After hearing many people at my store tell me that I should get into radio announcing or voice over, I've decided to at least look into radio and see what it is all about. As a result, I registered as a student at my local community college and joined their radio club: based on my understanding, joining a college radio station is a good way to get into radio, as they allow students to broadcast during various time slots throughout the day.
Today, I attended the radio club's first meeting and found it to be very interesting/informative. In particular, I found the FCC's list of words that cannot be said on the air to be interesting: the gentleman who read them to us could not hold a straight face and had to let out a few chuckles before he could continue. Nevertheless, the radio club staff seems to be very knowledgeable and helpful; I look forward to learning from them. However, I'll have to see if I can work out some time slots that will work with my crazy retail schedule.
Do they have the seven second delay for trouble makers like you?
Being told you're delusional does not necessarily mean you're mental.

Yes, sir. They did instruct us about that. If in the event we should let an inappropriate word slip (or if we are interviewing someone who curses or whatever), then we have seven seconds to press the delete button, so it won't be recorded. In addition, they instructed us about how important it is not to leave the microphone on, as you never know who may walk into the station and say whatever.

You have a knack for making ANY day feel special.
I can't believe it...even Groundhog Day!
OMG...I'm so in love.
And very impressed.

CIJS W,
2 DUIs now? Really?
And I'm just finding out today?
I've been aware you had some tough times money wise, and I also know you're a hard worker, and I've sent some $$ your way therefore. Which you applied to your fine.
I really don't know where to go with this . . . .
The granting of a pardon is an imputation of guilt, and the acceptance a confession of it.

Hopefully you can send more than money? You never sent me a dime, but what you did give me in my time of need really doesn't have a price-tag. You're a good guy, Vorly -- I know you can suss this out too.
