 6: Geez. 298 00:15:18,520 --> 00:15:22,280 Speaker 1: It is meeting, it is networking. It is it is 299 00:15:23,000 --> 00:15:27,200 Speaker 1: about knowing you know about media and knowing you know 300 00:15:27,280 --> 00:15:29,440 Speaker 1: learning all about it, but it's also being at the 301 00:15:29,520 --> 00:15:31,600 Speaker 1: right place at the right time as well. The climbing 302 00:15:31,720 --> 00:15:35,160 Speaker 1: has to be there, so you know, it's chemistry, it's networking, 303 00:15:35,400 --> 00:15:38,720 Speaker 1: but it's timing. Timing is important. You could have two 304 00:15:38,800 --> 00:15:41,120 Speaker 1: of them but not one, and then you're you don't 305 00:15:41,160 --> 00:15:41,920 Speaker 1: have that job. 306 00:15:42,320 --> 00:15:43,960 Speaker 3: So if it's meant to be I think. 307 00:15:44,120 --> 00:15:47,160 Speaker 6: Building off of that, I suppose, since we are technically 308 00:15:47,200 --> 00:15:50,040 Speaker 6: a college show, if you have anyone getting into radio 309 00:15:50,200 --> 00:15:54,080 Speaker 6: nowadays like us, what would you recommend them to do? 310 00:15:56,400 --> 00:16:03,840 Speaker 1: Have be multifaceted, have multiple talents and things. It's not 311 00:16:03,960 --> 00:16:08,160 Speaker 1: just about radio listen. I mean, I'll be straight up. 312 00:16:08,360 --> 00:16:11,880 Speaker 1: When I came here, I took TV courses and radio courses. 313 00:16:11,920 --> 00:16:15,880 Speaker 1: I gravitated toward radio. I helped rebuild the college radio 314 00:16:15,920 --> 00:16:21,120 Speaker 1: station at Brooklyn College who WBCR Radio Baby Brooklyn College forever. 315 00:16:21,680 --> 00:16:23,680 Speaker 1: We had funds, but no one was spending them. So 316 00:16:23,720 --> 00:16:25,640 Speaker 1: I had to get involved in the politics of it 317 00:16:25,680 --> 00:16:27,560 Speaker 1: and making sure we were able to spend all that 318 00:16:27,600 --> 00:16:30,760 Speaker 1: money on the equipment, hiring a professional engineer. I helped 319 00:16:31,120 --> 00:16:34,680 Speaker 1: in my four years build that station from ashes WO. 320 00:16:35,040 --> 00:16:37,080 Speaker 1: We had the money, though luckily it's sitting there and 321 00:16:37,120 --> 00:16:39,440 Speaker 1: no one was using it, which was foolish. And then 322 00:16:39,520 --> 00:16:42,400 Speaker 1: I was on that college radio station. We helped build 323 00:16:42,400 --> 00:16:47,640 Speaker 1: an infrastructure. That station is thriving today from grants from 324 00:16:47,680 --> 00:16:50,120 Speaker 1: other people who saw what we did back then and 325 00:16:50,160 --> 00:16:52,680 Speaker 1: they built on that. So Brooklyn College Radio was doing 326 00:16:52,720 --> 00:16:56,040 Speaker 1: really well. So I had those so we had that 327 00:16:56,080 --> 00:16:58,920 Speaker 1: situation going, and then I was working here at the 328 00:16:58,920 --> 00:17:03,040 Speaker 1: same time. All that built into just needing to know 329 00:17:03,080 --> 00:17:06,320 Speaker 1: about audio and radio and editing. That's all I needed 330 00:17:06,359 --> 00:17:10,119 Speaker 1: to know. But what's come along since then? I mean 331 00:17:10,119 --> 00:17:13,520 Speaker 1: there was no I mean literally when I got here, 332 00:17:13,880 --> 00:17:18,159 Speaker 1: there was one computer for the entire radio station, and 333 00:17:18,200 --> 00:17:20,720 Speaker 1: it was in a neutral area. It was called the 334 00:17:20,800 --> 00:17:25,679 Speaker 1: Z one hundred Cybercenter, and that it was one a 335 00:17:25,760 --> 00:17:31,200 Speaker 1: singular Macintosh, old school mac and we would take turns 336 00:17:31,240 --> 00:17:34,520 Speaker 1: going on it. We all got email addresses and like 337 00:17:34,560 --> 00:17:37,760 Speaker 1: what's an email? Like, we learned about having an email address. 