My 8th Week @ JAMN 94.5

This week at JAMN things were pretty much the same as they have been. I've been podcasting regularly, I've been submitting my ideas and facebook statuses, and I've also been submitting "List" ideas for Santi. The "list" is a segment Santi does every morning. Typically the list is a step by step process of something, or just a funny simple list about things that happen in life. For example, one of the list I submitted today was "Most Tweeted About Thanks Giving Foods". Santi has used 2 or 3 of my list, which is pretty exciting. Today I asked him if I am going in the right direction with my discussion ideas and list and he told me he loves them so that's a good thing.

Even though I feel a little stuck, today I emailed Santi and asked him if I can continue my internship with them. I truly do enjoy my time there and I absolutely love JAMN. I am aware that in order to reach success one must be patient and persistent. I;ve been with iHeat Media (clearchannel) since May and I would love to stay for another semester to see what happened.

My 7th Week @ JAMN 94.5

So this week I only came in on Thursday as well because I had many projects and things to take care of at school. I notified Justin & Santi on Monday morning asking them if it was okay and they both approved. Today I did pod casting and came up with discussion Ideas for the show. I'm not going to lie, it's kind of depressing to come in after Monster Jam knowing that I could have gone but I didn't. Either way, I'm glad that it went well for the station and I hope the concerts continue being successful in the future.

On the bright side, at the end of my shift today Santi let me know that he used one of my idead for an entire segment last week so that's very exciting!

My 6th Week @ JAMN 94.5

This week I only came in on Thursday because I lost my wallet and had no way to get here because my charlie card and money was in the stolen wallet. I communicated that to Justin and everyone in the station was very understanding. When I did come in, all I did was podcast the on-air segments and that's pretty much it.

This week was pretty slow. Although I enjoy my time here at JAMN, I feel like I have way more to offer. I wish I can do more than just pod-casting. Today I also found out that I am no longer going to be helping out at Monster Jam (neither are any of the other interns). I asked Santi why and he answered that because they are now having Monster Jam at a new location, this venue is very strict and doesn't allow interns there.

Receiving this news is very sad to me, because right when I thought I was going to do something exciting, the opportunity disappears :(
