FUFFLE! How did I never know that you work at KEXP!? Between you, Moose, and kb, Hubski has encompassed three of my 5 favorite radio stations across the country (Radio UTD and WFMU being the other two). I'm a little intimidated, those are stations that my roommate and I look up to.

I've got some production experience as well, but am the opposite of you. I'm not very talented at that side of things. Do you DJ or guest host anything on top of all that? I will have to strongly consider you're offer, that would be a dream. And I have an interview for a job in Sumner sometime next week...

Nope, I don't touch the hosting side of things- there's a whole intern program just for DJ assistants, and it's the most competitive intern position. People wait years to be able to guest DJ, although patience does usually pay off- just a matter of force of will. Anyhow, I have no interest in being that exposed- nice and safe behind the scenes, and I still get to watch/mess around with awesome in-studios and the like.

Wait, Sumner, WA? You gonna be anywhere near Seattle for that? If so, could grab a drink or something.

DJ...assistants? What kind of a magical world is that? Everybody wants to hear their voice on the radio, that's for sure.

Yep, Sumner, WA! It's part of a rotational program. Supposed to have a phone interview next week and if that goes well there will be on-site interviews at the end of the month. Could be there, could be elsewhere, but that was my first geographic choice.
