Okay so I go out to the mall, for my daily java break, then beat a path back here to the Wolf’s Den in anticipation of some gal from Sun Valley that said she absolutely would apply for an on air job here at KDXB.
So I get here only to find a email saying this ain’t the kind of job for her or some such.
Which is fine, after all finding the right gal or gals for this job is not easy. Considering this ain’t Nashville, and even remembering the past of years gone by, of a renegade proudly renegade media firm of ours that has been here in this valley since 1974 , owned and operated by the same people for that same time period. Back then, there was not a Internet, nor Craigs List, and damn well no Explore Talent. We’d put a notice up at the Polish Palace in Hazzard(Hagerman) and it wasn’t unusual for 20 gals to apply. Even coming to the house.
Of course I’m mindful of the atrocities and abuse amongst other things that take place in this nation, something the Knytes are trying to cure. But damn Sam, what’s the big deal, you show up at the Wolf’s Den, we take a look, the applicant fills out paperwork, and in about 4 weeks we start training. In the bigger studio. In my opinion , no big right? Guess it is for some.
I always lean towards the gals that are already busy with a husband, and have at least one offspring. Reason married and with a kid means some measure of stability, and the other, both of us knows there a line that is not crossed over.
I have heard things like, well something hinky might happen to me in that duplex, well something might happen in a gall darn office/studio too. Shute a normal radio studio, is a 5 x5 room, totally soundproofed and usually no one besides the announcer (me) and the co-host is in there. If there was any chance of anything like a feel it up party, it’d be more likely to happen in a studio.
Our style of radio rests between the timeless styles of WolfMan Jack and Howard Stern. While not as aggressive as Stern’s, with a bit of Hazzard County and Hee Haw thrown in. I have yet had a complaint registered of someone getting sexually abused or even close. Most often what we do is strictly comedy bits for the show with a bit of shock factor mixed in, but never where someone’s safety or virtue was threatened.
Now dig this, and whether it happens or not remains to be seen, but the most traffic I’ve been getting is coming from up near Boise way. Even one from our dreaded MHI area. Yet the response from the locals of Twinky Flatts here is near zero.
But in closing, if someone does not want to apply, just pick up their damn cell phone, give me a call we have two phone numbers 736-9653 or my cell, 212-9653 and if one wants to know, the last 4 of our numbers spells out WOLF purtty easy to remember, but a courtesy call is nice.
Most of the traffic today has been really wyld. Seems after a snow storm like we had of which Dixie snagged 4, it gets a tad dryer and folks think its kuel to drive idiotic again.
But in closing, I want to tell all those applying for the jobs we have running on Craigs List, get serious about it or don’t inquire, if you set a time for an interview , at least call if you decide our job is not for you.
Ah the days of innocence.
