A scientifically-generated cross-section of my listening audienceWhat’s that you say? You don’t get enough of me every day here on Voracious and want more stories about zombies, more jabbering about cooks, more dick jokes and weird rants and tales of the restaurant industry? Well then brother, do I have something for you…Provided you get up very early (like seven-in-the-morning-early which, for me, may as well just be an adjunct to the night before), you can hear me every Thursday on 103.7 talking about food, restaurants and whatever else crosses my mind, along with my highly tolerant (and much more professional) co-hosts-slash-handlers, Sean Demery and Tami Bennett. They’re in there to try to keep me on track and on topic and, most of the time, they succeed. But me? I’m in there to get them to laugh into a hot mic, snort coffee out their noses, collapse under the weight of FCC fines, whatever. I’m just causing trouble as best I can because, seriously? If there’s any industry out there that’s in more trouble than the newspaper industry, it’s probably the radio industry, so why not try to have a little fun while the sky falls, right?Honestly, most of the best stuff we talk about never makes it onto the air. Some of it does, but a lot of it ends up living only in the editing room.Like for example, there’s this: an actual segment I did about all-night restaurants in Seattle. (Just click on the link, then hit the little mp3 tab on the page it takes you to.) This minute or so of tape was what came out of a ten-minute-long conversation with the microphone–all that they were able to salvage that wasn’t off-topic, ridiculous, libelous or more gunked up with bad words than playing a game of Scrabble with George Carlin.Or how ’bout a couple minutes on felony kidnapping and tailgate parties, courtesy of your’s truly.But on the other side of the coin, there’s this: an open-mic jag about candy corn, earwigs and Oompa-Loompas that never made the airwaves. Matter of fact, I hadn’t even gotten my coat off when I started in on this. I was barely in the studio yet (which is why, at the beginning, Tami has to tell me to actually speak into the mic). 103.7 The Mountain won’t put this one on the air, but it is, apparently, suitable for their blog. Which is just fine by me.So anyway, if you happen to be up and about at 7:45-ish in the morning on Thursdays and just dying for a hit of restaurant news and criminal behavior, tune in to 103.7 and get your fix. And in the future, I’ll see what I can do to get some of the better off-air excerpts onto the blog for your listening pleasure.
