[Mpls] Air America Minnesota's Gag Rule Peter McLaughlin's Campaign Manager Darin Brota

[Jim Bernstein]

EVA - Unless things have changed dramatically, radio producers do not
need to have a lot of technical production background. Some stations
required a 3rd class license which is not hard to get but most of the
bigger stations do not even ask that of the producers. Producers
generally secure guests, work with talent on format and topics, run
interference with station management, work with technical support for
effects, bumper music, etc., sometimes line up sponsors and work on
promotions, always look for opportunities to boost ratings and improve
the show.

Everyone has to start somewhere.  I don't know this young man but if
he's got some smarts, is willing to listen and learn, and wants to do
this kind of work, he can learn it and be good at it.

Darin Brota is a good guy - and Peter McLaughlin made
a smart hire when he hired him.  But for
Janet Robert to hire him for a radio producer job is
just goofy - wouldn't she want to hire someone who had
actually done production before?
