The first Friday of October is World College Radio Day! I, like many others, got started at my college radio station. WXUT-Toledo at the University of Toledo. Our “official” fomat was Alternative Rock, although they allowed us to take our show and make it anything we wanted to. Therefore, I played the music I had from home on CDs.

My shift was Friday mornings 8-10. I will tell you, being in college I didn’t always want to get out of bed at 7:15. I did it though because I knew it was part of the career path I wanted to follow. I had my fun times there and it led to bigger things as well. I was able to land my internship at a cluster there in Toledo to fulfill my credits. I was able to gain very valuable experience that I still use to this day.
