You can take the Radio Guy out of Radio Station, but you can't take the Radio Station out of the Radio Guy

Many of you know my pal John Homa. You may also know my pals Captain Jim Slade, Big Jim Slade, Greg Worth, John Carter, and John Collins. They are all the same person, just names John uses on multiple radio and television stations giving traffic and sports reports. He came in Friday to fill in for our vacationing traffic reporter. John's been in radio since he was in college and is pretty old school despite his young age. He does have to do television on occasion, but I don't think he really enjoys it as much as radio because you have to change cameras and maps and stuff instead of just giving the traffic and reading a spot.
John said he didn't feel comfortable just clipping a microphone on for every report so he decided to make himself feel more at home today. He took your classic television lavalier microphone and turned it into a radio station style boom mic courtesy of an ink pen. That's bad ass.
