Diving into Denver

I don't think I could have found a better way to dive into the culture and community of a new city than by working in radio. While I do have the days that I have to sit in the office, I'm thankful that the majority of my time at work involves being out community. Radio is not just about playing music or having entertaining shows, but instead supporting the community of the city it serves.

One event I was able to take a part in last week was the 3rd Annual Sam's Club Golf Tournament. Our morning show hosts BJ and Jamie were part of the tournament, which involved a silent auction to raise money for Children's Hospital Colorado. It was great to work with the people of Sam's Club and see how radio stations can work with their partners to support the community.

By far the most interesting work experience I have had as of yet would be helping out Alice 105.9 at the Denver Pride Parade. The station was represented with BJ and Jamie riding in a firetruck as some of our Alice staff marched alongside. This event wasn't as much work as it was fun! This was the best, most out there way for me to take part in the Denver community and have a bit of fun with our audience and listeners as they cheered us along the parade route.

Moving across the country to a city you've never even visited before can be one of the hardest things to do, but I'm so happy my job is more than just sitting behind a desk all day and instead one that lets me get out into the city and interact with the people of Denver.
