ABSTRACT

Producing is a tough gig. When the show goes well, the host gets the credit; when it fares poorly, often it is the producer who is blamed. Good producer jobs are diffi cult to get. Most demand long, stressful hours for little reward and low pay. Although many music DJs and presenters produce their own shows, in talk radio, particularly in major markets, a producer can add signifi cantly to the success of the program.
