About this listen

The afternoon drive slot at WFLA AM was fun because it paired me with traffic reporter Gary McHenry. I always tried to have a bit planned to bounce off him. Beyond some odd news item or fact it was all unplanned improv. You never hear radio like this anymore because the traffic is recorded from some remote location as is the on air talent who "voice tracks" (records breaks to be played later) multiple stations. This afternoon also features AccuWeather meteorologist Ken Clark.

Live radio like this is gone now. (As are green stamps, which was the big on-air promotion this day.)
