Say! It has been a while since I last shared some of the radio commercials I write and produce for my beloved employer! So here are some fairly recent ones. We start with two spots for Alliance Community Pharmacy. The first is to promote a contest for the last baby born in our fair city … Continue reading And Now, These Messages…
Yes, this is another blog post shamelessly promoting my internet radio creations with Dangerous Dave Kuskie. Our newest series, “Tales From The Inner Sanctum”, is our version of an anthology series. “Twilight Zone”, “Night Gallery”, and so forth. The Inner Sanctum is a massive structure of which Dave and I have somehow possessed ownership. The … Continue reading The Benny Zone
Starting to put a dent in my “unread books” pile. If Facebook memes are to be believed, I am far from alone in the habit of gathering books faster than I can read them. But I do like to read them…sometimes it just takes a while. “Yabba Dabba Doo! …or Never A Star” is about … Continue reading On The Bookshelf: Reed and Brooks
So, funny thing….I recently did a post about the two fellows who did the voice of Fred Flintstone. It’s here if you haven’t seen it yet. Once in a blue moon I decide to do a little paid advertising of the ol’ bloggy to the Faceboook universe out there just to see what happens. Advertising, … Continue reading After These Messages…
The first time I saw “The Abbott And Costello Show” was on “The STM Club”, a local kiddie TV show in Syracuse, NY. (The TV station was WSTM, hence the title.) The headliner of the club was Scooby-Doo, and A&C filled most of the second half of the hour. The show was run from grubby, … Continue reading “Heyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy Abboooooooott!”
Things I am doing now, in order of enjoyment: Sipping on an ice-cold Coca-Cola Classic. No further details required. Checking a package I got in the mail….aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaand it’s season one of Rod Serling’s “Night Gallery.” Cool! I thought it might be season one of “The Abbott and Costello Show” on Blu Ray, which is also … Continue reading “Listening to Myself” by Billy Idle

Distributed by United Stations since 2009, affiliates were notified this week of the end of the two shows following the weekend of January 1 and 2, 2022. As the Program Director of KCOW, I have always … Continue reading When Saturday Nights Were Solid Gold
I hope you had a marvelous Thanksgiving! Mine was typically quiet, spent hosting Thanksgivng programming at Radio City, then heading home to enjoy a Black Friday vaca day. PBS had a marvelous Christmas special on Thanksgiving night (I admire their restraint–CBS yet again aired “Rudolph” three full days before Turkey Day, the scoundrels). The special … Continue reading Ladies And Gentlemen…The Weekend (Blog Post)
One of the regular features of this here blogola is the sharing of radio commercials I have had some part in bringing to life. I like writing commercials that are funny, quirky, attention-getting, and–most importantly–EFFECTIVE! When people tell our clients “I heard your commercial on the radio” that makes me the happiest of campers. We’ll … Continue reading A Word From Our Sponsors (God Bless Them!)
Today marks Mike Glesinger’s 35th anniversary with KCOW and Eagle Radio. This is a major milestone and an incredible accomplishment in a business where job security is so lousy it’s memorialized in a TV theme song (“Town to town, up and down the dial…”) Gles, you see, has no truck for self-aggrandizement. (I, on the … Continue reading 10 Facts About Gles (Half of Which Are False)
