Credit for honesty to the college radio DJ who said on-air yesterday, "I'm not required to do this show today, but it's a great motivator for me to get out of bed."
It's understandable that a college station wouldn't mandate its student DJs to trek through the snow, ice, and bitterly cold temperatures just to enter the studio and play music. College stations and noncommercial community stations are two of the only places where attendance is at least occasionally optional and where you can level with listeners to that extent. When you show up under less than ideal conditions, why not mention it on-air, at least briefly?
