  Speaker 1: Okay, hi guys, welcome into the after show podcast justin Here.
• 0:04
  Speaker 1: Today is Wednesday, February eleventh, and welcome all. It's gonna
• 0:09
  Speaker 1: be forty degrees today. Might bust out the shorts because
• 0:12
  Speaker 1: it feels like summer. It's been so cold lately, and
• 0:15
  Speaker 1: we got about three to four inches in Salem, New Hampshire.
• 0:20
  Speaker 1: I said this on the show. You know, I think
• 0:21
  Speaker 1: last week. I grew up here in Boston many many winters,
• 0:26
  Speaker 1: and typically I handle it very well. I don't. I'm
• 0:28
  Speaker 1: not one to complain about the weather. But there's something
• 0:31
  Speaker 1: about this winter. And it's not the snow. It's the cold.
• 0:35
  Speaker 1: It's the constant cold, every single day, just freezing. It
• 0:39
  Speaker 1: just sucks, really kills your mood. And a hot tip,
• 0:42
  Speaker 1: by the way, Vitamin D is so important in the winter.
• 0:46
  Speaker 1: If you take vitamins and supplements. You know, obviously in
• 0:50
  Speaker 1: the sun in the summertime, the sunshine gives you vitamin D.
• 0:53
  Speaker 1: You don't really need to supplement if you're out in
• 0:55
  Speaker 1: the sun, you know, in some capacity. But in the
• 0:58
  Speaker 1: winter time it's super important, and so you want to
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: load up on vitamin D. I get vitamin D and
• 1:03
  Speaker 1: K two, K three I forget it's a combination. Look
• 1:07
  Speaker 1: it up, check it out. That's my hot tip of
• 1:09
  Speaker 1: the day. Anyway, the after show is always available for
• 1:13
  Speaker 1: the talkbacks to give feedback or questions or comments if
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: you missed the show On Monday, I had my friend
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: Allan on who could you know a little bit of
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: rough around the edges. I gave you the warning on that,
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: but people seem to like it. It was definitely raw, definitely unfiltered,
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: and definitely worth a listening.
• 1:28
  Speaker 2: Cent I just finished listening to you and Alan. He
• 1:33
  Speaker 2: is hilarious. You guys are so genuine and wonderful, and
• 1:39
  Speaker 2: I'm so happy for both of you as someone who
• 1:42
  Speaker 2: lost a brother to addiction and just the way you
• 1:46
  Speaker 2: guys talk about your lists and just focus and make
• 1:49
  Speaker 2: you what you really want out of life and doing it,
• 1:52
  Speaker 2: and God bless both of you.
• 1:54
  Speaker 3: But he was great.
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: Oh, thank you so much. I'll have to play that
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: for him or he might be listening he listens to
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: this podcast. But yes, an interesting thing about addiction and recovery,
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: which I talk about endlessly because it's such an important
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: part of my life. It's the number one thing in
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: my life without my recovery. I would not have any
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: of this stuff. I wouldn't have this job, my family,
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: or any of the cool stuff that I was able
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: to acquire since I got clean. But when I tell
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: normal people, when I say normal, I just need people
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: that don't, you know, suffer from addiction. When I tell
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: them any story, any story that I share in this
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: podcast or on the air, or to anybody really, they
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: look at you with this look of bewilderment, like you
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: really did that, like shock. But when you tell somebody
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: that's in recovery that has been through the ringer, they're
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: just like, oh, yeah, me too, or they have a
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: follow up story or a story that's even crazier. And
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: that's the connection that we have. And I think that
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: was displayed in the podcast with Alan, because that's how
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: we are in real life. When he's at my house,
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: when we're doing the sauna and the ice bath, we
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: chat it up and that's how we talk. And we
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: just really tried to convey that. I know, we dropped
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: a lot of F bombs. I did bring that up
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: during the podcast. He got more and more comfortable as
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: we started talking, and at one point I had to
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: remind him, like, dude, we'll not remind him. But you know, hey,
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: you're saying after you know, every other word.
• 3:10
  Speaker 4: Justin this is MO. I have to say, that was
• 3:12
  Speaker 4: an awesome guest, Alan, what just just the self reflection
• 3:19
  Speaker 4: of you guys and your relationship was so awesome. And
• 3:22
  Speaker 4: he's hysterical. What a fucking who dude, Huh, this is
• 3:27
  Speaker 4: a fucking whop And there I am fucking warrants up
• 3:31
  Speaker 4: the ass.
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: Jesus Christ.
• 3:34
  Speaker 4: Fucking dude, you can't even right, like fucking win Man.
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: Yeah, that's exactly how he talks. And sometimes we'll be
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: in the house and they'll be kids around, you know,
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: he has a daughter and then my children, and he'll
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: be talking dropping f bombs and I'm like, bro, can
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: we tone it down a little bit please? But he
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: is who he is. But we appreciate the feedback. Okay,
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: which brings me to today's guest. Two guests in one week.
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: Today is a special one. But I like to think
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: that every guest that I have this podcast is special.
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: I teased this yesterday, so if you listen to the show, Okay, lately,
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: there's been reference to somebody new behind the scenes, Katie,
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: and Katie has also been the judge for the Secret Sound,
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: and it's not often that we get new people here
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: at the radio station. There was a lot of changes
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: that happened towards the end of twenty twenty five. We've
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: talked about it endlessly, but Katie is the newest member
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: of the team here at Kiss went Away Billion Lisa
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: in the Morning, and I think, really iHeart Boston in general.
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: So she's been here for about a month or so.
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: I don't know if I'm wrong on that. She can
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: correct me on that, but I thought it was only
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: right to give her a proper introduction on this podcast.
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: So welcome Katie, Hi, justin. How are you?
• 4:51
  Speaker 3: I am good? You're making me nervous. You're hyping me up.
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: Oh that's what I do. I make everything sound bigger
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: than it is. But this is a big deal, you know.
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: So how long have you been here?
