Once upon a time, I began my broadcast journalism career on my college’s campus radio station.

Yes, I’m aware that probably no one listened — maybe ten people max during the day — and as an underclassman, I invariably got stuck with the graveyard shift from 11PM-6AM, so I couldn’t even count on my roommates to listen since they were probably partying, sleeping, or trying to score during those times — not necessarily in that order!

Back then, I was far from what anyone would think of as “confident” — I loathed any kind of public speaking or presentations in front my classmates; however, I loved to do comedy bits on the air. I was always writing up jokes and whatnot in my spare time, aspiring to be like Howard Stern or even George Carlin back in the day.
