Over the past couple of weeks, I have been on two (2) different radio programs.

On Monday, January 18th, I was a call-in guest on "Marty On Mondays", a talkshow hosted by fellow roadgeek and Toastmaster Marty Seehusen on WWPR-AM 1490 in Sarasota, Florida. Please click here to listen.

This morning, from 7:30 - 9 AM, I was honored to sit in (and even be briefly on the air) with legendary Atlanta radio personalities Randy Cook and Spiff Carner (a.k.a. "Randy and Spiff") on True Oldies 106.7 (WYAY-FM).

My radio gig with Marty was due to our common interests in roads and Toastmasters, while my "Randy and Spiff" gig was due to my name being drawn for the "Breakfast With Randy and Spiff". I was the very first winner of this contest, and future winners will be featured on the next "Breakfast", which will be every last Friday of the month.

In the True Oldies studio, I was mostly an audience member, but they were all just wonderful folks to be around, showed me some of the cool stuff they use to run their show. They did let me have some airtime by letting me do a brief "shout-out" to my family and friends, read a lyric for a song naming contest, and just before their show ended, I got to say "goodbye" over the air.

As an added bonus, I even got to visit with their traffic reporter Greg Talmadge, who does reports for both True Oldies and their "sister station" Kicks Country 101.5 (WKHX-FM). You would've thought that, as a "roadgeek", they'd let me do one traffic report segment, but seriously, folks, they have only so much time and it's best that such a thing is left to the pros such as Greg.

Here's Greg and me in his studio...


To show my appreciation to Randy, Spiff, and Greg for allowing me a brief visit in their world of commercial broadcasting, and for the great Chick-Fil-A breakfast the station provided, I gave each of them an Official "Georgia Road Geek" magnet. and made each of them "honorary roadgeeks".
