Oh yeah, yeah, it's been a while. 28 00:01:46.359 --> 00:01:49.680 It's been a while and it was time to do 29 00:01:49.719 --> 00:01:53.319 it again. Now right off the bat, you're one of 30 00:01:53.319 --> 00:01:59.239 the producers. They're a good four at times five producers 31 00:01:59.359 --> 00:02:05.920 of Nightside. Tell people what your responsibilities are to this 32 00:02:06.040 --> 00:02:07.040 show with Dan Ray. 33 00:02:08.479 --> 00:02:14.479 Okay, yeah, so I actually fill in for Marita who 34 00:02:14.639 --> 00:02:19.439 Marita McKinnon lightning as she's referred to. Uh, I did 35 00:02:19.479 --> 00:02:21.800 fill in for her, and uh when I fill in, 36 00:02:22.120 --> 00:02:25.280 we're actually responsible for you know, we have to for 37 00:02:26.120 --> 00:02:29.159 guests at the top for the eight o'clock hour, which 38 00:02:29.159 --> 00:02:31.360 can be challenging, I'll tell you, because you know, you 39 00:02:31.439 --> 00:02:34.400 got to find four topics that you know that you 40 00:02:34.439 --> 00:02:37.719 deem interesting for the listeners, and then we have to 41 00:02:37.759 --> 00:02:40.479 go fetch you know, four people that can support that 42 00:02:40.599 --> 00:02:44.080 topic and obviously do it properly, and they have to 43 00:02:44.080 --> 00:02:46.719 be experts, and so you know, it can be challenging. 44 00:02:48.280 --> 00:02:51.360 Then you know, once we find our four guests, if 45 00:02:51.360 --> 00:02:53.439 we have those nails down, and it takes it takes 46 00:02:53.479 --> 00:02:55.000 a while. I know it takes me. I'm not sure 47 00:02:55.039 --> 00:02:57.680 how Maria handles it, but it takes me a while 48 00:02:57.719 --> 00:03:00.280 to find people because you know, if you if you 49 00:03:00.319 --> 00:03:03.000 think of one person, you're like, oh, they'd be great, 50 00:03:03.439 --> 00:03:05.919 you contact them and they're like, oh, I can't do it, 51 00:03:06.000 --> 00:03:08.280 and then you're like, oh, shoot, now I need somebody else, 52 00:03:08.360 --> 00:03:10.639 so you got to go fetch someone else. And so 53 00:03:10.719 --> 00:03:14.319 it's it's fun. I enjoy it, but it can be challenging. 54 00:03:15.520 --> 00:03:18.280 And then you know, sometimes you just can't. You love 55 00:03:18.280 --> 00:03:21.319 a topic, but you just can't find a guest that 56 00:03:21.560 --> 00:03:25.400 you know is great to cover the topic. So you 57 00:03:25.439 --> 00:03:27.479 can't just okay, well we've got to move on. Got 58 00:03:27.479 --> 00:03:30.039 to find a different topic, and well, you know, it's 59 00:03:30.080 --> 00:03:32.960 it's a little bit of a challenge, but it's certainly fun. 60 00:03:33.560 --> 00:03:36.000 Get to meet all sorts of new people, so to speak, 61 00:03:36.039 --> 00:03:38.120 because you get to you know, talk to new people. 62 00:03:38.680 --> 00:03:40.840 You know, you email people and they're like, oh, yeah, 63 00:03:40.879 --> 00:03:43.560 I used to you know being you know, used to 64 00:03:43.560 --> 00:03:46.000 work in radio, or sometimes they used to you know, 65 00:03:46.080 --> 00:03:49.759 be in the Boston area they're now in California, or yeah, 66 00:03:49.840 --> 00:03:53.319 so it's kind of fun. Then after you nail down 67 00:03:53.400 --> 00:03:55.840 all the guests for the evening, then you know what 68 00:03:55.879 --> 00:03:58.120 I usually do is I'll write up a little blurb 69 00:03:59.599 --> 00:04:02.120 to look at sheet sheet for the host because you know, 70 00:04:02.240 --> 00:04:04.240 I'm booking the stuff, They're not really going to know 71 00:04:04.840 --> 00:04:08.919 much about the topic possibly or who the guest is. 72 00:04:09.680 --> 00:04:12.520 So you know that's it's a lot of paperwork like that. 73 00:04:13.719 --> 00:04:17.079 Then after you get all that paperwork settled, then you're 74 00:04:17.079 --> 00:04:19.879 going to go and advertise it on you know, social media. 75 00:04:20.560 --> 00:04:25.240 We do Facebook. Actually, Marita and Dan for the most 76 00:04:25.240 --> 00:04:28.839 part do Facebook live every day at four thirty, So 77 00:04:28.879 --> 00:04:30.720 if you ever want to tune that in, you know, 78 00:04:30.759 --> 00:04:33.240 you can go on to Facebook via night Side Web 79 00:04:33.879 --> 00:04:38.319 Facebook page and you see Dan and Marita they promote 80 00:04:38.319 --> 00:04:41.279 the show and there's a lot of moving parts. 81 00:04:42.399 --> 00:04:44.079 Did you promote yourself today? 82 00:04:45.600 --> 00:04:48.680 I did not. I was actually off today, Marita, I 83 00:04:48.680 --> 00:04:54.079 guess did the night Side hit at four thirty.

