Karson and Kennedy, MIX 104.1, Boston with Make Your Mess Your Message

I love shows that own their shit!  Some radio talent want to paint the most perfect picture of themselves.  What do listeners want to be around but flawed, human beings.  When you slip and fall, it’s always smart to run towards it for content, as it makes you mortal to them and, like it would happen in real life, draws fans closer.  Take Karson and Kennedy, MIX 104.1, Boston.  Karson had promised in December to attend a local Christmas tree lighting.  As the ceremony started, the organizers called to find out where he was.  He wasn’t even close as he’d forgotten to put it in his calendar.  What did he do on the next show?  Brought them on to apologize.  He owned it, took his beating, his teammates made fun of him, and the organizers let him off the hook.  And the audience loved him even more for all of it.  As the title above suggests, if you have a mess, make that your message.