338 00:17:38,119 --> 00:17:41,119 Speaker 1: So we were just kind of like in the infant 339 00:17:41,160 --> 00:17:44,560 Speaker 1: stages of that. And then and then about a year 340 00:17:44,680 --> 00:17:47,280 Speaker 1: later after computers were starting to like really take shape, 341 00:17:47,320 --> 00:17:51,359 Speaker 1: and then pro tools was invented. Pro tools changed my 342 00:17:51,480 --> 00:17:55,720 Speaker 1: life because they we used to edit on Physically. Do 343 00:17:55,720 --> 00:18:00,040 Speaker 1: you ever see those reels? Those two That's how I 344 00:18:00,119 --> 00:18:02,560 Speaker 1: used to edit anything. And you used to have to 345 00:18:02,600 --> 00:18:05,600 Speaker 1: like listen for the edit and with like a little 346 00:18:05,600 --> 00:18:09,120 Speaker 1: grease pencil market and then forward it and then get 347 00:18:09,119 --> 00:18:12,560 Speaker 1: another and listen by sound where the edit was. And 348 00:18:12,560 --> 00:18:15,000 Speaker 1: and then you take a little like a razor blade 349 00:18:15,000 --> 00:18:17,200 Speaker 1: and you'd cut the two parts. And you would literally 350 00:18:17,240 --> 00:18:19,239 Speaker 1: take the tape and throw it on the floor, so 351 00:18:19,320 --> 00:18:21,399 Speaker 1: all the edits were on the floor. That's what they 352 00:18:21,400 --> 00:18:23,600 Speaker 1: talk about cutting room floor for video and audio editing. 353 00:18:23,880 --> 00:18:27,520 Speaker 1: And then we'd have to tape it together with literal tape, 354 00:18:27,800 --> 00:18:30,520 Speaker 1: and that's how you made your edits. And then that 355 00:18:30,680 --> 00:18:33,040 Speaker 1: was how I learned. And then a year later into 356 00:18:33,080 --> 00:18:36,399 Speaker 1: the job, they wheeled the reel to reel out. I'm like, 357 00:18:36,440 --> 00:18:39,119 Speaker 1: where are you guys going with my editing machine and 358 00:18:39,160 --> 00:18:42,040 Speaker 1: they're like, hold on, we're reeling something out. They wheel 359 00:18:42,040 --> 00:18:44,959 Speaker 1: another machine in and it was basically a Mac with 360 00:18:45,040 --> 00:18:47,479 Speaker 1: Pro Tools on it, black and white, and I'm like, 361 00:18:47,640 --> 00:18:50,440 Speaker 1: what's that. They're like, this is this is the wave 362 00:18:50,480 --> 00:18:54,000 Speaker 1: of the future pun intended wave in the future. I said, 363 00:18:54,119 --> 00:18:56,119 Speaker 1: this is pro They're like, this is Pro Tools and 364 00:18:56,119 --> 00:18:58,240 Speaker 1: I'm like, I don't know how to use this, and 365 00:18:58,240 --> 00:19:00,879 Speaker 1: they're like, on the job training, and they trained me 366 00:19:00,880 --> 00:19:03,280 Speaker 1: how to use pro Tools. So I learned how to 367 00:19:03,400 --> 00:19:06,359 Speaker 1: edit digitally. I went from an analog editing to digital 368 00:19:06,480 --> 00:19:08,639 Speaker 1: editing on and this is maybe doing the weeds for 369 00:19:08,680 --> 00:19:12,359 Speaker 1: all you guys and everyone watching and listening. But I 370 00:19:12,480 --> 00:19:15,600 Speaker 1: learned editing on the job. So to answer your question, 371 00:19:15,720 --> 00:19:21,280 Speaker 1: another long winded question. Answer. Now, my advice is you 372 00:19:21,320 --> 00:19:24,399 Speaker 1: can't just know one aspect. People who just want to 373 00:19:24,400 --> 00:19:26,199 Speaker 1: be like, well, I'm an