This episode concludes our series, “It’s a Livin,’” focusing on jobs that force you to play the bad guy.

Producer Jesse Bo Widmark sits down with Tyler, a veteran backyard wrestler, who plays “the heel” in these free-for-all matches, taking abuse from his opponents and the crowd in turn.

Episode broadcasts 10am from KCPR San Luis Obispo 91.3 fm Tuesday, June 30, 2009. This is the last episode of season one!  But we’ll be hard at work, cooking up new stuff for season two in September–and hopefully have a few tidbits this summer.

This week on SLObispo: the show! producer Blake Overman takes a look at the gritty world of process serving. Making both children and grown women cry, Greg, a process server has a tough job. It’s never easy being a middleman, especially when it’s between attorneys and their victims.

In this week’s show, find out how you too can become a middleman and out of curiosity, I go on a ride-along, door to door. Be sure to tune in!

This week, SLObispo welcomes a brand new Producer, Meagan Gonzaga, of Cal Poly’s Journalism Department, who will no doubt add a degree of professionalism to SLObispo, aside from bringing back a female perspective to our temporarily all Duder line-up.

This week, Meagan brings a first hand account of one of the most trying jobs to be had on a college campus: Tele-fundraising in a student call center.

Tune in, and meet the phoneline archetypes that haunt every weary caller who cold calls on behalf of his or her college.

Episode airs tomorrow, Tuesday, June 16th on KCPR, Sal Luis Obispo 91.3 fm.

The perfect job–talked about like a pot of gold at the end of the rainbow and hunted like the elusive unicorn (my great uncle was a unicorn hunter. He died a very unhappy man.)  As a culture, and especially in this time of economic turmoil, we are obsessed with the perfect job, that impossible amalgam of self-fulfillment and self-sufficience.  The idea that someday, somehow, we’ll be able to do what we love and get paid for it, too.

This month, SLObispo dashes all those hopes and brings you stories of people working not just imperfect jobs, but bad jobs–jobs that people are hated for, or jobs that make those people hate themselves.  Jobs of moral conundrum and reprehension.  We bring you the job world’s bottom of the barrel in our series for June: It’s a Livin’.

This week: Dealer of Death.  Join me, Carl B. Richetti, as I explore a warehouse on the outskirts of SLO, the strange creatures that creep and crawl within its walls, and the woman who cares for them all.  It’s the story of Megan Bailey, a woman in love with the animals for which she toils, and the dubious fates that she sends them off to.  Don’t miss it!

Tuesday, June 2nd, we will re-air our “Let’s Talk About Sex” stories, all cobbled together as one giant show.

So if you missed any of these episodes, here’s your second chance. Hearing them all together, you’ll get the full SLObispo sextacular experience.

Episode will be broadcast from KCPR, San Luis Obispo 91.3 fm, home of the burnt dog.

In our final installment of Tales from the Deep Dark, contributor Megan Costello gives us the inside scoop on the most unlikely deep dark place we could imagine.

Come prepared to get in touch with your inner-child as we take you on a guided tour down Memory Lane…or is it Elm Street?  (*gasps!*)  Bring tissues, because tears of joy or abject horror may follow.  May 26 at 10am on KCPR 91.3fm.  Or as always, you can find us on iTunes by clicking the handy link directly to your right –>

This week on SLObispo, we continue our exploration of the unknown, the fearful and the paranormal.

This Tuesday, May 5, we will be recycling/re-broadcasting our inaugural, 1-hour show, “(Almost) 24 Hours at Uptown.”  If you missed it the first time, be sure to tune in for life in SLO played out on the stage of a coffee shop.

The following Tuesday (May 12), we begin our May series: Stories from the Deep Dark.  Listen in for stories of people plunging into the unknown, rushing headlong toward their fears.  Producer Brian Hildebrand will take you on a tour of the actual Deep Dark buried in the bowels of San Luis Obispo.  And contributor Lauren Schenkman tells a story of 3 girls heading to the edge of town in the dead of night on an epic adventure–epic in their minds, at least.  Our first short story!  We’re all pretty excited.  Hope you are too.
