As of late, I just received the opportunity to help out with Oklahoma Sports & Fitness.  That new opportunity, plus continuing my freelancing gig with Running Times and working at OK Runner in Norman is keeping me busy, but happy.  Hopefully, the relationships with both magazines continue to develop.

This summer has been good.  I was able to work two jobs this summer where I have learned quite a bit and really enjoyed myself.

While working at KGOU, I’ve been able to learn more about both the news side and the production aspects of radio.  I’ve been reading calendars and tagging promos for NPR and PRI radio programs, as well as our own shows.  Over the past two months, I have begun producing promos for programs as well as writing album reviews.

Over at Running Times Magazine, I have had the opportunity to talk to runners who I admire and respect.  Here’s some of the work I have done there:

Evan Jager eager to take on Worlds

Catching up with James Carney

Christin Wurth-Thomas’ great leap forward

Amy Yoder Begley thinking beyond Nationals

Checking in with Abdi

I’ve also had a large role in revamping the training section of the Running Times website.  I’m now taking on a new roll as I am beginning to work on the Ask the Experts section.  So I really enjoyed my summer working for these two organizations and I will be staying on with both KGOU and Running Times Magazine throughout the fall.  After that, it’s anybody’s guess.

Thanks.
