Radio Isn’t As Glamorous As You Think It Is – [LISTEN]

While I have many fond memories of my time in radio, I won’t pretend that there weren’t some traumatic incidents as well.

You see, for a woman, I sometimes wonder if the radio industry is “different” for us.

When we do good work, all of a sudden, we’re a “threat” – and sometimes ousted for that. You also don’t choose your own playlist. You’re usually at the mercy of advertisers and sponsors too.

This is the real on radio. I brought my friend Jessica Dean for a discussion on what we both endured, and how to rise above it.

This is a lesson in how to move forward and thrive. To hear more from Jess’s podcast, check out Jess Sayin’.
