Last Radio Show
Yesterday was my last radio show. It was very emotional. To tell the truth, I don't think graduating and actually leaving here had actually hit me until the show. But then it all came to me. My last show. Wow. At five o'clock the rest of the cast did their little tribute to my co-host, Tom, and me. Varun, as awkward and goofy as he is, said some of the kindest words, "You look at great teams, and they always have a great coach to lead them. I feel like the past two years, I've had two great coaches (Me and Tom)." Steve said that I was an individual, which from Steve is about as high praise as you can get (He hates when people are "sheep"). Jon praised my judgment and discretion. Without me he thought the show would have been kicked off the air long ago. When they were all finished my lips were quivering and my voice breaking just a touch. It's hard to do a radio show when you can't talk. We cut to commercial so Tom and I could compose ourselves. That night at the Sports Department awards banquet, I couldn't keep the smile off my face as we laughed about all the good times of the past year and more. When it got time for my award and the little speech that accompanied it, again I wasn't sure how I'd be able to go on. Four years of radio...and I won't do it again. No more platform. No reason to do goofy radio dramas (the finale of which should be on the podcast by the end of the week). No two hour bullshit session each week. It's just a bit sad, you know? I'm gonna miss it.
