Stress.
Bad eating habits while on air.
Revved up peers who have bought into the radio-at-all-costs-game and pester you to do so as well.
Insecure PDs who can't make a decision or make their staff lives hell.
Copywriters who don't read their copy before submitting to announcers.
Ad departments who want announcers to ride elephants at local store openings.
Fights with MDs about what music to play.
Four hours of adrenaline on air followed by downtime.
