MOJO FInd Out From the Best Man

September 8, 2013

Terrific radio is story-based. Tell yours, then ask the listeners to their theirs. Stories are relatable and have twists and turns and moments of unpredictability that draw listeners in. In this simple break of phones, Mojo in the Morning, Channel 95.5, Detroit asked listeners what they learned about a happy couple from a best man.

KSON John’s Mom on The Pope

September 1, 2013

John & Tammy One of the smartest things a show can do is make stars of their family members. It’s rare that we get a new Pope. More rare when an anchor calls his mom to see how it’s playing at her local church. In this clip from John and Tammy, KSON, San Diego, John checks in with his mother to find out the scuttlebutt at her place of worship.

WGFB Declan Turns Five

August 25, 2013

Sean & Michelle One way to bond with women is to talk about kids. An easy concept, right? Sean Henry, Lite Rock B103, Rockford, IL is the master. Sean’s son Declan just turned five. To celebrate, he played The Pyramid with his son. The category was things in fives. Way too cute. And women walk away loving Sean even more for being a great father.

WNOW Food Porn

August 18, 2013

Ty Bentli We needed a simple, quick benchmark for an early hour of Ty Loves New York, on 92.3 NOW, New York City. Enter “Food Porn” where Bryan the Phone Screener and a listener talk very suggestively about an item they recently ate, attempting to make the other person laugh. It sounds dirty, but it isn’t.

KFGY Luke Bryant’s Dad

August 11, 2013

Rob & Joss You must love a morning show that thinks outside the proverbial box. Approaching Father’s Day in June, Rob and Joss, Froggy 92.9, Santa Rosa, CA had a grand idea. Luke Bryant is one of country’s biggest artists right now. With the holiday upcoming that week, they found his father who offered up a unique take on the star. This is radio genius because no one else in the market thought to do it.
