Dan, you are always insightful, informative and entertaining. Today you just flat-out cracked me up! Thanks for the laugh-out-loud radio definitions!
Here's another definition--
"International Radio Creative & Production Summit: A yearly opportunity for learning and growth through incredible guest speakers and the encouragement of fellow attendees."
As someone who has always been rather insecure about my own abilities, I was so thankful for the positive attitude of everyone I met at the Summit. This created a very encouraging environment and I returned home with new ideas, new friendships and a renewed zeal to do better work.
In short, the Summit has become an important part of my personal growth and something I now look forward to each year.
Thank you, Dan!
@ Sandy:
Thanks. If you look to the first series in that posting, you'll see that much of it was written by a radio person who wishes to remain anonymous (and employed).
I added my own twists to it, but the original idea (inspired by Ambrose Bierce) was his.
Please feel free to add your own....
@ Mark:
Thanks for the kind words, Mark. It's awfully hard to describe the The International Radio Creative & Production Summit for someone who's never attended.
I doubt anyone could have summed up the Traffic role any better.
