At last nights show at UB, I had the chance to sit and watch from the audience. Believe it or not, it is rare that we as radio guys/gals sit and watch the show. There usually is some sort of responsibility that we have that keeps us backstage. It may be introducing winners to the stars or perhaps "schmoozing" clients or other distinguished guests.
