Radiocoach

“I was doing a stand-up comedy show, and there was a lady that laughed so hard she passed away. The mortician had to force her lips closed because she died laughing, and she still had a slight smile on her face.”

“New Media is created almost daily, and yes Artificial Intelligence and tech are closing in on us, but it will never, in my opinion, be able to duplicate human emotion. It can recreate our sounds, but not our hearts.”

“My mother was a hard worker, and she wanted me to be the first in my family to be a college graduate. My mother believed that with an education, you could have the opportunity to get a job that you love and are passionate about.”

“I was told in my ear that everyone could see me. The spotlight was on all of us on stage, unfortunately, that day, wearing a white, hippie-like, see-through skirt was the wrong thing to wear, especially since I wasn’t wearing any underwear.”

“I collect matches (they don’t make too many anymore) and concert tickets (they don’t make many of them anymore either).”

” Music is the soundtrack to every moment in my life whether it’s in the background or front and center. My phone is my connection to the world…social media, the news, my work, etc.”

 “All knowing, he can read the radio research tea leaves.”

“I believe you continue to elevate and maintain your relationships as well as zeroing in on your skill set of bridging the gap of the traditional format of promotion/marketing with the digital format that influences the narrative of how artists and creators are promoted today.

“I got a call from Sheila Eldridge who had an idea for an all-women’s talk show with music. It was right up my alley.”

“One of my air personalities found out he was going to be fired, therefore he opened upthe board in the on-air studio and urinated in it.  He blew the tubes in the board, and itleft an odor for over 3 days.”

“I’m now on Newark Public Radio WBGO (Jazz 88.3)/Newark Nj/New York and they’ve syndicated my show “Favorite Things With Pat Prescott. It recently debuted on Clark University’s WCLK (Jazz 91.9)/Atlanta.”

It’s the best of times, and worst of times. I like to focus on the good, which in this case is that you can literally create your OWN audience, brand, etc. with today’s technology. I do follow several good YouTubers and podcasts by folks who are mostly untrained broadcasters, but who are phenomenal communicators.”

“I am a video game junkie! It is my release after a stressful day. Just give me my controller and I’m in my happy place.”

“If you choose broadcasting as a career, it’s a marathon not a race. Keep your mind open to new ideas because our industry evolves each day.”

“I was at a new radio gig, and I was still trying to get acclimated to the studio board and I aired an entire conversation with a listener by accident.”