influencer and i know how 374 00:19:26,200 --> 00:19:29,280 Speaker 1: to talk to a camera and I'm cool. It's about 375 00:19:29,320 --> 00:19:32,879 Speaker 1: having the personality. It's about being real, being unapologetically you. 376 00:19:33,320 --> 00:19:36,359 Speaker 1: All that stuff is known. That's what's going to sell, right, 377 00:19:36,760 --> 00:19:42,320 Speaker 1: But it's also about being prominent in other skills, and 378 00:19:42,359 --> 00:19:45,480 Speaker 1: it's basically a collective of what all you guys are 379 00:19:45,520 --> 00:19:49,240 Speaker 1: doing here right like the digital audio, the video, I 380 00:19:49,280 --> 00:19:54,719 Speaker 1: mean video like having you know, making reels like in 381 00:19:54,760 --> 00:19:57,880 Speaker 1: real time, having like Deanna Franz's on the Switcher, knowing 382 00:19:57,960 --> 00:20:03,320 Speaker 1: video and audio, and and then knowing how to do editorial, 383 00:20:03,640 --> 00:20:07,240 Speaker 1: having to write a story for a quick headline whatever 384 00:20:07,280 --> 00:20:10,160 Speaker 1: that will capture people's attention. You need to have all 385 00:20:10,200 --> 00:20:12,560 Speaker 1: of those skills because now you know, if you're a 386 00:20:12,680 --> 00:20:17,840 Speaker 1: if you're lucky enough to be a music DJ outside 387 00:20:17,840 --> 00:20:20,280 Speaker 1: of mornings, you're doing everything yourself. You may have a 388 00:20:20,560 --> 00:20:23,560 Speaker 1: one person producing you, maybe nobody, So you got to 389 00:20:23,600 --> 00:20:26,679 Speaker 1: have the camera set up. You've got to be doing 390 00:20:26,800 --> 00:20:29,680 Speaker 1: everything all at once and being on the radio and 391 00:20:30,119 --> 00:20:33,040 Speaker 1: in real time making sure you don't mess up. Because 392 00:20:33,400 --> 00:20:35,679 Speaker 1: that's the one difference between a podcast and radio, right 393 00:20:36,440 --> 00:20:40,800 Speaker 1: is radio is live. Yeah, there's no edits. You're in 394 00:20:40,840 --> 00:20:44,760 Speaker 1: real time. So if you choose, so choose, you know 395 00:20:44,840 --> 00:20:46,359 Speaker 1: that could be that could be frightening for a lot 396 00:20:46,400 --> 00:20:48,679 Speaker 1: of people to go live, right, but then you go 397 00:20:48,760 --> 00:20:52,160 Speaker 1: live on Instagram and TikTok all the time, so should 398 00:20:52,160 --> 00:20:54,840 Speaker 1: be no problem. So yeah, to answer your question, you 399 00:20:54,920 --> 00:20:56,920 Speaker 1: need to learn it all and do it all. 400 00:21:05,880 --> 00:21:08,320 Speaker 6: I'm pro college radio stations. I'm a part of mine. 401 00:21:08,400 --> 00:21:09,560 Speaker 6: I know you're a part of yours. 402 00:21:09,640 --> 00:21:11,240 Speaker 3: Yeah, go to college radio. 403 00:21:11,440 --> 00:21:14,000 Speaker 4: Hey, College Radio Day is coming up in April. So 404 00:21:14,359 --> 00:21:15,640 Speaker 4: I love college. 405 00:21:15,280 --> 00:21:17,199 Speaker 1: Radio, I really did, and I weapon was there for 406 00:21:17,240 --> 00:21:20,040 Speaker 1: four years. I support it. I think it's so important 407 00:21:20,520 --> 00:21:22,840 Speaker 1: if you want to get into this industry or anything 408 00:21:22,920 --> 00:21:26,480 Speaker 1: industry adjacent, you know, because the industry is obviously all 409 00:21:26,520 --> 00:21:29,520 Speaker 1: things audio. It's not just radio, but it's the whole broadcast. 