Hi! I’m Dani Perro.

Starting my radio hosting career at the age of 18 is not something everyone can say.

Many years have gone by, and I have learned a great deal about what it means to be a successful radio host. I think my background in musical theater has helped me when it comes to interviewing my guests on my show.

I have developed great interviewing techniques over the many years as well. The one thing that I like to always say when it comes to interviewing people is that it is absolutely imperative that you keep your guests engaged at all times. When your guests lose interest in your show, then your audience loses interest, which is never a good thing.

Being a radio host, there come many other responsibilities. You should always be willing and ready to ask prepared questions or questions on the fly. Before every show, I always have a list of different types of questions to ask my guests.

Making sure the equipment that I have is always up to date is equally important. It’s important to remember to never to solely rely on technology. Something I learned is that you should always count on things going wrong from time to time and learn to work through those unexpected dilemmas and push through.

In my musical theatre career, it is also true to always improvise when someone forgets a line or is late to run on for a scene. You should always be prepared for the unexpected. The same applies to the radio industry. If I have a cancelation one night, I always try and find someone to fill that vacancy as soon as I can.

If someone is running a little late to my show, I do my best to try and accommodate for lost time. It is also very important to me that we end on time because even my guests have other things to attend to as well as myself.
