In fact, speaking of cosmic coincidences, it turns out I already have a history with my new morning show. Jon Carter, one of the hosts, also used to do the morning show for Z-93, which was my classic rock show of choice back in high school before the station went country. Familiar voices can be nice sometimes.
I actually met Carter a few years ago, though I didn't know it at the time. I was standing in line outside The Depot waiting to get into the Steve Winwood concert with elBreto and The Other Josh when these two guys asked me if I wanted a free t-shirt. I said yes, because you know, free t-shirt. Then this other guy in line asked if I wanted to get a picture with the selfless souls who were out clothing the naked. I said OK.
Later I learned one of the t-shirt guys was Carter.
That's right, kids: radio doesn't suck.

PS: About six months later I was wearing the free shirt at a ward Scripture Study activity one Sunday night when Elder David Bednar of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles showed up. He didn't say anything, but I could tell he was relieved that the youth of the Church was staying true to its media roots.