• 5:02
  Speaker 3: I would say exactly what you said, about a month
• 5:03
  Speaker 3: or so, even I'm not sure.
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: Okay, okay, before we get into how you got here
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: and who you are and what you're all about, how's
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: it been so far?
• 5:13
  Speaker 3: It's been awesome. It's been really fun. It's been a
• 5:16
  Speaker 3: great opportunity. I think just being here. I still feel
• 5:20
  Speaker 3: as though even though I'm a month and I'm still
• 5:22
  Speaker 3: a little bit in awe of everybody.
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: Right, yeah, well it is cool. It's a cool ass job.
• 5:27
  Speaker 3: It's oh my gosh, yeah, a lot of pressure. Though
• 5:31
  Speaker 3: sometimes I get a little nervous.
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: No, you're doing great. You're doing it. You're doing a
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: great job. Listen, you're showing up. You're doing your job.
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: And that's that's the most important thing to me. You know,
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: I mean the talent, you know, talent and and all
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: that stuff is great. But if you can just show up,
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: give one hundred percent care about what you're doing, that
• 5:49
  Speaker 1: can go a long way in life. So, first and foremost,
• 5:54
  Speaker 1: where are you from?
• 5:54
  Speaker 3: I'm from Greenville, South Carolina?
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: South Carolina? Okay, No, I don't have the I know,
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: I noticed that.
• 6:01
  Speaker 3: So my dad's from Florida. My mom's from Bilwick, she's
• 6:04
  Speaker 3: from Massachusetts. Grew up listening to Kissquona.
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: Way, was that how you ended up here?
• 6:08
  Speaker 3: No, it's not how I ended up here. How I
• 6:10
  Speaker 3: end up here is going Okay, it's a story.
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: Okay, So you grew up in South Carolina? And then
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: how old were you when you came here?
• 6:18
  Speaker 3: So I was what eighteen I was eighteen. I spent
• 6:22
  Speaker 3: my first year at the University of New Hampshire. I
• 6:24
  Speaker 3: studied English and journalism. Transferred my sophomore year to Emerson College,
• 6:29
  Speaker 3: which is downtown Boston. So that's when I like, oh yeah,
• 6:31
  Speaker 3: I ended up in the city, spent two years there,
• 6:34
  Speaker 3: got my journalism degree, graduated a year early. This past
• 6:37
  Speaker 3: May decided, all right, am I going to move back
• 6:40
  Speaker 3: home to South Carolina? Was like, Okay, I'm not. I'm
• 6:44
  Speaker 3: gonna stay. I'm gonna try to figure it out. I'm
• 6:46
  Speaker 3: going to give myself a year. See if I can
• 6:48
  Speaker 3: get a job, see if I can like really just
• 6:50
  Speaker 3: jump and find my footing. And I had. We'll go
• 6:54
  Speaker 3: in to the story of how I got here.
• 6:56
  Speaker 1: Hold that thought. How old are you right now?
• 6:59
  Speaker 3: I'm twenty two?
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: Oh my god, twenty two? Yeah? Wow? Okay, So you
• 7:06
  Speaker 1: graduated a year early from Emerson. From Emerson, yeah, now,
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: why'd you graduate early? Because you are a good pupil.
• 7:12
  Speaker 3: I think I was a good pupil. I had some
• 7:15
  Speaker 3: ext like some college credit from a dual enrollment program
• 7:18
  Speaker 3: I did when I was in high school. All right,
• 7:20
  Speaker 3: and it turns out that you and Ah didn't take
• 7:23
  Speaker 3: all those credits, but Emerson did, and then I kind
• 7:25
  Speaker 3: of I was weighing my options. I was like, Okay,
• 7:27
  Speaker 3: do I do a full another year of school, pay
• 7:30
  Speaker 3: college tuition for another takeout another loan? Like what do
• 7:34
  Speaker 3: I do? And I decided that just being done and
• 7:38
  Speaker 3: I'm a hands on learner, I'm somebody who likes to
• 7:40
  Speaker 3: be in it one hundred percent. I like to just
• 7:43
  Speaker 3: do by learning, do by observing that. I was like,
• 7:45
  Speaker 3: I don't think that another year in a classroom would
• 7:48
  Speaker 3: be best for me, even though what Emerson does is
• 7:51
  Speaker 3: a lot of putting you out in the field, really
• 7:52
  Speaker 3: putting you in it, especially journalism program. I just decided that, like, Okay,
• 7:56
  Speaker 3: I'm ready. I want to see what I can do.
• 7:59
  Speaker 3: I think that I'm ready to just go for it.
• 8:02
  Speaker 1: Yeah, everything I learned in radio I learned on site.
• 8:05
  Speaker 1: I didn't learn one thing in college that I applied here,
• 8:08
  Speaker 1: which doesn't mean that I didn't learn stuff in college.
• 8:10
  Speaker 1: It was good, But as far as like what I
• 8:12
  Speaker 1: do technically, you know, I learned everything here.
• 8:16
  Speaker 3: Oh yeah, as an intern it was really interesting. I
• 8:20
  Speaker 3: had college radio experience, so when I had the lucky
• 8:24
  Speaker 3: chance to end up here at iHeart. I was like, okay,
• 8:26
  Speaker 3: you know I have I can't click a button or
• 8:29
  Speaker 3: two like I could do this. I got here, blew
• 8:32
  Speaker 3: every place all the all the two college radios I
• 8:35
  Speaker 3: worked at out of the Water.
• 8:36
  Speaker 1: Well, were you at Emerson Radio.
• 8:39
  Speaker 3: Emerson eighty eight nine. I was at WECB. It's their
• 8:42
  Speaker 3: student run radio station. I used to be FM but
• 8:45
  Speaker 3: is now it's a live stream online. So like we
• 8:48
  Speaker 3: still have a little studio, we have the board, but
• 8:50
  Speaker 3: I was doing mostly logistics stuff with them.
