Hey guys, it’s your main man, Ryan MacIntyre!
For those of you that don’t know, I am doing a job-shadowing internship at 630 CHED this summer, twice a week!
My very first day was on Tuesday and I wanted to tell you all about it: the kinds of people I met, and the things I got to do!
It started out with my Educational Facilitator, Amanda; my FMS tutor, Emily; and I, signing in at the front desk. We got name tags that said “Special Visitor,” which make me laugh because I felt pretty special that day in general. Syd Smith met us downstairs and took us up to his office to wait for the Sport News guys to come meet us. Syd was funny and a totally cool guy, he talked with me about the Oilers players and the new season (no surprise I love to talk about the Oilers!), and we also talked about WWE, turns out he’s a fan too! We also talked about the CFL draft for the Edmonton Eskimos, and the Stanley cup playoffs!
We met up with Morley Scott and Dave Campbell, both sports dudes for 630 CHED and I instantly hit it off with both of them. Thos guys are awesome to work with and they have hilarious senses of humour like me I’m so pumped to be learning from two guys with so much experience with Edmonton sports teams! I can’t wait for the next time we all work together!
Some awesome highlights from the day:
– meeting Bob Stauffer
– meeting Bryan Hall (Hallsy)
– meeting Bob Layton
– meeting Brenden Ullrich
– meeting Ryan Jesperson’s producer, Tricia Kindleman
– marking sound clips from Morley’s interview with Ed Hervey (manager of the Esks!)
– researching CFL draft picks and making predictions
– interviewing Morley Scott and Dave Campbell on their work experience, favourite teams and players, and thoughts on current sports news
I had an awesome first day of my job-shadow, the people at 630 CHED are my biggest heroes and I can’t wait to see them all again next week! Follow them on Twitter, they post great stuff all the time.
See you guys next week! Keep cool!
