Strippers. Now THERE'S a subject that'll grab the attention of most testosterone driven members of your talk show audience. And use it as part of a sports take? All the better. "Imaging friendly" promo fodder? Probably. But when you give listeners a slice of the show rather than a circumcised fragment or two, it encapsulates what listeners might hear when they tune in to listen long form. Even short attention span junkies just might lend an ear to this type of presentation

I was sitting around over the summer went down a rabbit hole of 90's commercials and decided to spoof one... So why not introduce a super-soaker filled with cat pee!

SiriusXM Imaging Highlights - September 2019 All Produced by Denzil Lacey www.denzillacey.com www.siriusxm.com All content remains copyright of SiriusXM/Pandora

Students are back in class, and this was written, voiced and produced by students who are just starting their 2nd year in our post-secondary radio program. I just can't wait to hear what they be producing by the time they graduate!

The content's dated but the dynamic still works. Although it's not a "hot take" it spotlights the talent of a sports talk dude who can take a non related sports story and MAKE IT into a sports story. Sorry, no hot take snippets to put into an imaging friendly production piece. But it does give the fringe sports fan (there's that word again) reason to stick with the show--along with the sports fans that get it on that level

Also getting some hits lately in the Archives is this production demo from 2003 interview subject, Joe Meinecke while at WKLH in Milwaukee. (Still there last we heard!) Extraordinary work. Joe shared his imaging philosophy and more in the interview here: https://rapmag.com/a/112-03/sep03/2350-r-a-p-interview-joe-meinecke

How 'bout a sports talk radio take that talks smack on--SPORTS TALK RADIO. I doubt if this would be utilized as "imagingly correct" subject matter. But, when you present it in it's entirety, the content's just as irreverent and edgy as any of the wizz-bang presentations your competitors are doing

Here's another promo from the Archives that's been getting quite a few plays this past month. Some of the excellent work that came from Glenn Miller while at WKDF back in 1990.

The unpredictability of most personalities are a great help to keep me listening. When ya don't know what to expect, the tendency to hang around for the next gem lends itself to longer times tuned in. So when the sports talk dude goes off the rails on a non sports topic, ya scrap it for more imaging friendly promo content, right? Maybe that's what works for you. But my best successes were with WHOLE bits like this-totally out of left field (if they have 'em across the pond)
