10 Questions with ... Dan Sheldon1. Could you share in a handful of sentences your career path that led to your current gig at WCTL?
I started at WXTA Country 98 in 1996. At one time or another, I have worked at almost every station in the Erie market. Before WCTL, I was working at Rocket 101 (New & Classic Rock). While working there, God told me it was time to quit. I didn't listen to Him because I didn't know what else I would do.
As time went on, we started playing a song called "Porn Star Dancing" and started airing commercials for a porn store. I had just come out of porn addiction (I'll get into that in a bit) and didn't like that I was kind of promoting this stuff as the jock on the air. I still didn't quit. Eventually corporate decided all weekenders would voice track their shows. That left me with one hour a week. That was not even worth the gas it took to get me to the station. I told my boss that I could no longer work there. He understood. It was a good split-I still love the people I worked with there. I had no idea what I was going to do. However, the very next Sunday I bumped into Adam Frase (program director at WCTL at the time) at church and he said he had some work for me at the station if I was interested. I asked him how he knew I quit Rocket and he responded with "I didn't know you quit." I knew right then that this is where God was calling me to be.
