Want to be on the show? Leave us a voicemail at (919) 213-0456. We’ll ask you to answer two questions:

• What’s a word or phrase that only someone from your profession would be likely to know and what does it mean?
• What’s a specific story you tell your friends that happened on the job? It could be funny, sad, anxiety-making, pride-inducing or otherwise.

We can’t respond to every message, but we do listen to all of them! We’ll follow up if it's a good fit.
