Jeff’s Dark and Early Blog

I just finished working on my second multi-part series since coming to work at KMBZ more than a year ago.
The topic is foreclosures, how they impact all of us, and a local look at a national problem. It airs on Monday, and I hope all of you will tune in during Kansas City’s Morning News.
What I learned from this process, however, had as much to do with editing as it had to do with the housing crisis.
The process of putting together something like this takes hours behind the scenes. There is tedious editing, scheduling interviews and trying to put what is in your head into something that can air on your radio.
Once I was finished, I had gained a new respect for the documentary films many of us found boring when we were younger. Regardless of topic, these film makers spend what I can only imagine are years upon years behind the scenes so you and I can enjoy something informational on the Discovery Channel for a couple of hours in the evening. A quality product does not come without quality labor. My hats off to these professionals and the work that they do.
