Time Away From The Microphone

Ever since I started on the radio some 6+ years ago, I have taken pride in my work as a radio personality. I have never missed a show unless I was on vacation or won tickets to a show in Las Vegas. I have listened to every show I have been involved with on podcast in order to critique my efforts and the efforts of those involved with Vegas Unwrapped in order to grow and make the show the best it can be each week. These steps have provided the opportunity for what I like to call consistency.

Then there comes the “forced” time off. We took the week off from our show in between Christmas and New Years for a break. But I wonder if it really pays to take time off for the reasons I mentioned above. I feel like when we are not on the air, we lose ground to the competition. Part of this feeling is that I get so wrapped in the production of the show by lining up guests and getting things ready that when I don’t have to do this, I feel lost with nothing to do. Truth be told, there is never NOTHING to do since we are always thinking ahead for shows but it gets me out of a normal Wednesday routine.

Bottom line is when you love doing something as much as I love being on the radio, it’s strange not doing it. Once it’s in the blood, you are bitten and hate to miss it for any reason.

When I am in the studio or on location doing a live remote it’s like being in a world where nobody can touch me. It’s like being out with the boys at the bowling alley on a Friday night where you can just let loose and enjoy.

The good news is that I have less than week to go when I back on the air. Vegas Unwrapped airs every Wednesday night from
7-9 PM PST. You can go to http://www.vegasunwrapped.net and click on the LISTEN LIVE banner at the top of the Home Page. You can also logon direct to http://www.lvrocks.com to listen and join the chatroom as well.

May 2013 be a prosperous New Year for you and your family.

Until next time…..
