I am working in the WGAM the GAME studio again today for a few hours. I am just getting started with my internship at the local sports-radio station. I have 25 hours under my belt with about 95 hours to go to successfully complete my internship requirement of 120 hours.
To me, this internship is the opportunity I have been waiting for. It's a chance to pursue my goal of becoming a sportscaster. At the station, I work on a show that is by far one of the greatest in New England sports radio; namely, "The Hometeam" with Mike Mutnansky and Justin Bastinelli. With P.J. Hout producing the show; clearly, I am learning from the best. I hope this opportunity will expand beyond my internship.
In the studio, the environment is very comfortable and easygoing, but sports are obviously taken very seriously. I do what station producers ask me to do and take-in everything I can with open arms. It is amazing to watch the natural ability and talent that these guys have. I cannot say enough about their personalities and knowledge of sports; they put these skills on demonstration every time they're on the air.
As I've watched how the professionals prepare for their show and conduct themselves, I've tried to come up with my own methods and systems. Still, if I ever get the chance to be on air or do what these guys do, I can only hope to be half as good.
