Mutations Media

Spending more time with Social Media than you do preparing your show. Social Media is addictive. There is actually a fair amount of research to back up that claim. Addiction is loosely defined as an activity that interferes with normal life. Addiction also comes with fun acronyms like FOMA which is the Fear Of Missing […]

Another day another tragedy! It is the day after another horrific attack on unsuspecting people celebrating their independence in Nice, France. Checking social media, I’m seeing a trickle of comments about the incident in France. Orlando happened a month ago and American’s were on fire! Is one tragedy worse than the other? Are these tragedies […]

Habits must die! Today I attempt to give you examples of why habits must go away and the tragedy of not examining them on a regular basis. We are in a business, behind the microphone, of repeating the same things over and over and over and over and over again. A Program Director, if you’re […]

The number two answer was even more revealing. Turns out my on-mic friends—and likely you if you’re not a friend yet—need […]

Today’s topic is assumption. If I show you a picture of the ocean, I assume that you know that the ocean is water and that you know that the picture I’m showing you is a picture of the ocean. I know you’ve seen it before and, because you have a picture, you know what is […]