Now back to Dan Ray. 156 00:09:08.720 --> 00:09:10.320 Mine from the Window World. 157 00:09:10.200 --> 00:09:14.759 Night Side Studios on WBZ News Radio. Karen blu Semmi 158 00:09:15.000 --> 00:09:17.840 is my guest, one of the producers of night Side, 159 00:09:18.600 --> 00:09:22.200 and we had a woman on hold named Karen and 160 00:09:22.279 --> 00:09:26.399 she hung up. So, Karen, if there was a reason 161 00:09:26.519 --> 00:09:29.879 that you hung up, I understand, But if it was 162 00:09:29.919 --> 00:09:32.960 an accident or you got cold feet, called back in, 163 00:09:34.360 --> 00:09:37.440 you would be the first caller that Karen will talk 164 00:09:38.320 --> 00:09:42.039 talk to. And Karen, I asked her before the break 165 00:09:42.960 --> 00:09:46.600 a guest that you coordinated, you arranged them to be 166 00:09:46.720 --> 00:09:51.080 on with Dan Ray, give me a couple of your favorites. 167 00:09:52.120 --> 00:09:57.759 No, boy, it's hard to pick favorites. Well, I mean 168 00:09:57.879 --> 00:10:00.519 we have we haven't array usually. I mean I definitely 169 00:10:00.600 --> 00:10:04.679 try to look for, you know, newsworthy or you know, 170 00:10:04.759 --> 00:10:08.080 things that are different. Obviously Dan has to be comfortable 171 00:10:08.120 --> 00:10:11.399 with the topic as well, and you know, so sometimes 172 00:10:11.440 --> 00:10:15.679 we coordinate that way, and we tried for the eight 173 00:10:15.679 --> 00:10:18.879 o'clock hour. We try not to get too like a 174 00:10:18.960 --> 00:10:22.559 heavy topic because it can you can't cover it in 175 00:10:22.600 --> 00:10:25.360 ten minutes. So sometimes it's a topic that you know, 176 00:10:25.399 --> 00:10:28.279 we definitely want to carry over into another hour. So 177 00:10:29.399 --> 00:10:32.919 but yeah, I mean we've had definitely an array of 178 00:10:32.919 --> 00:10:37.639 different people. I kind of enjoyed. There was a gentleman, 179 00:10:37.840 --> 00:10:42.320 you know, after the Maui fires the Banyan tree. It 180 00:10:42.440 --> 00:10:45.960 was like a miracle that this you know, one hundred 181 00:10:45.960 --> 00:10:50.679 and fifty year old banyan tree survived, and he was 182 00:10:50.919 --> 00:10:54.159 He's an arborist and he's in charge of, you know, 183 00:10:54.200 --> 00:10:56.440 trying to bring this tree back, and it is coming 184 00:10:56.480 --> 00:10:59.639 back fully, which is kind of giving the island hope, 185 00:10:59.799 --> 00:11:03.519 you know. So that was that was nice. I found 186 00:11:03.559 --> 00:11:06.039 him by chance because you know, I was like, I 187 00:11:06.039 --> 00:11:07.840 got to get an arborist, and you know who's going 188 00:11:07.879 --> 00:11:10.480 to answer the phone? What I call? You know, I mean, 189 00:11:10.960 --> 00:11:13.639 it's not there are these experts. We don't have them 190 00:11:13.679 --> 00:11:15.960 on well I don't. I don't have a big long 191 00:11:16.039 --> 00:11:19.919 file of people that I can go to, I mean, 192 00:11:19.919 --> 00:11:22.360 because the topics are always changing. So well, now I 193 00:11:22.399 --> 00:11:26.240 