WQYK Garth Brooks Interview

Dave & VeronicaSometimes listing out for the little things can actually make an interview go from good to great.  Waiting for their Garth Brooks interview to start, Dave and Veronica, WQYK, Tampa heard a zipper.  Hmm, I wonder what that is!  They capitalized on hearing it to start the interview, thus setting a silly course to a conversation with the superstar.  In a day when everyone gets the big names, it’s what you do with the interview that sets you apart.  Listen to this terrific, very fun interview they had with Garth.

Did You Press Charges

A fun, new story-based and vicarious feature for the show is called “Did You Press Charges?”  Listeners call with something that once happened to them.  They tell you the story, then as a team, you try to guess if the listener pressed charges.  If the show gets it wrong, the listener wins a prize.  Thanks to The Pablo Show, WPGC, Washington, DC for this idea.

KHTH Drive Thru verses Walk In

Stacey K & JonahThe best content ideas tend to come up when shows and I are just bullshitting on our weekly calls.  A few weeks back, Stacey K and Jonah, HOT 101.7, Santa Rosa, CA were gabbing about how long the drive thru takes when getting coffee in the morning.  So, we decided to test things by going to one and timing waiting in your car to order and pick up your coffee verses going in.  This is relatable content being done in a very memorable way.  It also has an element to it where listeners are glued to the radio to see how it ends, as they’ve considered it before, too.
