Mo had to go out of town to see his younger brother graduate from high school.  That means we were going to have four shows of guest hosts.  From listening to 1530 Homer, I knew that things were not the same when the regular host is not around.  This was also true for the behind the scenes work that goes down on the show.  With Mo out, I had no crazy publicity stunts to do, just basic show production.  However, since I was still new this was a blessing in disguise.  I had an opportunity to really practice running the boards, using the advertising software, and screening calls more efficiently.  Kevin, a producer for Jim Scott's morning show on 700 WLW, showed me how to do air-checks.  Air-checks involve going into the recorded material from that day and locating live commercials that the talent does on-air.  The portion then must be sent to the advertiser so they can give feedback as to whether what they're hearing is acceptable or needs reworking.  I was honored to be given such responsibility in my first couple of days and Kevin said he'd let me do them every day.  Overall, these days were not the most action packed, but I did learn a lot about how the Clear Channel stations work and ways I could make the show better.
