Learning the Ropes

Today I was not able to record my stories for the air because my co-worker who usually produces the news was out. he was coming in later and was going to use my story for the 5 o'clock news. He has taught me the basics of recording and producing in the studio, but I haven't actually done it yet because we usually do the news together. Today I think we realized that it's time that I get more hands-on just in case this happens again. I will probably be producing the news by myself shortly.
