Romi Bean interview

This week, I am going to share my Romi Bean interview. Romi co-hosts the afternoon show on AM 760 KDSP radio with Andy Lindahl and Ed McCaffrey. Romi is also a Bronco’s cheerleader. In my opinion she has a wonderful insight into the team and the players. I always enjoy tuning in. Romi also helps produce the show. She does the sports headlines for the show as well. She is a very busy woman with being on the radio, cheerleading for the Bronco’s and being at the Bronco’s games. . I think she is a wonderful addition to the show.Here is my interview with Romi.Jeremy Levy: I know that you were a cheerleader for the Bronco’s from 2005-2010. Then you moved to Los Angeles to get into real estate. What agency were you in and what made radio something that you wanted to pursue?Romi Bean: That is correct. I went to CU in college. Then I was with the Bronco’s from 2005-2010. I was the youngest cheerleader at the time. After that, I wasn’t really sure what I wanted to do. I moved to Los Angeles in 2010I interned with Josh Flag who does a TV show called Million Dollar Listing Los Angeles. I did that for a few months. Then I realized that I don’t like sales. I don’t like sales because I’m not pushy. Then I moved back here. After I moved back here doors started opening up for me.JL: When you moved back here how did you get the job at I heart media and 760 radio?RB: The first job I had when I moved back here was another sales job. After that I auditioned with the Bronco’s. While I was doing that, I was contacted by the radio station with an interview because no one had been a cheerleader, and went back to the Bronco’s years later. While I was talking to them, I started talking with them with how interested I was in getting into sports broadcasting. From there I started doing anything I could do for free with the radio station. I also started doing some podcasts on the Bronco’s website. . At the end of 2015 a position opened up for a producer’s job at the sports station and I applied for it. That’s how I ended up as the producer at the station KDSP radio.JL: What are some memories that you have in working with Ed McCaffrey and Andy?RB: Well I would have to say that working with Ed is fun. Ed is an idol to me. It is really amazing to work with such a wonderful person and such a hard worker in Ed. I feel like I get to learn so much from him. He talks about things from the football side of things. I respect him and look up to him so much.JL: I can relate to that as well. Whenever I listen to people on the radio I consider them my idols. When I get to meet people on the radio I get so excited, and I feel very fortunate that I can share on my blog about my experiences. What have been some of your favorite memories with cheerleading with the Bronco’s?RB: I would say the best one is going to Super Bowl 50. We got to go and dance on the field. It was an awesome experience. The other thing is that the Bronco’s organization is really amazing. They treat us like family. They let me bring someone to the game. I brought my dad, and it was a wonderful experience to share with him as well.JL: Are there any interviews that stand out as being your favorites?RB: Getting to talk to other hosts that are from different cities. One of my favorite interviews is Amy Trask. She has written a book recently. She is the only CEO of a professional football team. I also got to interview Mike Shanahan.JL: What would be your advice for someone wanting to get into Colorado radio?RB: First of all keep pushing. It took me 10 years to get to where I wanted to get my foot in the door. No is just a word. Also listen to the hosts that you like and decide what you like about their style. Develop your own style of what you would like to be.JL: What are one or two strengths of Colorado radio today, and what are 1 or 2 weaknesses of Colorado radio today?RB: One of the strengths is that we live in such a great sports town and, there is such a loyal following. People always want to talk about the Denver Broncos, the Rockies, the Nuggets, and the Avalanche. One weakness is that radio is getting to be an antiquated media.It was wonderful doing this interview with Romi. I so appreciated Romi taking me around KOA's studio after the interview so I could meet a couple of my other idols. I will blog about those in the coming weeks.Thanks for tuning in.Jeremy Levy