410 00:21:29,560 --> 00:21:32,880 Speaker 1: And I will tell you you need that in your life. 411 00:21:32,960 --> 00:21:36,320 Speaker 1: You need to be part of that. You know what 412 00:21:36,440 --> 00:21:39,280 Speaker 1: scares me is when people come to me sometime like, hey, 413 00:21:40,560 --> 00:21:42,040 Speaker 1: they seem like, you guys have a lot of fun 414 00:21:42,080 --> 00:21:43,760 Speaker 1: in the morning, you're hanging out. I love that. I 415 00:21:43,840 --> 00:21:46,080 Speaker 1: want to do that. And they may be well into 416 00:21:46,119 --> 00:21:49,080 Speaker 1: their thirties in a different career, not again, not being ages, 417 00:21:49,200 --> 00:21:51,600 Speaker 1: but they may be in a different career and watch 418 00:21:51,640 --> 00:21:55,560 Speaker 1: down a different path completely and they don't have those skills. Oh, 419 00:21:55,560 --> 00:21:56,720 Speaker 1: but I know how to talk, you know, I could 420 00:21:56,720 --> 00:21:59,600 Speaker 1: just sit in front of a microphone, which may be okay, 421 00:22:00,080 --> 00:22:02,520 Speaker 1: know there may be positions out there for color commentary 422 00:22:02,600 --> 00:22:06,919 Speaker 1: or having that, but I think you need to have 423 00:22:07,359 --> 00:22:10,080 Speaker 1: kind of started down that path from the beginning. And 424 00:22:10,119 --> 00:22:11,800 Speaker 1: I don't have the heart to tell them that it 425 00:22:11,880 --> 00:22:14,960 Speaker 1: may be fifteen years too late. You guys are doing 426 00:22:14,960 --> 00:22:19,800 Speaker 1: it at the right time. Theodora of you, Oh my god, 427 00:22:19,840 --> 00:22:25,200 Speaker 1: I mean my Theodore Era. I love it.

I'm 445 00:23:18,440 --> 00:23:21,200 Speaker 5: curious talking about getting that path start and what made 446 00:23:21,240 --> 00:23:24,040 Speaker 5: you decide from that early age right in college, I 447 00:23:24,080 --> 00:23:26,119 Speaker 5: want to do radio.

I wanted to 450 00:23:32,800 --> 00:23:35,840 Speaker 1: get into live radio now again, podcasting aside, because that's 451 00:23:35,840 --> 00:23:39,040 Speaker 1: come along now, you know. And I do a podcast, 452 00:23:39,280 --> 00:23:43,520 Speaker 1: the Brooklyn Boys podcast, and that that podcast is awesome, 453 00:23:43,640 --> 00:23:47,840 Speaker 1: But that's recorded format, right, that's pre recorded and all that. 454 00:23:47,960 --> 00:23:49,639 Speaker 1: We don't do any edits, by the way, on the 455 00:23:49,640 --> 00:23:52,159 Speaker 1: Brooklyn Boys, we try and do it live as if 456 00:23:52,160 --> 00:23:53,840 Speaker 1: we're and then we just take that and then it's 457 00:23:53,880 --> 00:23:56,399 Speaker 1: but it's still pre recorded. What got me into radio, 458 00:23:57,000 --> 00:23:59,240 Speaker 1: live radio was the fact that it was live and 459 00:23:59,480 --> 00:24:02,960 Speaker 1: we would talking to local area, the local area I 460 00:24:02,960 --> 00:24:04,959 Speaker 1: grew up in. I grew up in Brooklyn, and so 461 00:24:05,480 --> 00:24:07,439 Speaker 1: the Tri State area, the radio station I grew up 462 00:24:07,480 --> 00:24:10,280 Speaker 1: on and with. It was such an honor to work 463 00:24:10,320 --> 00:24:13,800 Speaker 1: here because I wanted to be able to not only 464 00:24:14,600 --> 00:24:17,679 Speaker 1: talk about things that were local to each neighborhood, but 465 00:24:18,359 --> 00:24:21,440 Speaker 1: getting response in real time. If you think about it, 466 00:24:21,840 --> 00:24:26,080 Speaker 1: TV doesn't really offer that. There's nothing that offers a 467 00:24:26,119 --> 00:24:29,480 Speaker 1: real time, complete feedback loop. What do I mean by that? 468 00:24:29,520 --> 00:24:34,800 Speaker 1: I'm sorrying to sound like a professor. Nothing like real 469 00:24:34,880 --> 