Got some feedback that you guys want coaching tips...next week I will discuss in depth the prep process and how you start your show.

Hey everyone, this is the second part of my interview with Drew Garabo on 102-5 The Bone in Tampa.  If you are a fan of Drew, this is great for you!  Drew tells of when he was in Orlando and had the unmistakable reputation of being an a**hole.  Drew also talks about getting fired...something all radio people can relate to.

Hey everyone...thanks for checking out The Talent Show.

This show I talk about a special offer I have for fellow podcast hosts and radio shows as a way to get to know the services I offer.  

A free show review - I will listen to the first ten minutes of your show and offer you 2-3 actionable items so you can see what coaching is all about.  I have had alot of questions about coaching and want you to experience first-hand what this is all about.

If you are interested...email me at [email protected]

Give me a couple weeks, but I will get back to you with feedback...this is fun!!!

Thanks again for listening!

This episode features the first part of my interview with top rated afternoon talk show host, Drew Garabo.  Drew's show is on afternoons at 102-5 The Bone in Tampa, FL. His show is smart, funny, often times irreverant and while the target is men, this show has a fan base in all demos.

Highlights from this show include:

5:20 – Drew talks about how his show is more universal now that it is in afternoon drive.

8:00 – Drew discusses the day he learned that the Bone was changing and he’d be doing drive home.

9:35 – Drew talks about how he started in radio at rollins college.

12:30 – Drew discusses the “duality” of working at Holiday Inn while hosting a weekend show.

14:21 – Drew does a killer imitation of Ed Tyll, former host at Real Radio 104.1

15:36 – Drew talks about his time working with Jim Philips at Real Radio 104.1

18:20 – Drew talks about being “in the zone” when on-air.
