For a few years in the early-2000s, I worked an on-air shift each Saturday and Sunday morning from 5-10am. Let's now take a peek at what I did on the Friday and Saturday evening prior to working those glorious early-bird shifts: here we see Todd staring at the clock and counting down the amount of sleep I would get if I fell asleep right at that moment. "OK, I can get five hours of sleep if I fall asleep right now." This process would get repeated each week and usually culminated in me accumulating about two to four hours of sleep.
Phil Collins, Elton John, and Gloria Estefan dominated Adult Contemporary radio back in the 1980s and '90s, yet have disappeared from modern radio. Seemingly, the only time you ever hear them is at the grocery store or your local CVS. This blog remembers the music, the stories and the quirky characters from my days working in Adult Contemporary radio.
