Hello, sir. Welcome to the EIB Network.<\/line><BR\/>CALLER: Hi. Thanks for taking my call, Rush.<\/line><BR\/>RUSH: You bet.<\/line><BR\/>CALLER: I was hoping for a little bit of advice.<\/line><BR\/>RUSH: For what?<\/line><BR\/>CALLER: Well, tonight I\u2019m going to be hosting a radio show on my college campus, and I was hoping that, since you excel in broadcasting, you could give me a few tips.<\/line><BR\/>RUSH: Well, what are you going to talk about?<\/line><BR\/>CALLER: Well, I\u2019m doing straight news for the first half hour, and then we\u2019re going to have a bit of a debate, me and a liberal. We\u2019re going to debate unions.<\/line><BR\/>RUSH: Going to debate unions. Is there anything exciting happening in state news? How long is your show?<\/line><BR\/>CALLER: It\u2019s only an hour.<\/line><BR\/>RUSH: It\u2019s an hour. So half of it is going to be devoted to state news? Is there anything exciting in state news, or do you have to do this because whoever your boss is requiring it be done?<\/line><BR\/>CALLER: Yes. I work with another guy, and this is gonna be my first night. He has it set up so that we do straight news for a couple of &#8212;<\/line><BR\/>RUSH: Oh, wait. Are you saying <emphasize>straight <\/emphasize>news? Oh! Oh, okay. I was saying, &#8220;If you\u2019re going to do state news, nobody is going to listen.&#8221; I\u2019m sorry. You\u2019re going to do straight news? <\/line><BR\/>CALLER: Yes.<\/line><BR\/>RUSH: Okay. Is it going to be news you care about?<\/line><BR\/>CALLER: Yes.<\/line><BR\/>RUSH: Are you going to be able to comment on the news, or are you just going to be like an unopinionated presenter of news?<\/line><BR\/>CALLER: For the first half hour I have to be unopinionated.<\/line><BR\/>RUSH: You\u2019re not allowed to be opinionated in the first half hour?<\/line><BR\/>CALLER: Right.<\/line><BR\/>RUSH: Well, that will be good training because that\u2019s practically impossible. If you\u2019re a thinking, indulged, engaged human being, it\u2019s impossible not to have an opinion about what you\u2019re talking about. You know, raise your eyebrow. I know it\u2019s radio, but raise your eyebrow. Maybe pause now and then to convey your opinion in this. There\u2019s any number of tricks. You can watch Charles Gibson and learn how to do it. Peter Jennings was great at it. Katie Couric doesn\u2019t have to, she\u2019s just blatant. But look, if this is your first show, you\u2019re going to have some nerves. You\u2019ve never done this before?<\/line><BR\/>CALLER: No.<\/line><BR\/>RUSH: All right, you\u2019re going to have some nerves, and you\u2019re going to be worried about a number of extraneous things. The thing that I would first advise you to do is be as informed on whatever the subject matter of the program is as possible, because that is where you get your confidence.<\/line><BR\/>CALLER: Yes. <\/line><BR\/>RUSH: Be as informed on it as you can and then project your voice with confidence. Don\u2019t just speak in a normal monotone, but really project it and sound authoritative like you are the world\u2019s last and only authority.<\/line><BR\/>RUSH: I figure that now that I\u2019ve been on 800 radio stations right now &#8212;<\/line><BR\/>RUSH: Yeah, 800 or so according to others. Yes.<\/line><BR\/>CALLER: Yeah, it should be pretty easy going on just one tonight.<\/line><BR\/>RUSH: Yeah, it\u2019s true, because I\u2019ve been a caller, and I know what it\u2019s like. You\u2019re sitting out there and you\u2019re on hold and sometimes you\u2019re on hold for minutes, or sometimes close to an hour, and the screener comes and tell you, ?You\u2019re next!? and then you start getting nervous and so forth, and then the host goes to you, and you try not to clam up and forget what you were going to say and so forth. That\u2019s why it\u2019s crucial to be passionate and be informed about what you\u2019re saying and those two things should carry you. I\u2019m not going to get into actual broadcast techniques because those are things that you\u2019ll learn as you go along.<\/line><BR\/>CALLER: Okay. Well, thank you very much, Rush.<\/line><BR\/>RUSH: All right: confidence, projection and passion.<\/line><BR\/>CALLER: Awesome.<\/line><BR\/>RUSH: And, of course, being informed. You can\u2019t replace that.<\/line><BR\/>CALLER: Definitely.<\/line><BR\/>RUSH: I\u2019m happy to help out there Chris. <\/line><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>RUSH: Chris in Utica, New York.