• 8:52
  Speaker 1: Do they still have eighty eight nine? Do you know
• 8:54
  Speaker 1: what that is? Yeah?
• 8:55
  Speaker 3: WRS?
• 8:56
  Speaker 1: Is that still a thing still? What do they play
• 8:58
  Speaker 1: on there?
• 8:59
  Speaker 3: They played they call it I feel like it's the
• 9:02
  Speaker 3: like the alternative sound of Boston or something.
• 9:05
  Speaker 1: Okay, So growing up, I grew up in Malden, which
• 9:07
  Speaker 1: is right here next to where we are. They had
• 9:11
  Speaker 1: hip hop on that station, like underground hip hop at nighttime,
• 9:14
  Speaker 1: the eighty eight nine at night and so when I
• 9:17
  Speaker 1: was a kid, I listened to it because they would
• 9:19
  Speaker 1: play like songs, rap songs that they didn't play on
• 9:22
  Speaker 1: jamming or kiss runawait you know, So I would listen there.
• 9:25
  Speaker 1: So that's good. So they're still going, they're still going. Yeah, okay,
• 9:27
  Speaker 1: So but you're a broadcast journalism major, just regular journalist,
• 9:32
  Speaker 1: just journalism. So you know, I was a journalism major.
• 9:35
  Speaker 1: My degree is in journalism. Yes, I wanted to be
• 9:39
  Speaker 1: a hip hop writer. Okay, that was my goal because
• 9:42
  Speaker 1: I had a checkered past, so I never thought that
• 9:47
  Speaker 1: radio would hire me. So that's what happened. But I
• 9:50
  Speaker 1: did write for my student newspaper. Nice yep. And let
• 9:52
  Speaker 1: me tell you, one of the proudest days of my
• 9:55
  Speaker 1: life was when I got printed in the student newspaper
• 9:58
  Speaker 1: at Northern Essex and I was able to to go
• 10:01
  Speaker 1: and give my mom a copy.
• 10:02
  Speaker 3: Oh that's a great feeling.
• 10:04
  Speaker 1: Yeah, because I wanted to. So my goal was to
• 10:07
  Speaker 1: get to cover concerts and cover tours, and I thought
• 10:10
  Speaker 1: it would be cool to go and like meet with
• 10:12
  Speaker 1: rappers or any any music really and you get to
• 10:15
  Speaker 1: meet them in the interview with them. That would be cool,
• 10:17
  Speaker 1: you know. So what was your goal?
• 10:20
  Speaker 3: Okay, again, because you're a good writer, obviously, I'm I'm
• 10:24
  Speaker 3: a bit of a fickle person. I went in wanting
• 10:26
  Speaker 3: to do sports journal as I played hockey for many
• 10:29
  Speaker 3: years when I was a kid, and so I went
• 10:32
  Speaker 3: up North and was like, Okay, I'm gonna be a
• 10:34
  Speaker 3: sports writer. I'm gonna work for the Bruins, gonna write
• 10:37
  Speaker 3: for the Red Sox. I got this, got there, found
• 10:39
  Speaker 3: the radio station, was like, okay, maybe I want to
• 10:41
  Speaker 3: do concert writing. Maybe I've found a bit more of
• 10:44
  Speaker 3: my people. And then I went in to Emerson. I
• 10:47
  Speaker 3: ended up reporting on architectural accessibility for my senior project.
• 10:51
  Speaker 3: Like totally switching. So I've just had a little bit
• 10:54
  Speaker 3: of everything, and I mean, I still I have to
• 10:56
  Speaker 3: remind myself that I graduated and was like what do
• 10:59
  Speaker 3: I want to do? What do I want to study?
• 11:01
  Speaker 3: What do I want to be? Who do I want
• 11:02
  Speaker 3: to be? And it's now just okay, well maybe I
• 11:05
  Speaker 3: just have to take the first step of what am
• 11:06
  Speaker 3: I going to do now? And ended up being in
• 11:08
  Speaker 3: radio so here I am.
• 11:09
  Speaker 1: Well, that's a good segue into how you got here
• 11:14
  Speaker 1: because when you are found quote unquote, you were not
• 11:19
  Speaker 1: working in journalism. You're working at a bakery in Cambridge.
• 11:25
  Speaker 3: Not in Cambridge South the South End.
• 11:27
  Speaker 1: Oh it's in the South End. You live in Cambridge.
• 11:29
  Speaker 1: You live in Cambridge.
• 11:30
  Speaker 3: Yes, So this is again I'm gonna segue I used
• 11:34
  Speaker 3: to live in the South End, and that's how I
• 11:36
  Speaker 3: got the job at the bakery.
• 11:37
  Speaker 1: Okay, what's the bakery.
• 11:38
  Speaker 3: So the bakery is Callet Bakery. It's a French I've
• 11:41
  Speaker 3: heard of it. Great little French place, super awesome, super yummy.
• 11:45
  Speaker 3: And I lived for my senior year, like tutors, down
• 11:48
  Speaker 3: in an apartment. So I got my senior year. It
• 11:51
  Speaker 3: was like I think August August twenty twenty four, moved in,
• 11:55
  Speaker 3: said that is a cute little bakery and how fun
• 11:58
  Speaker 3: would it be if I lived on the street, worked
• 12:01
  Speaker 3: on the street, and then was also a student, you know,
• 12:03
  Speaker 3: get some cash to cash to spend by my groceries,
• 12:06
  Speaker 3: you know. So I worked mornings. I go in in
• 12:09
  Speaker 3: the morning, make lattes, go to class in the afternoon,
• 12:11
  Speaker 3: do my radio stuff, all that good stuff. And then
• 12:14
  Speaker 3: as I graduated, I was looking for places to say,
• 12:18
  Speaker 3: South End was not in the question. Central Square, Cambridge, great,
• 12:21
  Speaker 3: lovely love Cambridge. So I moved and I ended up
• 12:25
  Speaker 3: having the opportunity to stay working at the bakery and
• 12:27
  Speaker 3: just up my hours. So I'm working every day at
• 12:31
  Speaker 3: the bakery. Now I'm doing LinkedIn the I'm reaching out
• 12:35
  Speaker 3: to people via email. I'm trying to cold call people.
