In 2014 Britt was depressed, broke, and hanging on to her San Francisco apartment for dear life. But, hanging out in the studio on Friday nights co-hosting hello, cheetle. made her feel alive.
When Britt got in a very bad bike accident, the only way she could think to help herself recover was to document the experience and air it on her show. “I wouldn't have had the confidence or skills to make that first radio piece without the support and encouragement from the BFF.fm community. I've never had a thing like that in my life before.”
That first radio piece inspired Britt to apply to the documentary studies in radio/podcasting graduate program called Salt at the Maine College of Art, and today she has a new career at a music production company. “My time at BFF.fm gave me credibility, experience in an industry that is hard to break into, and a defined creative voice.”
BFF.fm helped Britt discover something new in herself, and with that knowledge she was able to push the boundaries of what’s possible in her life and in her career.
