Fabulous things happened at KAOS radio today. First, at 9am, we broadcast the quarterly "Laugh Tracks Special" with Randy Hodgins and Steve McLellan.
Randy and Steve hosted this superb comedy show (featuring 60 years of classic recorded stuff plus their own bits and remarkable rapport) every Saturday for many years, but stopped a few years back when Randy's work schedule created some big changes in his life.
They're still really good at it, and I'm glad they're continuing with one of KAOS' all-time finest programs.
I feel tremendously fortunate, because today at the station's annual awards banquet, it was announced that my program was voted the co-favorite of my KAOS peers. I shared the award with Scott Stevens, whose World Music show "Spin the Globe" (Fridays at 10am Pacific Time/U.S.) is one of the best things going on non-commericial radio. If I remember correctly, Scott and I are the only KAOS programmers to win the award more than once.
See the website: www.earball.net/spintheglobe; just don't compare it to my rather unstylish site (my own fault, of course). I think Scott is one of the best broadcasters in the country--he's a great interviewer, and a friendly, engaging host. While "Spin the Globe" is well-planned, it's never rigid--it manages to sound informative, natural and effortless. Indeed, even if I'm not in the mood for World Music on a Friday morning, I will tune in just to hear one of the best. Congrats, Scott!
