KPTZ Community Radio is an all-volunteer operation, and I was there at the beginning—volunteering to do the morning news every Wednesday. It was a crazy-ambitious idea: from the outset we tried to have a five-to-eight-minute original newscast every week day. What this meant for me, as it turned out, was pretty much spending all day every Tuesday researching and writing the next morning's newscast. At the beginning, we would read the newscast live on the air at 8 a.m., recording it, and then edit out all of our flubs for the 9 a.m. repeat. This is one of my earliest newscasts, from June 22, 2011, with DJ Peter Guerrero introducing me, and then following with the Community Calendar, for those of you who want to know what we get up to in our little town:
