About me: They call me Producer Laura -- actually, I call myself that too. Lately I've been shortening it to "PL" -- We'll see if that catches on.
I am a talent booker at Sirius XM Radio, booking guests and running around behind the scenes for several shows. If you listen closely, you might occasionally get to hear my voice, too!
If I sound familiar, you might have heard me before; I was a producer on Sirius' Maxim Radio for four years, in addition to co-hosting "the Bower Show" (one of Maxim Radio's inaugural programs, which aired for two and a half years), hosting my own show on a rock music channel in San Francisco, and working as part of the John London Not Just Sports Show for two years.
My voice can be heard on various radio commercials and in the video games "Grand Theft Auto IV" and "Grand Theft Auto: Vice City Stories". I was also part of Dove's Campaign For Real Beauty -- you can see an extended version of one of my commercials by clicking on "see me in action" to the left.
If you are a musician or band who wants to get played on Sirius, unfortunately I can't help you. However, you are welcome to submit your music through the web site! There are instructions on the "help" page at www.sirius.com.
Check out the page, add me as a friend, and listen to Sirius XM Radio!
You may have noticed that in 2007, I changed my main profile picture every day. All of those photos can be seen in the second slide show below. The top slide show is additional photos -- there were just too many to choose from!
I am not changing my profile photo every day any more, but I will still be changing it from time to time. If there is a photo in the top slide show that you'd like to see featured as a profile photo, add a comment saying so and I'll make it happen for you.
After all, you are why I am on myspace in the first place!!!!
:-)
Who I'd like to meet: Sirius XM Radio fans; old friends; cute boys; Ed Helms
I see the Bower Show is "Coming Back Soon" What's the deal and are you going to be a part of it? You need to be behind a mic and back on the radio again. I find myself listening to Covino and Rich but it's just not the same. Scooter was so innocent and funny....
