This is an I-Heart podcast.

Guaranteed human.

It's that time.

Lock and load.

The Michael Vary Show is on the air.

Yeah. is on the air So after our morning show finished today at 11 o'clock, our routine is then we cut production for our stations around the country.

And that's where we say, you know, if you listen to the station you're listening to, during the afternoon before our show, you'll hear me say,

Jasmine Crockett is a campaign launch, is a product launch, not a campaign kickoff coming up next on the Michael Barry show. Well, we do those sorts of things for, you know, we do one that goes out to all the stations because we're doing the same show that's going out to everybody.

But we do custom spots.

So if we do a custom spot for Lubbock and we do a custom spot for Nashville that says,

you know, this is the times we're on the air and listen to the show and these sorts of things.

And we cut all sorts of things that make a bonus podcasts, weekend podcasts.

We do a lot of things outside the radio show. I record a video podcast. Now, just little

clips of me talking about this or that. And we started posting those to YouTube. And I post them

to Facebook and to Twitter and to Instagram.

And what it really is is just an opportunity to, look, what I do is share my thoughts.

Whether people like it or not, I share my thoughts.

And that starts conversations between other people and sometimes in reaction to me.

And that's what I get to do for a living. I don't ever lose track of the fact that that's a really cool way to get to do,

a really cool thing to get to do for a living because most people do it without getting

paid.

Most talk radio listeners do what I do just to a smaller audience.
