I recently bought tickets to go see Laurie Anderson in concert. That Laurie Anderson...the 'O Superman' woman. I'm a huge fan (personal musical taste there mayte!)
In an interview a few years back she was asked to describe what she does. She said, "I'm a multi-media artist".
The interviewer asked her what that means...she said "I don't know...but it gives you something to write ".
Her point was - she likes to sing. She also likes to speak, she enjoys writing poems and long essays, she creates video and audio, she dances and sits, she conducts and plays, she plays a violin and electronic keyboard, she uses on stage visuals and darkness. She does LOTS of stuff on stage...each one with it's own description. Each one with it's own relevance at that time. So, 'What do you do?' is an impossible question to answer.
It's the same with you. A 'Radio Presenter' is a talker, laugher, provoker, teaser, messer, information giver, surpriser, emotion bringer, story teller, antagonist, musicologist, agony aunt, debater, friend, annoyance, creator, innovator....
You get the idea.
Yes, you are a 'Radio Presenter'...but don't let the label hold you back from being whatever that means to you at any point in time.
You can be that 'O Superman'...or 'woman' :)
