What's the Morning Show like behind the scenes?
Dave: Imagine 35 dinner plates spinning on sticks. Our job for 4 ½ hours is to keep them all spinning. We lose about 15 plates a day.
Michelle: This really is “Family Life” Radio! I love being able to work with my husband and also having our son join us on the air from time to time. Even our dog comes to the studio on occasion!
Since you share the airwaves with your spouse each day, tell us about one of their annoying habits at work.
Dave: Are you kidding? No husband in his right mind would ever touch that question!
Michelle: Well since Dave typically runs the controls in the studio, it's when he turns my microphone off using what he calls his “wife off” button! He says he's had many a man ask him where to get such a device.
As you sit at “America's Breakfast Table” each morning, what is your favorite thing to eat?
Dave: Well, I drink about a pot of coffee all by myself, along with the occasional delicious treat dropped off at the station by our wonderful listeners. And of course bacon goes well with anything.
Michelle: As Dave is guzzling his pot of coffee, I sometimes manage to swipe a cup of it before it's all gone. I've also been known to cook up and serve the family French toast while in the studio, but that's only on special occasions. Usually I'm munching on whatever cereal our sons are having in the morning.
