I got a new job today! My boss from the bar called me and told me that the morning show host at the radio station gave her notice and they were looking for someone new. My background is in Radio/TV, so she thought of me immediately and told me to go talk to the owner of the station. He is a friend of mine anyway, so I just basically asked him when he wants me to start. His eyes lit up and said "Tomorrow!"

I work M-F from 8am-10am as the little on-air honey of Rubi 92.5 FM. I will post a link to the site because it can be listened to from anywhere on the internet. So hey you guys can listen to my show!! Rubi 92.5

It's been awhile since I have been on the radio though, so I am a little nervous....Wish me luck!!!

Thanks you guys! It seems we are working out some kinks with the live feed but I do know that it will be up and running real soon.

Mike, we are an hour ahead of Eastern time. Dominican Republic doesn't do Daylight Savings time, so when you guys put your clocks back or ahead, we stay the same. Does that make sense??

I just got done doing my first show. Basically today I had to learn how to use all the equipment and computers, get my techie bones working again and all that fun stuff. One thing I don't have a problem with is talking (and those of you who met me will vouch for that!!)

Thanks again for the well wishes!

Congrats Brooke- that should be right up your alley.

I have to say though, you are going to have to be in studio by 8am each morning???? WOW...big lifestyle change for you, eh?

Wow, Congrats Brooke! What are those folks in the DR going to make of all of your 'eh's?

I'll try to give it a listen. (I can't always get streaming radio feed on the computer at work.)
