Humility and Ability
I had lunch this past week with the legendary Max Floyd, the Rock and Roll General from KY102 and many other stops. Always a blast filled with laughs, big personalities, and great stories, just like you can enjoy right here, in the conversation we had a few months back. Very cool listening indeed!
Pleasures Guilty and Real
Citizen of Smiles
The 4th of July weekend and plenty of soccer dramatics provide a perfect time to revisit out conversation with Roger. Raised in Liverpool with many things American, he eventually became a U.S. citizen. That journey is enjoyably explored in this chat, and his fine book.
Restaurant Roller Coaster
An enjoyable conversation Kansas City restauranteur Larry Kime. He was raised in Chicago, the son of prominent jazz musicians, but chose the restaurant industry beginning with his high school years. He has spanned the country in every role it has to offer, and now has his own fine KC establishment, Cliff’s Taphouse. A fascinating journey through every aspect of the challenging and rewarding business.
Riding the Rock Radio Rollercoaster
The Texas native has broadcast from his home state to Germany to Denver, Chicago, Atlanta, and for many years Kansas City, and from Top 40 to Album Rock, with his own unique style that earned him a spot in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. Storytelling at its very best!
A Sporting and Patriotic Tale
A confluence of signiciant soccer competitions around the world make it a perfect time to revisit a wonderful conversation with Roger Bennett of “Men in Blazers” fame. Childhood dreams, immersion in the game of soccer, and emigration to America are at the heart of this hilarious and heartfelt chat. Enjoy!
Heating Up the Summer
An enjoyable deep dive as always with the summer concert season previewed, docs recommended, and recent shows detailed. In the tasty mix Chicago, Jelly Roll, Luke Combs, Pat Matheny, Foo Fighters, Aerosmith, Queens of the Stone Age, The Cars, and much more. Enjoy!
Exultations, Salutations, and Frustrations
Another fabulous musical conversation weaves through summer shows, iconic artists, memories, documentaries, and life events as well as the modern frustrations of ticket buying. Included in the mix Willie Nelson, Lemonade Park, Lewis Capaldi, Aerosmith, Billy Strings, The Mavericks, Marcus Miller, Warren Zevon, Gordon Lightfoot, and more!. Join in the fun!
Family Ties and Worldly Assistance
An absolutely delightful conversation with Kathy Sudeikis, a Hall of Fame travel agent, and the brother of George Wendt of "Cheers" fame, and mother of Jason, from SNL, movies,, and now of course "Ted Lasso". Down to earth sensibilities combined with world travel, and brushes with the famous. Truly enjoyable!
Family, Friends, and Destinations
The couples banter session has plenty of fun on the plate this time around with a great Chicago visit in the rear view and more adventures just ahead. A wedding, a beach, a movie review, vintage musical conversation and more, all in an enjoyable mix.
