Agree To Disagree!
When you go on air with a group of people it's only natural for you to want to sound knowledgeable. So when a co-host or guest takes a point right out of your mouth you can often feel a bit frustrated. It's actually kind of funny seeing how the content wasn't discovered by you in the first place (usually). Today I'm going to talk about taking something you know and being flexible with your knowledge. The best radio isn't always the hosts talking about things they agree on. In fact, most of the higher rating radio shows have hosts that can get quite controversial on a variety of topics. People listen to radio because they like to feel like they are apart of a conversation. If you have a host that takes one side of the argument and the viewer disagree's, then that viewer is most likely either going to switch channels or tune out. You need to have the discussion take both sides of the argument for viewers of all kinds to stay happy. Sometimes you will have to go on-air taking a side that you don't actually agree on. It can be challenging but I promise you that somewhere out there a viewer is also taking that side. On radio you sometimes need to let your own beliefs stay put and explore the other side of things.
