Fastest Week Ever

Fastest week ever. Best week ever. Most salacious week ever. Okay, so the last two may be a stretch. But, this so is a blast.

As an intern, one might imagine, Midwest Communications isn’t exactly giving me the keys to the company vehicle. Often times, they don’t even tell interns where the bathroom is.

But, this is a far cry from the ordinary.

I’ve been involved different places and observed my fair-share of broadcasters and few are as interesting to interact with as Maino and Nick. Working on the Maino and Nick Show is a lot like barrel jumping Niagara Falls. I can’t get this kind of experience anywhere else in the world.

And by the end of it, I might be dead.

Truthfully though, so far, this is a phenomenal experience. Both Maino and Nick have been great and very encouraging and inviting. I feel like in the short time that I’ve been here, I’ve already become part of the family. And Nick has been quite open to different ideas for projects and enterprise pieces that I would like to produce during my time at the station.

The main project surrounds immersing myself in local high school sports. As many of you know, I’m currently trying to track down former local high school athletes for a “Where Are They Now?” series (If you know of any former standout student athletes who’ve moved on to compete at the collegiate level, let us know! Email Nick Vitrano: nick.vitrano@1440wnfl.com).

If I can get the ball rolling, I hope to produce a different interview with a former Northeastern Wisconsin athlete every few days and post them here.
