The topic of DJ shouts and DJ jingles came up recently and I asked my Facebook radio friends to send me their shouts and name jingles.   I put them together in a six minute sampler that is fun to listen to, I think.

Give it a listen.

Her name was Michelle Haun when she joined my morning show as producer in 1990.  It took only a few days for me to become enormously fond of this bright, effervescent young lady.  She brought sunshine into my studio every single day and learned the trade at lightening speed.

When she wasn't grinding away to find show topics and guests for me, she was busy making me smile and laugh.

34 years later, after radio stints in Washington D.C., she is now Michelle O'Neil with a family and a new Novel titled “Dog Park.”  Michelle joins me on this episode of Talking About Radio and we relive the days when she was making my life brighter and my show consistently number one in the market.

Every broadcaster should be so lucky to have a wonderful producer like Michelle.

Long time DJ Larry Kratka retired from doing regular radio shows and news programs, but he wasn't ready to give up broadcasting.  So he began to syndicate his brainstorm, a program that features "Nothing But Old 45s."  It has developed a life of it's own and is currently on 65 terrestrial and online stations and continues to grow each week.

This is fun conversation with an original radio DJ and newsman who has great stories to tell about the many stations he worked at.  Lots of laughs and nostalgia in this episode of Talking About Radio with John Leslie.
