Only in college XCIV

I always enjoyed going home and stepping away from studying during Spring Break each year.  Nevertheless, I felt a slight pang at the thought of anyone else doing my radio shows in my absence.  At least once, I'd think, "I have the show's underwriter copy memorized, and to double check, I can listen to air checks of previous shows.  Before I leave campus, I can write down the copy about upcoming concerts and events that I would read on-air. Maybe I could record my shows on tape using my home music library and reading the appropriate copy at the right times.  Then, as long as I air mail the tapes to the station far enough ahead of time, they could be played on the air during my regular time slot.  Of course, I'd have to call the station and make sure the tapes were received."

I suspect I wasn't the only DJ who entertained this idea.
