DAILY QUIZ
Twice a day on our radio show, listeners played quizzes to win prizes. My job was to write questions that were timely and accurate, but also generally pointless, absurd and entertaining.
BLOGGING and HUMOR
Humor-driven content comes easily to me as it is closely related to the type of personal content I generated and shared on the radio each morning.
EXAMPLES:
In 2018 I created an Instagram account for my cat Ted where he "speaks" via a cheesy app that makes his mouth move. Ted amassed over 1,300 fans, which quite honestly is a pathetic number in the IG cat world, but they're very avid fans.
When my daughter was a teenager, I started an anonymous BLOG to vent about the social trends I was noticing among her peers. With a self-deprecating approach, I created a place where other parents could feel safe sharing their feelings of failure and their moments of triumph.
I wrote a number of comedic, first-person features for Willamette Week on subjects like maternity clothes, spoiled pets and learning to play bridge.
My friends and listeners got addicted to a serial piece I inadvertently created when I began replying to a Facebook romance scammer.
And for my radio show, I wrote daily quizzes that entertained listeners with fresh spins on topics.
