Whether you currently work in radio now or like many of us, worked in radio for many years, you must know that in order to be a true radio pro you MUST drink coffee at the radio station! Can somebody shout Amen?! If you've worked in radio for years but didn't drink coffee you're a semi-pro. At my first part-time radio job I got paid minimum wage. To make up for it I brewed & drank as much coffee as I could since the coffee urn, coffee and filters were provided by the station. Radio professionalism & drinking coffee are inseparable.

Coffee is crap.

That's why you'll NEVER work in radio.

Yeah, okay. :
I think you're too high on caffeine, man...
...with a huge enough frozen stockpile of those Thanksgiving/Christmastime creamers (Pumpkin Spice, Gingerbread, etc.) and sweetener (honey was my personal choice before going veggie) to make the glop worth swallowing ;D ...Prais said:
I take my coffee black, does that make me a better or worse candidate for a job in radio?
...at least you're a better candidate for a news position ;-) ...almaniac27 said:
Of course, with coffee comes coffee breath! I remember working on some of the microphones at our college radio station after they had been in use for awhile. Those foam windscreens really smelled bad!
I am not much of a coffee drinker. To me, the "promise" (aroma) is somehow always a lot better than the "reality" (taste).

Production guys' recipe for work: Drink coffee, Dr. Pepper and on Friday's when the load is heavy, supplement with at least three Kit Kat, Snickers or Mars bars after lunch. Chocolate, sugar and caffeine are required prior to producing commercials for raceways, bars and concerts. BTW, we once had a maintenance guy at WGR-WGRQ Buffalo who secretly re-cycled the coffee grinds/grounds. Heinous in, heinous out.
Good greif!! what a dumb topic. I t does not fix what is wrong with radio. Everyone hurry!!!! switch to decaf!!

The Owner at one of the stations I use to work at had a special plastic bucket we HAD to dump our grounds into. No filter paper, just grounds. He took it home for his nightcrawlers (worms for non fishing people) on his lakeside ranch. Of course this was the subject of many on air bits and jokes. He did have a sence of humor, and even would let you fish from his boat as long as we did not leave any beer cans in or around his lake.
Good to the last drop!
Don't be latte for your airshift.

Latte is for wimps. Coffee that's been in the Mr. Coffee pot so long that it's nearly become part of the container yet you pour it into a styrofoam cup & drink it anyway shows that you're a real radio veteran pro.
Do they still make Sanka?
