place your bets

I just got an email from United Airways soliciting me use miles to bid for various things, including the chance to be a "Radio Personality." The winner will receive the chance to learn from "longtime host of Dining with Arline, Arline Wolff." The show is carried on CRN, "known as “The Voice of Television," which is heard in over 24 million homes."

While on your VocationVacations® Dream Job Holiday as a Radio Personality, Arline will mentor you in some or all of the following activities:

* Marketing yourself to radio stations to get an “in”
* Acquiring interesting, intriguing and engaging guests for a show
* How to write and research for a show
* Write actual commercials that will air
* Plan an interesting and varied program to keep the audience interested
* Learn the process for conducting in-depth interviews
* Learn how to be a good on-air listener
* Understand the art of “timing”
* Attend the production of a Dining with Arline show

Hmm. I wonder how much someone will bid to "be a Radio Personality." I'm sensing a funding source here...
