A couple of weeks ago, after WBAP’s poor judgment in sticking with me despite a ridiculously long amount of time, I returned to work.

Ten Years Later

The other day, I was talking to an associate who works in public relations. She asked how long I’d been in radio. I said I’d started in 2004. Then I realized I had started my first job right after Labor Day.”Hey, I’ve been doing this almost exactly ten years!” I said. And then I started wondering…