00:24:39,639 Speaker 1: time when you are live in the moment and you 470 00:24:39,720 --> 00:24:41,959 Speaker 1: have a message you're putting out there. It could be whatever, 471 00:24:42,480 --> 00:24:46,359 Speaker 1: but there's reaction to the message, whether it be the 472 00:24:46,400 --> 00:24:51,359 Speaker 1: a text, via talkback or a phone call, and then 473 00:24:52,200 --> 00:24:55,639 Speaker 1: taking that person and either processing what they're saying and 474 00:24:55,720 --> 00:24:58,600 Speaker 1: changing your message or going down a different paths or 475 00:24:58,640 --> 00:25:02,920 Speaker 1: having that person, you know, jump into the conversation. Isn't 476 00:25:02,920 --> 00:25:06,000 Speaker 1: that One thing that would be awesome about podcast would 477 00:25:06,040 --> 00:25:08,359 Speaker 1: be people hearing this and then all of a sudden 478 00:25:08,400 --> 00:25:11,040 Speaker 1: we go to a caller, yeah, and then they're responding 479 00:25:11,040 --> 00:25:15,600 Speaker 1: to what we're saying. Radio has that very intimate relationship 480 00:25:15,840 --> 00:25:22,159 Speaker 1: with the listener that other media does not provide because 481 00:25:22,200 --> 00:25:25,679 Speaker 1: even with a live let's call it a news show 482 00:25:25,960 --> 00:25:28,440 Speaker 1: or live like the Today Show, right, no offense, no 483 00:25:28,520 --> 00:25:31,280 Speaker 1: shade to the Today Show. But they're talking at a 484 00:25:31,280 --> 00:25:34,439 Speaker 1: camera and even though it's live, they're only getting that's 485 00:25:34,560 --> 00:25:38,320 Speaker 1: one way feedback. There's no feedback loop. It's not feedback 486 00:25:38,359 --> 00:25:43,480 Speaker 1: coming back at them because it's TV. Now, yeah, they 487 00:25:43,480 --> 00:25:47,560 Speaker 1: can some stations that some people have incorporated, Oh yeah, 488 00:25:47,560 --> 00:25:49,360 Speaker 1: we can put this question out there, tell us way 489 00:25:49,400 --> 00:25:51,320 Speaker 1: how you feel, text us, and then they'll do like 490 00:25:51,400 --> 00:25:54,760 Speaker 1: the results of the poll. That's like kind of toward 491 00:25:54,800 --> 00:25:58,800 Speaker 1: what we do. But nothing matches live radio. That's why 492 00:25:58,840 --> 00:26:01,920 Speaker 1: I got into radio, because that's radio. I think names 493 00:26:01,960 --> 00:26:04,960 Speaker 1: something else aside from a TikTok live or Instagram live 494 00:26:06,280 --> 00:26:09,560 Speaker 1: that has that complete feedback loop. There is nothing else. 495 00:26:10,359 --> 00:26:12,360 Speaker 1: I mean you know what the Twitch is like that? Right? 496 00:26:12,560 --> 00:26:13,000 Speaker 4: Oh yeah. 497 00:26:13,080 --> 00:26:16,439 Speaker 1: Twitch is a great example of a live. You know, 498 00:26:16,880 --> 00:26:20,159 Speaker 1: someone's gaming, or they're they're talking, or they're they're mixing, 499 00:26:20,200 --> 00:26:22,639 Speaker 1: and then you got everyone like all that the chat, 500 00:26:23,000 --> 00:26:25,639 Speaker 1: the sub you know on the side there. That's great, 501 00:26:25,840 --> 00:26:29,479 Speaker 1: that's cool, that's that's a great that's the closest that 502 00:26:29,840 --> 00:26:34,480 Speaker 1: modern any modern technology gets to live radio. This is awesome. 503 00:26:34,560 --> 00:26:37,480 Speaker 1: So what have you guys done on this podcast so far? 504 00:26:38,960 --> 00:26:43,000 Speaker 6: Yap, that's literally and traders were talking about reality TV 505 00:26:43,040 --> 00:26:43,280 Speaker 6: a lot. 506 00:26:43,440 --> 00:26:46,280 Speaker 1: Okay, so this is a departure.