• 12:38
  Speaker 3: I'm applying to internships, job after job after job. I
• 12:42
  Speaker 3: mean I didn't even get one interview, not one. I'm
• 12:45
  Speaker 3: doing indeed, work day, all of it.
• 12:48
  Speaker 1: And I just now, where were you sending them to?
• 12:50
  Speaker 1: Like what kind of jobs?
• 12:51
  Speaker 3: I was saying, journalism, publishing. I ended up looking at
• 12:55
  Speaker 3: some stuff with local government. Like I was throwing the
• 12:59
  Speaker 3: net wide and saying that, Okay, journalism gave me a
• 13:01
  Speaker 3: really good basis of a lot of different skills. Where
• 13:04
  Speaker 3: can I go with this?
• 13:05
  Speaker 1: Yeah, because what was your what was your degree in
• 13:08
  Speaker 1: in journalism? Yes see, I had a minor in journalism.
• 13:11
  Speaker 1: My major was communications, which.
• 13:13
  Speaker 3: Is even more broad. So that's fantastic.
• 13:16
  Speaker 1: Yeah. Yeah, So then you're working at the bakery, working
• 13:19
  Speaker 1: at the bakery, not in your field, in my field. Okay,
• 13:21
  Speaker 1: no pause, right there, pause right there. Okay. So on
• 13:25
  Speaker 1: our end at the end of twenty twenty five, there
• 13:28
  Speaker 1: were some major changes here at iHeart Boston on Jammin
• 13:32
  Speaker 1: Kiss one eight I think the Rumba. There was just
• 13:35
  Speaker 1: major changes. Big companies they do layoufs and unfortunately we
• 13:39
  Speaker 1: were hit. So one of the members of our show, Winnie,
• 13:41
  Speaker 1: was let go Yeah, it was a big shock, big
• 13:43
  Speaker 1: thing was well talked and covered right. Sucks. But so
• 13:49
  Speaker 1: she got laid off. That position got eliminated. Okay, So
• 13:51
  Speaker 1: producer Riley was our phone screeners. She was doing what
• 13:54
  Speaker 1: you're doing now, And so when that position was done,
• 13:59
  Speaker 1: they needed somebody to obviously go in and run the
• 14:01
  Speaker 1: board and do the technical part of the show, not
• 14:03
  Speaker 1: the talking part, the technical part. So Riley already how
• 14:07
  Speaker 1: to do it, you know what I mean, Like we
• 14:08
  Speaker 1: had already trained her to fill in. Yeah, and you know,
• 14:11
  Speaker 1: there's all these conspiracy theories out there which I will
• 14:14
  Speaker 1: debunk right now, that we were training her to take
• 14:18
  Speaker 1: over the role of her of winning. But that's not true.
• 14:21
  Speaker 1: We were training her so she could fill in for
• 14:23
  Speaker 1: her and for me, So I taught her what I
• 14:25
  Speaker 1: did as well. So anyway, so Riley moved out of
• 14:28
  Speaker 1: that position into the studio. So now we had nobody
• 14:32
  Speaker 1: to answer the phones, okay, which was a big deal,
• 14:35
  Speaker 1: you know. So basically I'm answering the phones while live.
• 14:38
  Speaker 1: It was crazy. So I'm doing talkbacks because Riley also
• 14:42
  Speaker 1: helped me with like getting talkbacks and putting them in
• 14:44
  Speaker 1: and all that stuff. So I was on the show
• 14:47
  Speaker 1: answering phones and doing talkbacks and everything else that I'm doing,
• 14:50
  Speaker 1: which was insane. I got it, but it was very,
• 14:52
  Speaker 1: very stressful. So we needed a phone screener. Okay. So
• 14:55
  Speaker 1: I went to McCabe. He knew about it, and he said,
• 14:57
  Speaker 1: I'm working on it. I'm working on it. I'm working
• 14:59
  Speaker 1: on him talking to this person and that person. He's
• 15:01
  Speaker 1: trying to find somebody that can be like entry level
• 15:05
  Speaker 1: and can answer our phones but also do other things
• 15:08
  Speaker 1: at the radio station. They wanted like a utility person, right,
• 15:13
  Speaker 1: And just so happens that McCabe found one when he
• 15:18
  Speaker 1: wasn't even where. He wasn't even looking, because he goes
• 15:22
  Speaker 1: to the bakery that you work at.
• 15:23
  Speaker 3: He was one of my regulars for months and.
• 15:26
  Speaker 1: You had no idea that he worked on the radio,
• 15:28
  Speaker 1: not a clue. So McKay would come in, get a
• 15:32
  Speaker 1: latte and a muffin.
• 15:33
  Speaker 3: Oh he gets an iced coffee with oat milk.
• 15:35
  Speaker 1: Okay, mm hmmm, m And.
• 15:36
  Speaker 3: We don't even sew muffins. He's getting two choquettes. It's
• 15:40
  Speaker 3: like a little French puff pastry with sugar on it.
• 15:43
  Speaker 1: Oh, okay, all right, So he would come in, you'd
• 15:46
  Speaker 1: chat it up, you'd serve him. What'd you know him as?
• 15:49
  Speaker 3: Okay? In my defense, I he had told me his name.
• 15:53
  Speaker 3: I'm a barista. I have a lot of regulars that
• 15:56
  Speaker 3: worked at this bakery for a long time.
• 15:57
  Speaker 1: Do you say mccab or mic.
• 15:59
  Speaker 3: Though I don't remember, okay, because I called him Joe
• 16:05
  Speaker 3: I and I look, I didn't know and he it
• 16:10
  Speaker 3: was like months, we're talking six months. He's coming in,
• 16:12
  Speaker 3: he's he's come in with friends before he's coming back.
