I first met Leslie Goshko in 2008 when we were both producing our own shows at Ochi’s Lounge, a great club run by the fabulous now-owner of Q.E.D., Kambri Crews in the basement of COMIX the biggest comedy club in NYC in those days.

Leslie and I support each other’s work consistently and it REALLY HELPS. The last time Leslie visited the station was exactly 3 years ago this month so she returns to update up. 3 years ago, Leslie had just started performing at Loser’s Lounge at Joe’s Pub as well as pianist and host for Karaoke at Sid’s Gold. Today those have both turned into regular gigs for her. She outlines her other music director gigs she’s been doing, including an upcoming night at a fancy benefit to honor Seth Rogan and his dad, Mark.

I also get Leslie, despite her resistance, to talk about the intense thrice-weekly gym workout with a trainer that she began a year ago and the effect it’s had on her psyche. Leslie is an example of how hard work, discipline, and oh yeah, talent! can lead to great things Also please note: we found out more about Mark Rogan,, Seth Rogan’s father. He worked for a non-profit organization and as an assistant director of the Workmen's Circle Jewish fraternal organization
