Everyone else is binging series on Amazon Prime, Netflix, Hulu, etc etc. I’m binging “Make Room For Daddy”. (Later retitled “The Danny Thomas Show.”) Except it’s not really binge-viewing, because the channel I get it on only airs two episodes a week, every Monday morning at 3:00am. (I DVR it and watch it when I … Continue reading I Am Obsessed With “Make Room For Daddy”
For a few years now I’ve taken on the challenge of creating cover photos for the ol’ K-Cow. I create covers for our weekend syndicated shows, to depict our music format, and to promote special programs. I’d like to think I’m getting better at it. It’s a unique challenge to use that specifically sized real … Continue reading Le Gallery De Cover Photos
Yesterday’s post, in which I extolled the virtues of Perry Como, has likely ruined any chance I have of being a music tastemaker. But I press forward nevertheless, because this is the week that my pal Herr Kroheim Von Songheim (performing and recording as “Kalin Krohe Reference”) releases his brand new album, “Neon Halos.” Even … Continue reading Allow Me To Make A Kalin Krohe Reference
My musical taste is, like so many great AM radio stations I have enjoyed, “All Over The Road.” I grew up hearing (and enjoying) pop music from such 70’s and early 80’s standbys as The Doobie Brothers, Olivia Newton-John, The Spinners, Captain and Tennille, etc. I was devoted to 80’s top 40 during my high … Continue reading The Perry Como Renaissance Is At Hand!
In 2006, Kalin Krohe was working days at KCOW. We decided we should come up with some kind of character for him to play on my morning show. We came upon the notion of a strange recluse who lives in the radio station basement, venturing upstairs once a day to ask me to play a … Continue reading The Bob S. Bestos Story
I wrote some bridging material for a “Dr. J And Dangerous Dave Dog and Pony Show” best-of episode. As you will see, it all centers on 2017’s total solar eclipse. And we didn’t get around to it in time. ANNCR: From Radio City in Alliance, ladies and gentlemen…Dr. J and Dangerous Dave! (DOC and DAVE … Continue reading LOST SKETCH: “Doc and Dave” Totally Clips Show
Sometimes you write things that you know are only funny to you. Sometimes you write things that are tacky and silly. Sometimes you write very specific parodies that are by their nature inaccessible to most people because they are not familiar with the object of parody. And sometimes, you check all the marks and get … Continue reading LOST SKETCH: The Churchy Hour
In 2017, Nebraska celebrated its susque–sesqua–150th birthday. And those marvelous Main Street Players did what was, for us, a very ambitious play taking audience members through 150 years of Box Butte County history in under two hours. Our director, Elaine Connelly Bleisch, wanted to spotlight the building of Carhenge, and surrounding controversy, with a rap … Continue reading The Carhenge Rap
Dave Kuskie and I do a sketch comedy radio show called “The Dr. J And Dangerous Dave Dog and Pony Show.” It’s a series only in that we have done more than one episode. We’re averaging about one episode a year, and with Dave now back in sunny California I don’t anticipate that schedule changing … Continue reading LOST SKETCH: Andy Williams Tribute Artist
My pal Dave Kuskie and I have been making radio programs since 2004. We call them “internet radio shows” because…well…they’re not podcasts. They’re a modern take on the radio comedies and dramas of the pre-television era, with sound effects, as many voice actors as we can beg to join us, and original scripts. One of … Continue reading The “Canine Creeper” Dossier
