KSON Snooki, Cookie, or Wooki
Sometimes very unpredictable moments happen when you least expect them with listeners. John and Tammy at KSON, San Diego put together a fun game with Jersey Shore’s Snooki being pregnant and Girl Scout cookies going on sale. What happens close to the end was completely unexpected, but caused a moment that so took them off guard the show devolved into great laughter and created talk for the program.
Feet or Fraud
With “Dancing with the Stars” back on TV and its image that they put the absolute biggest no names on their show as contestants, play “Feet or Fraud”. Offer up the names of people who’ve actually appeared on the show (feet) or ones who didn’t (fraud).

Your One Phone Call
If you were ever in trouble, who would you call? For many, it wouldn’t be their spouse because they’d freak. This new feature is called “Your One Phone Call”. A listener comes on to tell you who they’d call if they were ever in trouble. You then create a scenario, call that friend on the other line, and sit back to see if the listener’s “one phone call” will help bail then out! It’s great conflict around a relationships-based bit. Remember to not air people without their permission!
WZLX You’d Be Surprised How Little People Know
You know, you’d be surprised how little people know. Which is why we created a feature with Karlson and McKenzie on WZLX, Boston, called (oddly enough) “You’d Be Surprised How Little People Know”. They grab questions culled from today’s news headlines and ask two people, each in separate professions, to see which person knows the least. Here’s the first one we did, a true home run in the fun department.