have an arborist in Maui, but well, you know, it 194 00:11:26.320 --> 00:11:30.679 takes a while to build. You know that I'm. 195 00:11:30.559 --> 00:11:33.799 Guessing because I do it. But I've been doing it 196 00:11:33.840 --> 00:11:37.279 for four decades. I have no fear of making a 197 00:11:37.440 --> 00:11:42.840 cold call, as as it's termed meaning you doubt somebody 198 00:11:42.960 --> 00:11:45.919 you've never spoken to before. You want them to do 199 00:11:46.000 --> 00:11:49.320 something like talking the radio in front of thirty eight states, 200 00:11:50.240 --> 00:11:53.440 and you've got to try and immediately introduce yourself to them, 201 00:11:53.840 --> 00:11:56.440 make them feel comfortable with the idea of being on 202 00:11:56.480 --> 00:12:01.360 the radio, and I'm assuming cold calls no big deal 203 00:12:01.399 --> 00:12:01.679 for you. 204 00:12:02.879 --> 00:12:07.519 Well, yeah, I mean, yeah, no, I have no fear 205 00:12:07.559 --> 00:12:10.200 of calling people asking them if they want to join us. 206 00:12:10.240 --> 00:12:13.240 And actually it's great because yeah, I mean, busy radio 207 00:12:13.320 --> 00:12:16.519 speaks for itself. Because I mean, like you said, thirty 208 00:12:16.519 --> 00:12:19.200 eight states, we're streaming on the web where I heart. 209 00:12:19.360 --> 00:12:21.000 You know, it's cute wide. 210 00:12:22.399 --> 00:12:26.679 Well, you've got a phone caller. I'm sure she doesn't 211 00:12:26.720 --> 00:12:29.000 want to talk to me. She's called to talk to you. 212 00:12:29.759 --> 00:12:34.840 She lives in my community of Newton, Suzanne, Suzanne, welcome to. 213 00:12:36.840 --> 00:12:39.960 An honor to talk to you and your guests. I 214 00:12:40.039 --> 00:12:44.879 have a suggestion for a light side someday in the future. 215 00:12:45.600 --> 00:12:46.399 And who would that be? 216 00:12:47.799 --> 00:12:52.159 Well, he is Daved. He was chief of psychiatry at 217 00:12:52.279 --> 00:12:58.440 Best General. He has stepped out, doctor Roses, but he 218 00:12:59.480 --> 00:13:04.080 is experimenting and had quite a bit of success with 219 00:13:04.320 --> 00:13:07.840 giving the magic mushrooms for depression. 220 00:13:09.120 --> 00:13:13.399 All right, have you heard of this psychiatrist? 221 00:13:14.679 --> 00:13:17.679 But Rosenbaum's sounds familiar. I don't know why. 222 00:13:19.559 --> 00:13:22.919 He's a psychiatry at Last General for many years. Yeah, 223 00:13:23.320 --> 00:13:29.679 and he's and he's very well known, and he now 224 00:13:29.720 --> 00:13:33.600 has stepped out as chief and he's working from home 225 00:13:33.840 --> 00:13:38.759 much and his secretary takes boys fails from me and 226 00:13:38.960 --> 00:13:43.159 other people, and he understands to go to Dantucket once 227 00:13:43.240 --> 00:13:49.039 a year. And he's really Yale educated med school school. 228 00:13:50.320 --> 00:13:56.840 So I've just thought I've never taken them, but very 229 00:13:56.919 --> 00:14:07.639 controlled justice for depression and people apparently stand up feel. 230 00:14:05.559 --> 00:14:08.679 Thank you for the suggestion.
