SiriusXM "On Broadway" Radio DJ
there's going to be a lot of youtube clips in this one folks
Right now at this moment, my dream job is to be a radio DJ for SiriusXM’s On Broadway station.
Job
I compile Broadway tunes for the On Broadway station on SiriusXM. I try to do a healthy mix of favorites and deep cuts and I never play Annie. Sometimes I have Raul Esparza’s “Being Alive” on four times in a row.
Location
I work in NYC to be close to the action. I do not work near Broadway however because I hate crowds.
Salary
I am paid a salary of $444,000 because of luck. I have full benefits like unlimited PTO, free Broadway tickets to any show I want, and access to the catalog of every Broadway show ever recorded. This is so I can watch moments over and over again like this clip from Cynthia Erivo in The Color Purple (2:35-2:55 just over and over and over)
Also this 2018 Tony Awards performance from Once On This Island over and over and over…
Work Week
My time slot is Monday, Wednesday, Thursday from 8:00 AM to 12:00 PM. I have Summer Fridays which means that on Fridays I go to a matinee.
Coworkers
Other On Broadway DJs I work with include Seth Rudetsky and Christine Pedi. They know way more than me and tell me fun trivia and stories about Broadway. Like how Anneliese Van der Pol (Chelsea from That’s So Raven) was one of the best Belles on Broadway. (2:26 for the evidence.)
Boss
I have no boss, I answer no one. But actually, it will probably be this 2019 literal high schooler Elyse Bell in like five years. (1:33-2:36)
Growth
Despite me playing the same songs repeatedly, I am a success and am asked to extend my time slots. I think about it!
