I’m a first-year having my first experience in college radio! As a prospie, the one student extracurricular I absolutely knew I wanted to pursue was working at the radio station. It was my dream. When I got to Oberlin this fall, I meticulously crafted my radio application, a show on movie/tv soundtracking (something I am very passionate about), which luckily was accepted! My show is 5-6am Monday mornings, and here is what a morning doing my radio show is like!
4:28 am – Four twenty-eight. In. The. Morning. Is when my first alarm goes off. It’s terrifying, to say the least. I have to put my phone on full volume the night before my radio show because I’m scared that if I don’t have it blasting full volume, I’ll sleep through my alarm and just miss the show. Basically, I make it so the fear & adrenaline roused by the Apple-composed “Waves” alarm…
