Ken Mansfield – January 30th, 2019 is the 50th anniversary of the last time the Beatles would ever play together in a ‘live’ setting. It was on a rooftop of their record label, 40+ minutes, and audio that would eventually be used for the album, “Let It Be”. There were only a few ‘employees’ on the roof that day, and if you google photos, you’ll see a man with a white coat. Ken Mansfield worked for Apple Records and was there that day.Advertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

In September of 2014, I was at a conference that Plumb performed at. She knocked me over, I already knew she could sing, but her story is what struck me as powerful. Fast forward to a radio tour in May of 2015, and I had the privilege of interviewing her on our morning show. The other female voice you will hear is my co-host, Melanie. So into the archives we go Tiffany Lee, a.k.a. Plumb.Advertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

Kevin Matthews is the reason why I’m doing what I’m (still) doing in radio broadcasting. His time at WLUP in Chicago is legendary to “Kev-Heads” around the Midwest and beyond. It wasn’t just Kevin either - it was also sports announcer “Jim Shorts”, Darnell, Devon, Ronald Reagan, Elvis, Pee Wee Herman, and a cast of others, all flowing out of the mouth and brain of Kevin. Kevin has written a book called “Broken Mary” that has given him a much different perspective on life. Pardon me while I geek out talking to my hero, Kevin Matthews.Advertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

There are people who are naturally funny, and there are people that need to work at it. The cartoonish southern style of speaking leads me to believe that Chonda is naturally funny.

From her start as a Minnie Pearl impersonator at Opryland, to audiences of thousands listening to funny stories about being born in a cab, her mom’s wig, misplacing her husband’s body,….(really.)Advertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy
