Paul K. Williamson P. O. Box 685 St. Augustine, FL 32085 PaulKWilliamson@gmail.com 904.669.1853 December 3, 2019 Re. Ms. Sydney Tucker From February 2000 through November 2019 (when I retired), I hosted a weekly, pre-recorded public affairs radio program on Flagler College Radio, WFCF/88.5fm on behalf of the City of St. Augustine. I hosted the program in my capacity as the city’s Public Affairs Director interviewing city employees from a vast array of backgrounds. For the past year Ms. Sydney Tucker acted as the program’s in-studio producer and her expertise with every aspect of managing the production was invaluable to me. As the program’s host, I never gave the production aspects of the program any thought knowing that Ms. Tucker was in charge. From the studio set-up, through the recording session and then completing the final packaging for broadcast, she demonstrated her skills while working calmly and quickly. Secondly, Ms. Tucker’s personal attention to the needs of the program’s guests made them comfortable in a space unfamiliar to most of them, allowing for their focus on the interview. Her simple comments to guests served to demystify the process and her helpful hints served to ensure a quality interview. In short, working with Ms. Tucker gave me complete confidence that I would be able to focus on what I did as host because she focused on her duties as a producer. Please do not hesitate to contact me if you have any questions. Paul K. Williamson
