Step One to making a Morning Show: Meeting your Co-Host

Okay, you guys all know that I have recently become the Co-Host of a radio morning show. You also knew that I had no clue who my co-host was. Last Thursday, we met up at the local Starbucks for some quality coffee and a pleasant meeting. Now, I was a little worried of what my co-host would be like. There are two formulas to good morning shows, either the co-hosts are so different that they foil one another and it makes some good entertainment, or the hosts could be very similar and they have a ton of stuff to talk about. If my co-host was just kinda different from me, it could spell ruin for this currently non-existent show. I lucked out, we were very similar. Allow me to elaborate on how much alike we are. When we first applied to college we wanted to be music majors, eventually we both decided to become broadcast journalism majors and enjoyed it so much we never wanted to return to music as a major. We both went through punk phases in high school and now we are both at the point where we realize that pop music today isn't so bad. I have a dream of someday owning a coffee shop and she currently works at a coffee shop and loves it. There is only one problem I foresee in our future, when she asked me what kind of music I am into now, I told her how I was kinda into Disney artists, like Hilary Duff. She replied with, "I really haven't listened to Hilary Duff much, but I like Lindsey Lohan." As most of you know, any good Hilary Duff fan loathes Lindsey Lohan. I guess she doesn't realize how insanely crazy I am about Hilary. When this information comes out, I hope it doesn't ruin our relationship. 'Til that happens, Later Days.
