While working at WSOU as a student in the late 1990s, I forgot to put the pots in program and they were in audition. I must have played three or four songs at the time and a listener called to say there was dead air. My heart dropped into my stomach. I still have the recurring 'dead air' dreams.

Dead air moments not very memorable really, biggest f-up EVER in my career was hosting an awesome all band interview with System of a Down in front of their management/label at SiriusXM NYC HQ, getting cheers and high-fives afterwards, then realizing I didn’t record ANY OF IT. Epic fail on my part and they were pissed!
