Almost Famous
Okay, I haven't written anything about this because I was trying not to get my hopes up. A friend of mine has his own radio show, and for those of you who know me, I have always dreamed of becoming a "cartoon character" or work in commercials as far as voices go. I asked Chad how he got into radio, and if it was anything like trying to get into commercials and such. He went above and beyond ANYTHING I ever imagined and encouraged me to send him some examples. He liked what he heard and sent me some scripts for his podcasts so he could get a feel for my voice and also give me practice reading scripts. I have been so insecure in this whole thing and I've recorded myself about a million times and just felt retarded. I can't tell you how much I've struggled with even getting up enough nerve to sit down and put the headset on! I'm not a big risk-taker. I have my comfort zone, and even though I've always wanted to do something with my voice, actually recording myself and sending it to someone was FAR outside it. I know Heavenly Father lent me the strength to even try this. So, with that said, I'd like to invite everyone to go to www.chadhasty.com, click on podcasts, and listen to his shows. The ones dated today you'll hear my voice introducing the show. I, personally, love the show, and it is fun hearing someone that I was close to in high school on the radio. It is talk radio, but not the boring kind. It is actually entertaining, and Dan and I now set aside 4-6 pm on Saturdays (5-7 pm for people in Central Time) so we can hear his show live (kfyo.com streams it for us). Sorry, Chad, still not getting up willingly to listen to your morning show, even though it is great!! ;) (6-9 am Central on 790 KFYO) Also, Chad, I'd like to publicly thank you for all you've done and for the countless support you've given me. I know I just have one blip so far, and honestly, if that's all I ever get, you've still made one of my dreams come true. Thank you, thank you, thank you! Like I said, I never imagined you'd go so such greath lengths for someone you haven't seen in years. You're an awesome guy!! I'd also like to thank Dan for his love, support, and encouragement. He has helped me gain courage, he's taken the kids, he's given me ideas, and he's believed in me. So, with that, I hope y'all enjoy my 10 seconds of fame as much as I did!! So, go to www.chadhasty.com, click on podcasts, and the ones dated today are introduced by me. Feel free to listen to the rest of his shows, too! They are all very entertaining!

Thanks for being confident enough to tell us about it. That's amazing - congratulations. It sounded great.
Way to go, Girlie! It's been fun listening to you psych yourself up to it and then voila!, you're on the air! Sure proud of you.
