So today was a lot of research. I started by trying to track down some caller we had on the show yesterday that everyone loved. Unfortunately, we only had her first name and where she worked. Luckily, Google (and a few good Samaritans who pointed me in the right direction) saved the day. Then I went to watch the taping of today's show on the military civilian divide. The Sound of Ideas is also videotaped to air on the Ohio Network and to stream online. So I sat with the person who does the video taping. I also sat with the person who does call screening.
The bulk of the rest of the day was research. Next Tuesday, Sound of Ideas is doing a show on this guy from Strongsville, Adam Perez, who left some high powered job to go on a "happiness tour" helping others around the world. So I tried to get as much information about him as possible. Unfortunately, many of the articles about him were in Spanish (he's spent the bulk of his time in central and south America), rendering my five years of French useless in this arena. I next did some research on the West Side Market, who is celebrating its centennial this year. For this show, Sound of Ideas is hoping to do on "on location" shoot. Sadly for me, that show isn't until mid-June, so I won't get to be a part of it. Finally, I did some research on elder abuse, which was an eye opening and horrifying experience.
