Are you too lazy to come up with your own show content? I mean, some of these services are pretty good, but most are not. You mean to tell me every day you are fine with doing a show that comes out of somebody else's mind? They took time to come up with ideas to present to you. Why don't you come up with some ideas yourself? Here's a question for you: Are show prep services for lazy DJs? A poll question, a crank call idea, some copy and paste entertainment news, a stupid poll question that is such a generic offering to your listeners. Granted, some show prep services crank out some good idea starters, but you can too. We just have to take time to think every day without distractions. So, to do your whole show around show prep that somebody else created besides you is the sign of a true amateur-sounding show. You should take pride in developing your own content every day. We want to hear what's coming out of your mind today. This is what makes you unique. This is why when you listen to these shows on the radio there is nothing there. So generic and so obvious. No risk-taking intellectually. People think pushing the envelope is to show how vulgar you can be or mean-spirited you can be on the radio and get away with it. Hiding behind a character and not presenting to the people the real you. Show prep and putting thought into your content distinguish exceptional radio performers from the mediocre ones. Show prep is all around us.
Come up with your own opinions about what you see, hear, or observe every day, and people will find you interesting to listen to. Let me know your thoughts on this topic.
