As you know, I'm a volunteer Public Radio broadcaster on Denver's jazz89 KUVO. I've been on-air since January 2003, as a substitute host, filling in for the regular presenters of shows, whenever they were on vacation, sick, or just busy.

Vacancies to be the regular host of a show are rare, but a few months ago, two shows opened up. I was potentially a candidate for either time-slot: Friday nights (9pm-12am), or Saturday afternoons (3-5pm).

Yesterday, I found out that I didn't get the gig hosting Friday nights (my preferred timeslot, if only because you can be a bit more experimental with your music late at night). I was pretty bummed. I'd worked hard to trying to differentiate my show on Fridays, over the other weekday evening shows.

Today, however, I had a call from the station offering me the Saturday afternoon show. I gladly accepted. It's a timeslot that's dear to my heart, because it was this timeslot in which I did my first ever radio show. It was pointed out to me that this slot has a much bigger audience, than the Friday one, and so needs a strong presenter.

Anyway, I just thought I'd share the good news with you all. I've waited a long time to get my own show, working all sorts of hours for the station, often at very short notice.

Thanks to all of you who have offered me support and/or encouragement with my radio career over the past couple of years.
