Days Twenty and Twenty-one (Hours 95 - 105)

Monday March 23, 2015
I arrived at the early show at 4:45 am. I worked the cameras, phones, and recordings. We also had a bigger audience this day so I was running back and forth trying to make them comfortable.

Wednesday March 25, 2015
I arrived for the early at 4:45 am. Adler wasn't there this day because he was having nose surgery so we did a segment on him. Another intern and I got to be on air for a minute talking about how none of us knew Adler was going to have surgery today.
Towards the end of the regular show, I messed up the recording. That was frustrating.
We also had Ron Collier, a comedian in the Birmingham area, as a guest speaker. It was great to hear his story and laugh.

Days Eighteen and Nineteen (Hours 85 - 95)

March 9, 2015

This day I arrived at the studio at 4:45 a.m. and started the early show with Speedy, Helmsey, and Greg. After more interns arrived, I worked with Adler on cameras. Mainly, I helped switch the cameras from person to person depending on who's talking. I also helped with graphics by giving the audience a picture of what the guys are talking about on the show. I learned what keys to press in order for the picture to show up through the Heartland Network and what keys worked the graphics on the bottom of the screen. For example, their Facebook and Twitter accounts and their website.

I didn't do much this day. I arrived later than normal. I didn't get the chance to work the early show like I normally do, but I still made it through the normal six to ten show. I worked the cameras, phones, and the recordings.

Days Sixteen and Seventeen ( Hours 75 - 85)

March 2, 2015

This day was Dr. Seuss Day at the studio so, of course, Bubba brought out the Dr. Seuss hat. I arrived at 4:45 am for the early show. During the 8 o'clock hour, we had a local kindergarten class come to the studio so Rick could read the Green Eggs and Ham book live on the radio. The students were able to sit in the audience. During this time, I helped Adler work the cameras and the graphics for the Heartland Network.

March 4, 2015

I arrived at the studio at 4:45 am for the early show and was able to spend some time talking on air about my Garmin Connect watch and Helmey's Fitbit. I was able to share a little bit of my experience with my watch and how it motivates me to keep moving daily.
I also recorded and helped Adler with graphics and cameras.

Day Fifteen (Hours 70 - 75)

February 23, 2014 

This day was  pretty awesome! I arrived at 4:45 am and helped work the early show. I recorded the show and phone screened. I also helped Speedy get stories together for the day. We had a guest caller at the 8 o'clock hour. Our guest caller was Donnie Osmond. He called to talk about his new greatest hits album. He also mentioned working with Michael Jackson when he was younger.
During his hour, I worked behind the scenes to help Adler prepare pictures to display of Donnie Osmond for the televised audience to see.
