This is one of my three can’t miss podcasts per week. It’s really a radio show out of Lincoln, Nebraska that has been running 22+ years. They are looking for a producer to help out. My favorite job requirement is: “..has a sense of humor,..”
Hello Folks,
A producer is needed to fill a vacancy on the “Exploring Unexplained Phenomena” (“E.U.P.”) radio program staff. Have you been a long-time listener and think you’d like to hang out with some interesting people? Have you recently found the program and think that assisting the “E.U.P.” program would be fun and stimulating?
What is the “Exploring Unexplained Phenomena” radio program?
The “E.U.P.” radio program has been on-air since October of 1984, making it one of the world’s longest-running paranormal talk radio programs. Each week we call guests from around the world and share their interest, research and passion with the listening audience via the KZUM 89.3 FM signal, and world-wide over www.kzum.org . Additionally the radio program is archived and available free of charge within 24 hours of the broadcast at www.friends-of-EUP.mypodcasts.net .
The program is hosted by Scott H. Colborn.
The producers and staff are coordinated by Cathy Behrns, who also co-hosts periodically during the month.
What does a producer do?
A producer for the “E.U.P.” radio program:
initiates the phone call or receives the phone call from people who appear via the telephone during segments of the program,
facilitates greeting an in-studio guest and making sure they are in the broadcast studio, ready to do their segment at the appointed time,
makes the phone call to the guest using a furnished pre-paid phone calling card, and brings the guest on-air,
screens and handles the listener calls during the program,
assists in keeping the producer/staff three-ring book in proper order, and doing the paperwork each week with regard to the pre-paid calling cards, and filing the guest contact info in the book,
has input in suggesting future guests and program content to the host,
can elect to join the host on-air during the program and interact with the guest (not required but optional if the producer wishes to do so),
has a sense of humor,
has an interest in the mysteries of our time,
is interested in being part of a team of unique and talented people,
is or will become a member of KZUM 89.3 FM Lincoln, NE (minimum dues are $25 per year),
has transportation and can get to KZUM’s studios, located in the Terminal Building, 941 “O” St, Suite 1025,
is responsible and says what they are going to do and then does what they say.
Am I there at the KZUM studio each week?
No. Probably once a month; maybe twice a month. This is a volunteer position. The producers are coordinated by Cathy Behrns, and a sign-up list is used to put one’s name down in advance for the next 3 months of Saturday mornings.
As a round-robin team, theoretically each producer might end up producing one program a month. As summer vacation schedules take place, or because of illness or inability to produce the program on a particular date, a producer might be called upon to do several dates per month.
The “show must go on,” even with inclement weather. If you are not able to get to the KZUM broadcast studio’s (rain, snow, sun, etc), or can’t keep your commitments, then please do not sign up for this position. During Nebraska football Saturdays, parking is at a premium and you should be prepared to find parking in advance, or, to arrange to be dropped off and picked up, or, pay the premium parking fee.
How do I know what to do as a producer?
Don’t worry – we’ll train you and also offer additional training through KZUM 89.3 FM, Lincoln, NE. Perhaps this will be a spring-board towards hosting your own radio program ! If you want to interact with the “E.U.P.” radio program guest and the host live on-air – you can, but no one will force you to do so. Should you wish to work behind the scenes and not go on-air, you may. At this time we are in need of one or two additional producers for the program.
How do I apply for the position of producer?
Contact Cathy Behrns, cabehrns@yahoo.com . Please include a day-time and evening phone number, and/or a cell phone number, along with your e-mail address, and indicate in a paragraph or less why you want to be a producer for the “E.U.P.” radio program. Send that information via e-mail to Cathy Behrns, cabehrns@yahoo.com , and we’ll be in touch !
Thanks in advance for listening to the “Exploring Unexplained Phenomena” radio program, and for your support in all ways !
All the best.
Walk in Beauty, Peace. Scott
