Survey

I gotta admit, sometimes I feel a little miserly when it comes to money.  I guess I just want to be frugal, but from time to time I wish I didn't have to think about it so much.

Every day here on our stations, I’m thinking about different ways to interact with you.  I know this whole radio thing isn’t just me out there talking to myself.  So it’s very important to me that I get your input on stuff!  That’s what the weekly Enquiring Minds surveys are all about, picking your brain and seeing what you think about stuff.

One thing people ask me about my job here at the station is whether or not I get to meet famous people.  Sure, I've met a few here and there, but nothing was too remarkable.

Sometimes you can convince yourself that a pizza is going to taste good just by the way it looks.  A study by the Institute of Food Technologists say that what people like to see is a golden cheese pie with both dark toasted-cheese patches and glistening oil in other spots.

Every week I try to think of a different question about something I've read in the news about things that we're thinking about.  Then I ask you about your opinion, and we talk about it on the air.

CareerBuilder asked close to 2,200 hiring managers if they’ve ever spotted a lie on a resume and 58 percent said yes, indeed they had. The problem has apparently gotten worse since the recession ended with jobs still relatively scarce as three in ten managers admit the incidence of lying has increased.
