Job Overview

THE most unusual, unique and full-on BLAST of a talk radio station is looking for our next star. myTalk 107.1 is a Marconi, Crystal, Gracie-winning pop-culture and entertainment talk station in Minneapolis/St. Paul owned by Hubbard Radio. Our founding afternoon show – Lori & Julia are retiring after 22 years (!) so it’s time for what’s next.

 

DO:
Be an original - not looking for typical “radio” bits or talent.
Be authentic – no puking, no radio cliches, no narrow stereotypes, no lazy, routine-loving hosts.
Be obsessive in your knowledge and interest in pop culture and entertainment.
Be truly interested in the welfare of your listeners and the Twin Cities. We do public service – a lot of it.
Be a good citizen – if you have a massive ego, anger management problems, or treat people like poorly – you need not apply.
DON’T:
Tell yourself this is a “typical” radio job. It is not. It’s way more fun and more work.
Be a jerk. Seriously – see above. We have a firm no jerks/tools/bullies policy. Period.
Be a “punch in/punch out” and live your life kind of host. BRING your life TO the airwaves – this is NOT an “air shift”- it’s a HUMOR-BASED TALK SHOW. Did I write that in enough caps? lol
Rely on prep services, old-style radio conventions/crutches or a 1990’s (or 80’s, or 00’s, or 2010’s…) sensibility.

 

It’s like podcasting – but better.
It’s like radio – but more funnier and more different-er.
