That's Ms. Assistant Producer to You, Pal!

Can't get over this one. The Universe moves in amazing ways!

A couple of months ago, I wrote a fan letter to my favorite late-night radio talk show. I've been listening to this national show for over a decade 'cuz it is fun! It deals with topics ranging from government conspiracies to space aliens. Surprisingly,the person who answered my letter was the man who gave me my very first job in the radio business 18 years ago. He recognized my name and wondered if it was the same person. It turns out this man is now vice president of the radio network that produces this show. We emailed for a while and I told him the ONLY way I'd ever return to commercial radio is if I could work for this show.

Well, last week, he offered me a part time job, as ASSISTANT PRODUCER for this show, the most-listened-to late night radio show in the country, if not the entire world!!! It's only 10 hours a week for now, but it is a foot in the door...What are the odds???