• 16:15
  Speaker 3: He walked in the bakery, ire all my regulars and go,
• 16:17
  Speaker 3: hey Joe.
• 16:18
  Speaker 1: Oh, so you would call him Joe? Yeah, And he
• 16:20
  Speaker 1: didn't correct you.
• 16:21
  Speaker 3: No. Months.
• 16:22
  Speaker 1: See, that's his fault.
• 16:23
  Speaker 3: It wasn't until he walks in one day and I'd
• 16:26
  Speaker 3: reached the point in my desperate search for something that
• 16:29
  Speaker 3: wasn't the bakery because it's you know, I just I
• 16:31
  Speaker 3: was getting nantcy. I wanted I wanted something. I wanted
• 16:33
  Speaker 3: to feel like I was doing something, learning something new,
• 16:35
  Speaker 3: like anything. He comes in, and I had at that
• 16:38
  Speaker 3: point been relying on a lot of my regulars who
• 16:41
  Speaker 3: were a little bit older than me, had different careers,
• 16:43
  Speaker 3: and just asking them, what do you do? Any chance
• 16:46
  Speaker 3: I got I'd be talking to the people that I
• 16:48
  Speaker 3: see often who like know me, who I knew them?
• 16:50
  Speaker 3: What do you do? How'd you get your job? Do
• 16:52
  Speaker 3: you like it? Like? What advice do you have for
• 16:55
  Speaker 3: I was networking and Joe comes in and it's a weekend.

  Speaker 3: What's that logo? iHeartRadio? Yeah, okay, my heart drops. I'm like,

• 18:07
  Speaker 3: I'll see if I can help you whatever. I come
• 18:09
  Speaker 3: to the studio. I remember sitting outside of this iHeartRadio
• 18:11
  Speaker 3: studio on the phone with one of my best friends
• 18:13
  Speaker 3: who's back in New Hampshire, crying, being like I just
• 18:16
  Speaker 3: I gotta figure something out. It's been months since I graduated.
• 18:19
  Speaker 3: I'd feel so lost, like I don't know what I
• 18:22
  Speaker 3: want to do. I don't know, like I had met
• 18:25
  Speaker 3: with so many people. I'd met with someone at the
• 18:28
  Speaker 3: like who was a legislative aid. I'd met with somebody
• 18:31
  Speaker 3: who went to Harvard Law, Like I was talking to
• 18:33
  Speaker 3: people who were in the publishing field and who like
• 18:36
  Speaker 3: had you know, just all these different things and I
• 18:39
  Speaker 3: just couldn't figure it out. And I go in and
• 18:40
  Speaker 3: I meet mckaybn like ten minutes in. I was like, oh,
• 18:45
  Speaker 3: like wait, I don't think this is just gonna be information,
• 18:48
  Speaker 3: Like I think he might want to I think he
• 18:50
  Speaker 3: might have something too.
• 18:51
  Speaker 1: Well, you didn't know what was going on here, obviously
• 18:53
  Speaker 1: no clue. We were actually looking for somebody, not a clue.
• 18:57
  Speaker 1: And it's like the timing of that is unbelievable. Because
• 19:00
  Speaker 1: we do not hire people here. It's very hard to
• 19:04
  Speaker 1: get in.
• 19:05
  Speaker 3: I googled it. I googled like what is the chance
• 19:08
  Speaker 3: of getting Ieheart? And they were like nat. So I
• 19:11
  Speaker 3: was kind of like, okay. I went and hyping myself
• 19:13
  Speaker 3: up for like good information, good connection, like advice that
• 19:17
  Speaker 3: if something were to open up, i'd already have a
• 19:20
  Speaker 3: name that like oh hey, like I've met you before.
• 19:23
  Speaker 3: And I walked out. I remember getting on the Orange
• 19:25
  Speaker 3: line here and like again before and after very professionally
• 19:30
  Speaker 3: crying on the phone with my mom and being like
• 19:31
  Speaker 3: I'm like, okay, I got a step, Like I got it,
• 19:34
  Speaker 3: I got something like I'm gonna start, I'm gonna be
• 19:37
  Speaker 3: able to do something.
• 19:39
  Speaker 1: There's nothing wrong with that. I cried to my mom
• 19:40
  Speaker 1: all the time.
• 19:41
  Speaker 3: Oh yeah on the rag you know it.
• 19:44
  Speaker 1: Yeah, so you come in, you check it out, and
• 19:45
  Speaker 1: then when does he tell you that they want to
• 19:49
  Speaker 1: offer you the job? That day? Oh? That day? That
• 19:51
  Speaker 1: day okay, So that must have been when he texted me. Okay,
• 19:54
  Speaker 1: because he texted me out of nowhere. And now what
• 19:56
  Speaker 1: do you remember when this was? Was it was before Christmas?
• 19:59
  Speaker 3: Yes, it was like I think two weeks before jingle.
• 20:01
  Speaker 1: Ball okay, because during in December, I want to say,
• 20:05
  Speaker 1: we were on vacation maybe, so maybe he told you
• 20:09
  Speaker 1: and then he had to get like the approval, the
• 20:10
  Speaker 1: whole thing. Yeah, but he texted me and he goes,
• 20:14
  Speaker 1: I found somebody, and I'm like for what, And he's like,
• 20:17
  Speaker 1: to answer your phones and do other stuff as well.
• 20:20
  Speaker 1: I found a good one and I'm like really wow, okay.
• 20:24
  Speaker 1: And then after Christmas you started and here you are.
• 20:27
  Speaker 1: So you've been here mostly helping us, Yes, and you
• 20:32
  Speaker 1: did shadow some other areas of the radio station, other
• 20:35
  Speaker 1: shows down the hall jam and because I believe what
• 20:39
  Speaker 1: they want you to do is reside in our studio
• 20:43
  Speaker 1: answer our phones. But I can say that our show
• 20:46
  Speaker 1: is more talk back heavy as opposed to calls. So
• 20:49
  Speaker 1: it's very important for contesting and also for our topic time,
• 20:53
  Speaker 1: which is a call in segment. But other than that,
• 20:56
  Speaker 1: like if you need to jump somewhere else, you can exactly,
• 20:58
  Speaker 1: And so they want you to be kind of a
• 20:59
  Speaker 1: util person.
