Wxxi Radio

Prior to that time in my life, radio was always something I wanted to do, but only in some vague sense. I'm in my 40s, and although I have 13 years of podcasting experience, that brand of broadcast journalism is not something I've dabbled with before.

I started getting alerts for public media jobs a couple of years ago, but they were always based somewhere far from where I lived. Coincidentally, around that time, I also began regularly connecting with someone who worked for NPR\u2014and she told me she thought I would make a great radio host. Really? You think so?

When I told my brother about my new gig, he was thrilled, but also (in true older brother fashion) perplexed. I explained to him that there's not as hard a line between podcasting and radio broadcasting as there once was, and that my new role at WXXI is equal parts hosting, writing, and creating and pitching stories\u2014the latter of which I have ample experience with, thanks mostly to my work at VegNews.

As I heard myself explaining this to my brother, I realized that perhaps radio isn't as far a cry as I had thought. The more I thought about it, the more it sunk in that I seemed to be a pretty great fit\u2014and my somewhat random background working in various aspects of media-making seemed to be coming together quite nicely in this new (to me) tendril of media.

I can't help but think back to those folx who had planted the seeds to pursue radio. Not only was there the woman from NPR who casually mentioned I should host, but last year\u2014after WXXI covered a story on our net-zero home\u2014I got to chatting with the photographer who came out for the story, and he happened to mention that I'd fit in well at WXXI. You think so?
