Tonga

I remember, as a seven-year-old boy, being thoroughly disappointed visiting my first “island.” Not that my loving parents didn’t have the best of intentions—but as a child, when you’re told you’re going to an “island,” you envision the actual “island” geography and landscape you’ve seen growing up: those crazy-desolate tropical and tiny islands from shows…

#Epic48Hours

Imagine being a winner in a contest where the rules were: 1) You’d have to be willing to go anywhere, 2) Do anything, 3) And be ready to leave at a moment’s notice…as in bags packed and you’re out in 60 seconds after a radio station host knocks on your door. That’s exactly how the rules are…

Tuvalu Social Club: The Runway at Funafuti International Airport

  Perhaps what I will remember Tuvalu most for is the special meeting place that the country has designated for their nightly get-togethers. Every day, about two hours before sunset, hundreds of Tuvaluans, young and old, meet on the runway. Yes, the runway…at the airport. The international airport. Try and wrap your head around that…

10 Photos from Tuvalu (Wait, Where?)

Hey Monica! Hey New York Times peeps! With only 1,200 visitors per year, the tiny island nation of Tuvalu is the third least-visited country on the planet. This sliver of an atoll (a group of them, actually) spans just ten square miles and is home to just a little over 10,000 residents; but not one…

But What’s Your Agenda?

As a program director for two major market radio stations, it’s my job to seek out and hire new talent. While I am interviewing candidates, one of the most important things I try to figure out–and it’s not always easy–is what exactly is the candidate’s agenda? Are they trying to secure a spot on my…