• 21:00
  Speaker 3: We learn everything, which is my bread and butter.
• 21:04
  Speaker 1: That's what I do. That's that's how I made it
• 21:07
  Speaker 1: in my career, was being a utility person.
• 21:09
  Speaker 3: There you go.
• 21:09
  Speaker 1: You know what else is good about that? That when
• 21:13
  Speaker 1: the time comes when the company looks down and they're like, well,
• 21:17
  Speaker 1: we got to make some changes. Where can we cut?
• 21:20
  Speaker 1: Usually they don't cut the people that do multiple things
• 21:24
  Speaker 1: my heart, No, No, it's usually the people that only
• 21:27
  Speaker 1: do one thing. So the more that you can learn
• 21:30
  Speaker 1: and you can do, and that means not just answering
• 21:33
  Speaker 1: the phones. That means run the equipment, that means edit audio,
• 21:36
  Speaker 1: that means be on the air. If that's what you
• 21:38
  Speaker 1: want to do, you know what I mean. If you
• 21:39
  Speaker 1: can do all those things, then you're valuable, you know.
• 21:42
  Speaker 1: And it doesn't say that the company doesn't care about you,
• 21:44
  Speaker 1: but it's a corporate company.
• 21:46
  Speaker 3: Yeah, exactly.
• 21:47
  Speaker 1: We have eight hundred and fifty radio stations Oh, yeah,
• 21:50
  Speaker 1: it's a lot. So basically for the past month you've
• 21:54
  Speaker 1: done it's been kind of minimal learning the phone screener
• 21:57
  Speaker 1: and stuff like that. But I'm going to start to
• 21:58
  Speaker 1: show you some other stuffs for audio and stuff like that.
• 22:02
  Speaker 1: Do you want to be on the air.
• 22:03
  Speaker 3: I don't know.
• 22:04
  Speaker 1: Were you on the air in Emerson?
• 22:06
  Speaker 3: I was, but it was my It was, you know,
• 22:08
  Speaker 3: live shream. I had maybe like five people listening. It
• 22:11
  Speaker 3: was never really I Also, I had somebody once tell
• 22:13
  Speaker 3: me that I didn't have a voice for radio, please
• 22:15
  Speaker 3: don't listen to kind of stuck with me. So I
• 22:18
  Speaker 3: don't know.
• 22:18
  Speaker 1: I'm mean, I don't I'm you. You sound fine to me.
• 22:22
  Speaker 3: Hey, that's good.
• 22:23
  Speaker 1: How about Riley? Riley had no interest in being on
• 22:26
  Speaker 1: the radio, and then she started. I forget how it started,
• 22:30
  Speaker 1: but oh, Lisa had to be out and she had
• 22:34
  Speaker 1: to cover Lisa's traffic and weather. Yeah, and she met
• 22:38
  Speaker 1: with the boss after and the boss goes, you know
• 22:39
  Speaker 1: when you said to me that you didn't think you
• 22:41
  Speaker 1: wanted to be on air, that you weren't good. He goes,
• 22:43
  Speaker 1: I think you were wrong about that. So you got
• 22:46
  Speaker 1: to have confidence in yourself. If it's something that you
• 22:49
  Speaker 1: don't have interest in. That's one thing. But if it's
• 22:51
  Speaker 1: your brain telling you I'm just not good enough, then
• 22:54
  Speaker 1: that's bullshit.
• 22:55
  Speaker 3: I think it's just because I don't know.
• 22:57
  Speaker 1: Well, you can learn, you know, you can learn. I
• 23:01
  Speaker 1: was never going to be on the air. I was
• 23:02
  Speaker 1: just like you. I didn't think I had a voice
• 23:04
  Speaker 1: for radio. I grew up in Boston. I had a
• 23:06
  Speaker 1: severe Boston accent, which would be good on the radio.
• 23:09
  Speaker 1: But at the time when I got in they kind
• 23:11
  Speaker 1: of made fun of me because I was like, yo,
• 23:13
  Speaker 1: with the car, you know, that's how I talked. Yeah,
• 23:17
  Speaker 1: it's like you know, but now it would be good,
• 23:19
  Speaker 1: but I work so hard to like get rid of
• 23:22
  Speaker 1: it when I talk on the air. The Boston accent.
• 23:24
  Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, because when I first started, there was a
• 23:26
  Speaker 1: guy on the radio who I really looked up to,
• 23:29
  Speaker 1: and he heard me talk. I did like a fake
• 23:30
  Speaker 1: read for him and he listened to it and he
• 23:32
  Speaker 1: was like this is awful, and I'm like, what do
• 23:34
  Speaker 1: you mean? And he goes, the Boston accent's just way
• 23:37
  Speaker 1: too heavy. You know, they're not going to sell you
• 23:39
  Speaker 1: on these commercials, and I'm like, okay. So I practiced
• 23:43
  Speaker 1: getting rid of it. So that's why I say my
• 23:45
  Speaker 1: rs now, But if you hear me talk with my friends,
• 23:48
  Speaker 1: I don't I go back into like Justin.
• 23:51
  Speaker 3: There you go.
• 23:52
  Speaker 1: It's kind of.
• 23:52
  Speaker 3: Weird, that's crazy. I have a couple of friends. I
• 23:54
  Speaker 3: don't have a Southern twang at all, like we talked about,
• 23:56
  Speaker 3: I have a couple friends out a little bit, yeah,
• 24:00
  Speaker 3: start here, just a little bit.
• 24:01
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 24:01
  Speaker 3: Would you ever want to just go full Boston accent
• 24:04
  Speaker 3: on the air?
