It’s spring & we’re always looking for fresh ideas. Here’s a recording of a 40 min Creative Cardio brainstorm call with 15-20 personalities sharing on air discussion ideas. Grab a pen! There’s some fun ideas in here!

Jimmy Fallon comes up with something memorable EVERY WEEK that seems to go viral. Have you ever thought about what you’re doing each week that’s actually memorable to your listeners? Can you come up with ONE thing?

Think about what you are good at. Maybe it was a memorable phone discussion with listeners? Maybe it was a memorable story with the right music & SFX that grabbed their heart? Maybe it was a silly bit with an artist you play? Maybe it was a hilarious St Patrick’s Day game?  Come up with ONE memorable thing from your show EVERY week and you will be a star. Put a clip from that memorable element in a recorded promo and on your website. It may be a serious turning point for your show…

Ever had audio from your show actually go viral? Or was it a picture, a video or text that you found your listeners sharing? This is interesting food for thought from Mark Ramsey as we think about where we post our audio, how we showcase our audio and how we re-purpose what we do with audio, text, pictures and or video.

While plenty of stations can probably be considered innovators, I do admire the community that CreativeCardio.com is building. I love the idea of people coming together to learn from each other and share ideas. In the limited interaction I have with other radio talent, we’re all too often a bit closed-mouth about our creative processes. No one’s actually trying to steal the Colonel’s Secret Recipe. You don’t see that sort of protectiveness in the film industry. They create entire documentaries to show you their creative process. I’d like to see more of that among Christian radio professionals. Let’s help each other.” –Obadiah Haybin, RadioU

“Hands down the best prep resource I’ve ever worked with is Creative Cardio. It’s DJ’s helping and sharing content with other DJ’s instead of a prep service with silly jokes and one liners.” –Shannon Steele, KXOJ/Tulsa

“If you are in radio you need to check out CreativeCardio.com with my friends Scott Herrold and Jayar Reeves. It’s an awesome collaboration of talent pooling ideas to help each other.” – Pam Lundell, 98.5 KTIS

“I love that  this is a lot more than just showprep. Most spoon fed prep services make every show sound the same, with the same corny jokes and “this day in history” stuff, but Creative Cardio’s design builds your show into a unique product with lots of help from fellow folks. GREAT concept! – Dan Young, SOS Radio
