Mary's Experience at WGN Radio
My experience at WGN Radio today was great. I got to shadow Beth Swierk who is the producer for the John Williams Show. This was cool because I got to meet the real "King John Williams." I got to see how she worked on the show, answered fan calls, worked with commercial breaks and a lot more. I also shadowed her intern who was putting together podcasts of the show. I was able to talk with him for a while about how he got started. After that, I went into Beth's office where I talked with her and John Williams about how to get started in a radio career! Great experience!
