Was offered some fill in work at a regional station. 10 shows.
Money...?
Five times less than I was making 15 years ago.
Right then...

PD: "Get 3 callers on air every hour. They need to be in our demographic, sound excited, reflect the playlist and then end the call with the station name"
Plug phone number.
*** No calls ***
"Can you work Christmas Day?"
has now become
"Can you VT Christmas Day?"
Standing under a canopy in a shopping centre car park in the pi**ing rain trying to look 'on brand' during an OB.

Whatever happened to the
Top 7 at 7?
Those were the days etc.

Show Prep for today.
1. Snow.
2. I'm a Celeb.
3. All set for Christmas?
Done!

Our Sales guy just called listeners 'customers'.
And the process is complete!

Every Radio DJ in the UK over the age of 40 getting demos ready to send into Radio 2.
"I'm exactly what they need."

Asking listeners to tell us their snow stories.
Job Done!
Take a picture for Insta of the free pizzas sent to the station?
Great idea.
Listeners love to know we receive food for nothing and they don't.
New guy arrives today. Starts on air next Monday. Never been on radio before.
What could possibly go wrong?
Sunday morning on air.
Acting like it's the biggest show of the week.
"What's your favourite breakfast? Text me now".
We used to ask in awe:
"Do you get paid to do this???"
Now we ask without irony:
"Do you get paid for this?"

Fun?
That's asking a lot...!
Me in 1990:
"I'm a radio DJ"
Me in 2024:
I'm a digital audio content creating entertainment professional.
Which pays less.
I wasn't fired from the last job.
I was 'restructured.'
That felt lovely.
Really nice.
Yep.
Definitely not fired.
Best link today?
"8:22, good morning"
Apparently I'm a content creator.

Things I say & don't mean:
1. Hey, great to be with you today.
2. Love this song.
3. I really want you to win the money.

Promo says "What would YOU do if you won the Cash Monster Jackpot?"
- Me?
Walk out of the studio, not put it in Automate and never come back.
But first, here's Ed Sheeran.
Good looking Midday guy is taking two weeks off at Christmas. There'll be a fight to cover his gigs.

Show Prep?
Three promo liners an hour. One weather check. One 'personality' bit.
Oh yeah...LOTS of show prep ;)
Got to get myself all dolled up for my radio show because there are 27 cameras in the studio. There goes my farting and nose picking session.
Radio in 2024 is great. Do your first link, record a stupid dance for Social Media and cry.

I almost have as many followers on here as listeners on my last station.
Joining this app is a bit like being asked to do fill in on GHR over Christmas. Will it go anywhere...?