• 24:05
  Speaker 1: It just feels it does come out sometimes when I
• 24:08
  Speaker 1: get very worked up on the air getting push Yeah,
• 24:10
  Speaker 1: people will leave talkbacks like oh I love when Justin's
• 24:14
  Speaker 1: Boston accent came. It comes out. That's funny. Okay. So
• 24:17
  Speaker 1: what do you think about the show so far?
• 24:19
  Speaker 3: I enjoy it. Yeah, I enjoy it. I'm excited. I
• 24:22
  Speaker 3: definitely like when we get topic times that I mean,
• 24:25
  Speaker 3: I'm only twenty two, everyone's here. I definitely enjoy some
• 24:28
  Speaker 3: of the topic times. I'm like, who's that that they
• 24:29
  Speaker 3: just said? Like I'm googling. I'm going okay, like, oh wait,
• 24:33
  Speaker 3: now I get that joke, Like okay.
• 24:34
  Speaker 1: Yeah, well yeah, you are on the younger.
• 24:36
  Speaker 3: Side, I know. So I'm kind of I'm catching up. Yeah,
• 24:39
  Speaker 3: I'm getting tuned in.
• 24:40
  Speaker 1: Yeah, well, because they can like Billy, obviously, Billy's older,
• 24:44

• 24:48
  Speaker 1: the jokes are going to fly right over your.
• 24:49
  Speaker 3: Head exactly, And well, I can promise some of the
• 24:52
  Speaker 3: jokes I make as a twenty two year old.
• 24:55
  Speaker 1: Maybe fly over our head. Are you gen Z? By
• 24:57
  Speaker 1: the way, I don't know.
• 24:59
  Speaker 3: I'm might be, but I really I'm not sure. I
• 25:02
  Speaker 3: think in my heart I'm definitely not.
• 25:04
  Speaker 1: So you're twenty two years old?
• 25:05
  Speaker 3: Twenty two?

  Speaker 1: Yeah, let's look it up.

• 25:17
  Speaker 1: Yeah?
• 25:17
  Speaker 3: Oh that has a nice ring to it.
• 25:19
  Speaker 1: But I did see a story this morning that said
• 25:21
  Speaker 1: that Generate gen Z is now the dumbest generation that
• 25:27
  Speaker 1: has a.
• 25:27
  Speaker 3: Really bad ring to it.
• 25:29
  Speaker 1: Yeah that.
• 25:31
  Speaker 3: Justin Did you just call me dumb?
• 25:32
  Speaker 1: No? No, no, no no, I just I saw this. I

• 25:39
  Speaker 3: to the new girl.
• 25:39
  Speaker 1: I was gonna follow it up with you are not

• 25:48
  Speaker 1: behind the scenes, and I want you to help out more,
• 25:50
  Speaker 1: which you will be too. Yeah, I'm keeping you a
• 25:52
  Speaker 1: little bit, a little bit out of time, you know. Yeah,
• 25:54
  Speaker 1: just a little bit at of time, and then we'll
• 25:56
  Speaker 1: you know, do more and more because Riley was my person. Yeah,
• 26:00
  Speaker 1: got pulled in there. So she's busy. She has to
• 26:02
  Speaker 1: run the equipment, she has to that's a whole job
• 26:05
  Speaker 1: in itself.
• 26:05
  Speaker 3: Those are also big shoes to fill. Good at what
• 26:07
  Speaker 3: she does.
• 26:08
  Speaker 1: Yeah, she is very good. She is very good. Yeah,
• 26:11
  Speaker 1: but she she came to me and she wanted to learn.
• 26:15
  Speaker 1: That's another misconception that I'd like to clear up publicly,
• 26:20
  Speaker 1: is that Riley came to me and asked me to
• 26:22
  Speaker 1: train her. I didn't go to Riley and say, hey, like,
• 26:25
  Speaker 1: I'm busy, right, Like, I'll put the effort in, but
• 26:27
  Speaker 1: I'm not going to chase you down and say, hey,
• 26:29

  Speaker 1: that job, and it's just all bullshit. That's just not
• 26:47
  Speaker 1: how it goes. You know, we train people. So I'll
• 26:49
  Speaker 1: give an example right now, Katie Riley's training you.
• 26:52
  Speaker 3: Yep.
• 26:53
  Speaker 1: So because Riley is going to have to be off,
• 26:55
  Speaker 1: she's going to take vacation time, so we need somebody
• 26:57
  Speaker 1: to fill in for her.
• 26:58
  Speaker 3: You know, I'm there.
• 27:00

• 38:43
  Speaker 3: several years, I was like, okay, like, we'll see if

  Speaker 3: He was it, and I was. I went back and

  Speaker 3: Who like who is this? And it was Halloween. Normally,
• 39:36
  Speaker 3: you know, if I get a DM from somebody I
• 39:37
  Speaker 3: don't know, I'm like, oh, like, you know whatever. I
• 39:40
  Speaker 3: don't really look at my dms, but this was it
• 39:42
  Speaker 3: was Halloween, and I was like, well, I gotta respond,
• 39:44
  Speaker 3: it's Halloween. You never know, like maybe this is Universe
• 39:47
  Speaker 3: telling me something.
• 39:48
  Speaker 1: Could be a pivot, a pivotal moment, could.
• 39:49
  Speaker 3: Be a pivotal moment, like you said, Like I said,
• 39:51
  Speaker 3: turns out I find out that he's in school at Williams.
• 39:54
  Speaker 3: I'm like, oh, I don't know, Like that seems a
• 39:56
  Speaker 3: little far away. So I didn't get my hopes up
• 39:59
  Speaker 3: or anything. And also, you know, I met him on Hinge.
