Metalhead Ned WGRD Memories: Intern Days
If you didn't get the message yet, I, Metalhead Ned am leaving WGRD!
It's crazy to think I have been here for 7 years! So in my last week, I want to share some of my most favorite memories of working at this great radio station.
I'll never forget when I first walked into this radio station to see if I could get an internship. I really had no idea what I was getting myself into honestly, I just wanted to get my foot in the door.
During this time in 2007, or was it 2006? I don't REALLY remember...there was a couple guys here you might remember some of these names...like Spud, JT, Yoder, Lynae, Punky, Deb, Wendy (we'll get to her eventually) and of course Free Beer & Hot Wings. I was basically just some punk kid wanting to go to concerts and learn the ins and outs of the business, and obviously wanted to get on air!
I officially became, Intern Ned of the WGRD Promotions Department.
Little did I know, that my adventure was only about to begin to what ultimately become what I became today. Except I used to be kind of a stud with a hint of some muscle definition was I was in intern...what the hell happened?!?!
Getting the first taste as an intern here at a radio station, was just the first step I took into a larger world.
