10 Questions with ... Zack JacksonBRIEF CAREER SYNOPSIS:
Did mornings at WKRQ in Cincinnati in 2000, afternoons and mornings at WXWX in Philadelphia in 2001, been doing mornings at K92 since 2002
1. How would you describe your first radio gig?
Terrifying and weird! I never had a job in radio until I started doing mornings in Cincinnati (outside of doing 12-6a every other Saturday night on Star 93.7 in Boston from a demo tape I made in my living room), so I got thrust right into morning drive. In hindsight I think I made a lot of mistakes, but also learned a lot from those mistakes, and also earned my “you got fired in radio” stripes in the end.
2. What led you to a career in radio?
One of my best friends in college was Danny Meyers. When he moved to Boston to do nights at Star 93.7 he and I were roommates while I worked for a music promotion company (The Planetary Group). When I left that job, he helped me put together a demo tape at the house and the great Ron Valeri agreed to give me a part-time gig while the two of us thought, “Wouldn’t it be cool to do a morning show together some day?” After that, Danny and I were asked to fill in mornings for a week while the regular show was on vacation and ended up getting offered mornings at Q102 in Cincinnati.
