Dissecting Radio Jargon

I have spent a lot of time listening to talk radio. Some people would say wasting my time. Those people are right or they were until now. I have finally found something productive to do. Alright, productive is too strong of a word. I did something. I have successfully dissected radio jargon into statements that make sense. They do not make sense. They are description of phrases that probably do not need descriptions. Those people I mentioned above are still right and now I just gave them more ammo. One day, they will think being lazy is a good thing.

Radio Callers

Long time listener – I wish you were my friend

I love your show – I wish I could convert your show into alcohol and drink it

First time caller – I hate your take, but otherwise think you are great

You are great – I have a demented view of the world because a radio host is my hero

Radio Hosts

Fresh take – I am the first one with this opinion that I know of and my ego is about to grow because of this even though there is a 90% chance I am wrong

Breaking News – My producer told me I have to say this

I have a great guest – the guest is my friend and I want to make her/him feel special

Thank you for coming on – If the guest didn’t show up she/he would have been trashed on local radio because this is local radio and it’s the only job the host can get or the person is politically charged and what is the fancy term for it … pompous dinkus
