Picture this: a journey that began with a spontaneous trip to northern Italy has now led us to the cusp of our 200th episode of Pat's Peeps podcast! Our adventures have whisked us away to southern Italy, Ireland, and soon, the Italian Riviera. Now, we're gearing up for an unforgettable Godfather Tour in Sicily. Despite my lingering fear of flying, I'm learning to embrace the thrill of travel while juggling my love for sports, particularly during events like the World Series. Tune in as I share the exhilarating highs and occasional turbulence of my travel escapades.
Imagine standing in a newsroom as a building burns down just days after you’re let go, or breaking the news of the Unabomber's arrest. My career in radio has been nothing short of an adventure, filled with unexpected moments and influential mentors like Bob Nathan and Dave Williams. From my early days at Talk 650 to my time at KFBK, I've transitioned from reporting sports to hosting talk shows. Join me as I recount these pivotal experiences, including my friendship with fellow broadcaster John McGinnis, and the gripping tale of a standoff situation involving tear gas and the Sacramento County Sheriff’s Department.
What happens when a sports reporter gets thrust into weather reporting? Just ask our special guest Mark Woodley, whose humorous tales of braving the early morning chill in Iowa will leave you chuckling. And if that's not enough to tickle your fancy, we'll also dive into the rich tapestry of music history with Stevie Wonder's iconic "Songs in the Key of Life." Discover the stories behind its creation, its impact on the charts, and why it remains a timeless classic. Whether you're here for travel tales, radio memories, or musical nostalgia, this episode promises a fascinating blend of stories that will resonate with every listener.
