6towns Radio - 29.06.15

I am an aspiring music journalist, so therefore I decided that perhaps it would be a good idea to get some music-related work experience. I rang up a few places; 6towns radio being one. I was excited, all the while simultaneously incredibly anxious. So this morning I woke up at 5am as there was no way that I was going to be late. (There is no chance  that I am going to create a bad first impression!) This resulted in me ending up in Burslem almost an hour early. After waiting around and getting to know the area at 7am, it was time. I was greeted with a friendly welcome from Dan; the breakfast show host from 8am-10am. Once I had taken a seat downstairs we were shortly accompanied by Ruby, who was also here to do work experience; this made me feel a lot more at ease. We had a small introductory chat about what the hosts do at 6towns and about the building ect... Then we saw Dan introduce the breakfast show. Later on, when me and Ruby began to gain some more confidence and felt a bit more at ease, Dan played the game 'Guess the Year'. If you don't already know what that is; it is where the host picks 5 songs from a specific year and the listener has to contact the radio station, guessing the year. For instance, in my case; I picked the year of 1989. Dan picked 5 songs and I persisted that The Stone Roses should be among the 5. Therefore 3 of The Stone Roses songs were unusually played back to back, as I requested. Dan played - 'I Wanna Be Adored', 'Fools Gold' and 'This Is The One'. Instead of playing only 5 songs, I'm not sure if Dan noticed but he actually ended up playing 6! Oops! Surprisingly, I actually went on air! I don't know whether it was the warm environment or the relaxed atmosphere, but something made me oddly feel really comfortable. I didn't really know what to expect in all honesty, but I definitely did not expect to go on air on my first day! I didn't mind it though, because I felt overwhelmingly comfortable. I guess now, I'm just intrigued and excited to see what the rest of the week ahead of me is going to consist of.