• 40:01
  Speaker 3: I ended up just talking to him for an entire month,
• 40:03
  Speaker 3: getting know him more and more and just being more
• 40:06
  Speaker 3: and more fascinated and more and more just like, Wow,
• 40:09
  Speaker 3: this person, he's just he's a good person. He's a
• 40:13
  Speaker 3: good person, he's interesting, he's kind like. I enjoy the
• 40:17
  Speaker 3: way that he talks about things, in the way that
• 40:19
  Speaker 3: he sees the world, and all of this. I met
• 40:22
  Speaker 3: him for the first time, which was a crazy night
• 40:24
  Speaker 3: story for a different day. But I met him for
• 40:26
  Speaker 3: the first time, and I just like, I just knew.
• 40:28
  Speaker 3: I was like, man, like, I want him. I want
• 40:32
  Speaker 3: him to be memorable to my boyfriend.
• 40:33
  Speaker 1: So you were attracted to him physically, but then also
• 40:37
  Speaker 1: attracted to him and how he carried himself, his intelligence,
• 40:42
  Speaker 1: flip it all that.
• 40:43
  Speaker 3: Because it was via text, I didn't really have a
• 40:46
  Speaker 3: clear idea of what he looked like.
• 40:47
  Speaker 1: So that month, actually you were attracted to that first.
• 40:50
  Speaker 3: I was attracted just to the because I was like,
• 40:52
  Speaker 3: I'm not going to flirt with him. I've never I'm
• 40:54
  Speaker 3: a big like, which is why I also didn't like
• 40:55
  Speaker 3: that I have to meet you in person. I'm such
• 40:58
  Speaker 3: an in person person. That's why I'm like. Things worked
• 41:00
  Speaker 3: out with mccaben here is because I'm an in person.
• 41:03
  Speaker 3: I'm a people person, like I like being in there.
• 41:06
  Speaker 1: I don't the same way. Yeah, I'm the same way, right.
• 41:09
  Speaker 3: Yeah, So it was definitely and it I just really
• 41:13
  Speaker 3: really really liked talking to him, and then when I
• 41:16
  Speaker 3: finally met him in person, I was like solidified. I
• 41:19
  Speaker 3: was like, man, like this like it feels like a dream,
• 41:24
  Speaker 3: you know what I mean? Be together a little over
• 41:26
  Speaker 3: a month.
• 41:27
  Speaker 1: Oh, so it's new. It's very very so this is
• 41:30
  Speaker 1: last Halloween.
• 41:31
  Speaker 3: Yes, that's Halloween. So this is all very very new.
• 41:35
  Speaker 1: How's a long distance thing going? It's good. I mean, look,
• 41:38
  Speaker 1: absence makes the heart grow fonder, that's what they say.
• 41:40
  Speaker 3: I feel like, if the biggest issue we're having right
• 41:42
  Speaker 3: now is the fact that we just don't get to
• 41:44
  Speaker 3: physically see each other, that's a pretty decent.
• 41:47
  Speaker 1: Issued a graduate.
• 41:48
  Speaker 3: He graduates the end of the semester.
• 41:50
  Speaker 1: And what's his plan? Find him work in Boston?
• 41:54
  Speaker 3: I don't know. We've left it pretty we've left it
• 41:57
  Speaker 3: pretty open.
• 41:57
  Speaker 1: Where is he from? North andover? Okay, so he might
• 42:00
  Speaker 1: want us to He probably wants to stay local. His
• 42:03
  Speaker 1: family's hair.
• 42:04
  Speaker 3: Yeah right, it's up to him.
• 42:05
  Speaker 1: Yeah, Okay, North was a beautiful town. Yes, have you
• 42:08
  Speaker 1: been there?
• 42:09
  Speaker 3: I have, Okay, I got a little driving tour.
• 42:11
  Speaker 1: That's where I live. That's right now I live. I
• 42:13
  Speaker 1: live in Sale, New Hampshire. North End was like right
• 42:16
  Speaker 1: near the border. Ooh yeah, okay. Yeah. My friend Allan,
• 42:19
  Speaker 1: who's on the podcast Monday born and raised, lives in
• 42:21
  Speaker 1: North Andover no way. Yeah, true story. Yep. Yeah.
• 42:26
  Speaker 3: Well there you go in the morning.
• 42:27
  Speaker 1: Yeah all right, Katie, Well I think we covered it all. Yeah,
• 42:29
  Speaker 1: did we miss anything?
• 42:30
  Speaker 3: A lot of bases. Just what's your favorite hobby? Oh?
• 42:34
  Speaker 1: Mine? I love working out. Well, yeah, very much into fitness.
• 42:37
  Speaker 1: I if you asked me, you know, fifteen years ago,
• 42:41
  Speaker 1: I would not say that, Okay, but I had like
• 42:44
  Speaker 1: a lot of health things I got. I was really
• 42:46
  Speaker 1: big and fat, you know whatever, and then I ended
• 42:50
  Speaker 1: up losing weight going to the gym, and now I'm
• 42:52
  Speaker 1: obsessed with it. Yeah. I love working out. I love fitness.
• 42:55
  Speaker 1: I love doing things like ice baths and sauna and
• 42:58
  Speaker 1: anything really fit and it's related I'm into. So yeah,
• 43:02
  Speaker 1: I would say that's my number one hobby. Good for endorphins,
• 43:05
  Speaker 1: really good for endorphins, yeah, right, which actually is funny
• 43:08
  Speaker 1: you say that. That definitely plays a part in it,
• 43:11
  Speaker 1: because obviously I've struggled struggle with addiction in life, and
• 43:14
  Speaker 1: you know, an addiction, you chase the high, right, so
• 43:19
  Speaker 1: then when you stop doing that, you still want to
• 43:22
  Speaker 1: chase a high. And that's the endorphins in working out,
• 43:26
  Speaker 1: and I find it in ice pass because that gives
• 43:28
  Speaker 1: me endorphins, and the sauna gives me endorphins. So I
• 43:31
  Speaker 1: more so chasing positive things.
• 43:34
  Speaker 3: Yes, good thing to chase.
• 43:36
  Speaker 1: Yes, any other questions.
• 43:38
  Speaker 3: I don't know. I didn't prepare a list.
