Change of Pace

My work the past couple of shifts has felt a little different, primarily because my shifts have come at different times of the day. On Sunday, the show was moved up to the afternoon, due to the Habs game in the evening. My workload included helping preview the Habs/Bruins game, and also recording, cutting clips and posting Matthew's interview with Cliff Floyd, formerly of the Montreal Expos. My clips were played throughout Monday on various shows, so I had to make sure the audio was at a good level, that the clips were concise enough and that I took the best clips from the interview. Matthew also posted it on a website he's launching soon called exposnation.com . The site isn't active yet, but he showed me what it will look like. As well, Matthew also invited me to a trip to Toronto he's organizing in the summer. That may lead to me submitting an article to TSN.ca if I go along on the trip. He would be writing for the Gazette and would allow me to submit to TSN which is an exciting opportunity. Last night, was a late show, from around 11:30 to 1:30 and it was more of a continuation to the Habs postgame show. I learned that whenever the Habs lose, almost no prep work is required. The callers easily fill up segments for you. One aspect I did enjoy was being able to interact with the callers. Matthew Ross wasn't in on Tuesday, so I got to interact with callers with Moe Khan and it was a new challenge. You have to remain respectful to callers' opinions, but if you think they're wrong, you have to make a strong case for why you think you're right. It gives you an idea of how truly obsessed Habs fans are. I had prepared topics and information last night, but of course, callers dominated most of the show, so understandably, I had to save my topics for a future date.
