The Interview #3

The interview so far is my favorite part of capstone. For my interview I chose Scarsdale’s number one DJ Jimmy Fink. It was a fun interview and sight visit, I asked him mostly personal questions, but I got a lot of information.  I learned about the studio itself and  about him as a DJ. I learned how in college he got a job as a DJ and how that started his career, he said tech changed a lot in the studio and made his job easier.

Jimmy says he likes his job a lot and it is not that hard, but he said he would not recommend the job though. He did tell me he is never live he records in advance so he can edit his recording and make it the best it can be like I heard him record him for the radio and it will stream in June.

It was so fun and he had amazing stories about his life, he said what’s good about the studio is theres only 12 people that work there unlike others, others have up to 50.

He also said how they play a lot new songs and do no repeat, but the CD’s are now on computers due to the technology and they have on CD play but thats to upload them to the computer. Jimmy also told me about segways and sweeper, which are 5 second pauses between songs.  They use them when people hear their radio they would always know what station they were listening to. Segways are just the song comes right after the other with no sweeper. He said that interviews are not at the studio. They are on the phone or they go to the person. Other than that my interview was the best I could imagine. I loved it and I hope to have more memories like this.
