The adventures of Almigo

Thanks to a mate of mine at work sharing a great link, I've been having stupid amounts of fun searching for radio stations right around the globe (literally) and checking out what's playing currently on some of the most remote places to build a radio transmitter. One of my favorites so far is tucked away in the northmost settlement of the world, where just over 1000 people get to enjoy one hell of a Fallout-esque soundtrack coming from somewhere in town. Welcome to Radio Garden .

As part of our ongoing Flashback series this month here at Almigo's Adventures, today we cringingly go back to a time where we didn't know who we were actually interviewing.. Expert on texas rodeos.

June here is Flashback month and today we revisit my helpful guide to make your radio demo actually a worthwhile  exercise .. Make your demo tape really sing. Put your best stuff on first. If you make it to the interview stage, wear a tie. Be prepared to travel. Bribe the program director. Remember that you might not get a reply back for a while… I learnt all that helpful stuff on how to land a job in radio 10 years ago as a just-finished-being-pimply teenager in radio school, ready to take the world on. The course had finished, I bought a stack of blank tapes (yeah CD burning hadn’t really taken off by then), borrowed the family mobile phone in case anyone called with a red hot offer and then proceeded to flood every station within a 1000km radius with tapes, resumes and even Kit Kat’s to try and land that all important first gig.
