Don Anthony, the man behind the highly-regarded Morning Show Boot Camp, has announced a similar event aimed at talk radio pros – and music personalities looking to segue into spoken-word radio. This is great news for the format. Anthony’s willingness to jump in provides a much needed demonstration of confidence in talk radio’s future. What’s more, Talk Show Boot Camp could prove a source of real professional development — something that’s been missing in recent years as budget tightening has gutted convention budgets, and left many PDs too busy to devote the necessary time to up-and-coming talent.
Here’s Don’s official announcement. Hope to see you there…
Don Anthony, host of Morning Show Boot Camp, announced this month the launch of its first-ever Talk Show Boot Camp (TSBC). Anthony explained, “We’ve been asked often to add more spoken-word related sessions to our MSBC agenda, however, given the makeup and content of our attendee’s shows, I felt it would be more productive and fairer to both groups to create a separate event. There’s also a number of music-based talent interested in making a transition to spoken-word. TSBC would better serve this need as well.” Talk Show Boot Camp is set for November 13 & 14 at the Crowne Plaza Ravinia in Atlanta. To Register or more details go to http://www.talkshowbootcamp.com
