By way of Jaime:
A dear friend of mine has just entered a contest called �The Search for the Next Public Radio Star.�� I realize this is a bit of an oxymoron, but suffice it to say that there is definitely a subculture (of which I am a member) in which working on public radio makes you a star.� The contest involves an online version of a �demo tape� to display the entrant�s humor, professionalism, and on-air talent.� Jenny�s entry takes us to the rodeo, for one of the most dangerous contests this side of the neighborhood jungle gym.� Please take a listen and vote big for Jenny Weddel, America�s Next Public Radio Star:
The danger. The cowboys. The glitter. We all have an idea of what a rodeo entails. But there�s a little-known rodeo event filled with chaos, tears, and mud on the face.
