TRAVEL TALK RADIO
By Maggie Espinosa, Presidio Sentinel
To say Sandy
Dhuyvetter has "joie de vivre" is to merely touch on the
dynamic
personality of this radio host. Two days a week she brightens the airwaves
with her travel show - Travel Talk Radio. Interestingly so, one of her shows
is via the Internet. On Thursday mornings from 9AM-11AM, Sandy master minds
her one-woman show from a small studio in Carlsbad, California. Her mission,
to be a catalyst who creates an industry between travel agents and
travelers. Listeners world-wide log onto www.Traveltalkradio.com and join
Sandy for a
morning of travel information, tidbits and engaging conversation with
guests. Sunday morning listeners can tune their radios to KFMB-AM and hear
her as far north as Santa Barbara while she broadcast
a live talk show from 7AM-9AM.
Two-thousand-and-one
was a busy year for Sandy. She began her KFMB radio
career in December on the heels of deploying her Internet show in August.
With a strong computer background, Internet was the logical way to go.
Having worked in the Web community since 1994, she segued into Internet
radio
with ease. Although she makes it look effortless, multitasking is imperative
before and during her shows, requiring her to spend seven days a week
gathering sponsors, updating the Web site and assembling guests for upcoming
shows. Being extremely confident and knowledgeable, Sandy knows what
presently drives the industry. Great with ad-libs and a talented
conversationalist, she darts questions at her guests while she touts their
Web site. Amazingly, her guests all possess fun personalities; I surmise they feed off the host.
Travel
Talk
Radio topics are well rounded and can run the gamut from
travel law to motion sickness medication. Each segment is 18-20 minutes in
length with four minutes of commercials in between. Being one of 30 Internet
shows on wsradio.ws, Sandy uses her two hour show as an educational tool,
constantly walking listeners through the necessary steps required to follow
along. Engaging her audience seems only natural to this energetic individual
who smiles while she talks into the microphone. "Do you think we should
change our name to Travel Talk Radio?" she poses, only enhancing the
rapport
she already has with her attentive travel enthusiasts. It's no wonder Travel
Talk Radio is rated number one by Arbitron and receives 380,000 hits per month on the Web site.
Now more
than ever we need a show whose creed states that "if we live in
harmony with the world, world peace is possible." Thanks to Sandy
Dhuyvetter, Travel Talk Radio assists us in finding harmony through travel.
