Looking For Opportunity

[Jack Preston]

Hello! My name is Jack Preston and I am new to the world of radio. I am looking to volunteer (part-time) for a U.S.-based radio station. A station that plays pop and rock from the 1950's through 1990's or one that plays jazz music (both classic and contemporary). I would also like to find a station that is wholesome, family-friendly and doesn't use a lot of foul language or crude humor.

I'd like to start out by helping an existing show, if possible. I have skills in social media management and basic graphic and web design that could be helpful. But ultimately I would like to have my own weekly show (at some point). Of course, I don't want to rush things. I prefer to take my time, if at all possible.

I have a good computer, high-speed internet, a solid microphone and headphone set and basic understanding of programs like Audacity. The one thing I must admit is that I don't have extra money for additional equipment or software because I am currently unemployed. Hopefully there's a way to work around that.

If you would like to talk with me about a potential opportunity, please let me know. Thanks!

Thanks for replying to my message, but I don't think I'm ready to jump into having my own show. I'd rather work with someone who is established first before I go out on my own.
