Have You Tried This?

We live in a go-go world filled with endless daily tasks and meetings. Here are 5 things PD’s probably don’t have time to do but should do anyway! Try one or two, you might be surprised with the outcome.

• Spend a day off site and critically listen to your station—you would be amazed what you might hear or in some cases not hear. (Be sure to turn the phone off)
  
  
• Conduct a programming and promotion brainstorming session with anyone in the radio station willing to come and participate—you never know who is going to have a GREAT idea.
  
  
• Listen to 10 brand new songs—you never know you might hear the next big thing!
  
  
• Answer the studio request lines and listen to what the listeners have to say—you might learn something interesting.
  
  
• Do something fun and maybe a little goofy with your staff. Nerf football anyone?
