THAT'S THAT

To Everyone Who (in the past and present) supports The Hideout,
Thank you. Thank you for listening, interacting, and being a part of what I look at as the best part of my life so far. This is not a goodbye, but an update on what is going and my thoughts on what may be happening in the future.

*What happened to The Hideout
El Jefe took a gig on the “Giant Show” on project 9-6-1 in Atlanta. I am happy for him but at the same time it was the first nail in the current Hideout’s coffin. After a couple weeks of being not doing a show because of college football I received a call from CK the PD of WJFK telling me that with the irregularity of schedule and the massive changes in the show that he will no longer carry The Hideout on WJFK. I completely understand the logic and respect him and his decision. CK is the one that gave us a chance and supported the show in everyway possible BUT I do think the show could and would have been fine if given a shot to grow. CK is one of the best PDs in radio for talent and has told me that this isn’t necessarily the end for me at WJFK also that we could look to do something this spring. In my estimation I wouldn’t count on this but it is something I am going to pursue for however long it stays on the table. That is the story for what happened as of late in The Hideout.

*What is and what could be
I am currently a program director in Tampa Bay (The work load is a big factor on why the Hideout wasn’t as focused as it should have been). It’s a good job that my resume really likes. As far as what the future holds for me, It’s really up in the air but I do have a lot of possibilities that could be very entertaining and I hope you give me a shot when that takes hold. In the meantime I will be putting web based shows together to get my aggressions out. As each of these come together I will post them around for the people who would like to have them.

Again thank you for being with me up to this point and as fun as it has been, it is about to get a lot more interesting.

5000,
Dubs
