WBMX The Ukulele Girl

November 9, 2012

Karson & Kennedy There are a lot of marathons in Boston. Thousands of runners. Kennedy from Karson and Kennedy, MIX 104.1, Boston runs in most of them. Great breaks come from personal experiences and interesting angles. One of them is the weird people who run in these races around Kennedy. Here’s a break with a gal who runs and plays the ukulele at the same time. They had her on and it was engaging because it was from Kennedy’s personal experience and an interesting angle on the topic.

WWFS Romantico

November 4, 2012

Jim & KIm A true focus of the Jim and Kim Show on Fresh 102.7, New York is to be very local. That’s why when there was a big Italian festival in town, they were all over it. But not in a way that just promoted it. They did a fun thing called “Romantico or No Romantico”. With Italian being a romance language, they had someone from the festival on to talk Italian and they and the listeners had to guess if it was romance talk or if they were saying something much less touching. Here are a couple of breaks of its execution.

KSON Plead the Fifth Grade

October 28, 2012

John & Tammy John and Tammy at KSON, San Diego, reflecting on kids going back to school last month, decided to test the honesty of teachers by playing “Plead the Fifth Grade”. They got a fifth grade teacher on and then asked a series of questions escalating in their level of discomfort, to see how honest he’d be with them and the audience. The teacher got one shot to “plead the fifth” and not answer the question.

WNOU Kal Stiffs a Server

October 21, 2012

Kyle & Rachel The very best content comes from the hosts’ real life experiences. Producer Kal on Kyle and Rachel, Radio NOW, Indianapolis, stiffed a waitress on her tip after ordering chicken fingers and not liking her attitude. The morning team called him out and put Kal in the most uncomfortable spot when they “found” the waitress and had her talk to Kal on the show about why he did it.

WPGC Alicia Keys Calls a Record Store

October 14, 2012

The Pablo Show Nothing is better than when a morning show does something fun and innovative that fits its brand image that the competitor wouldn’t think of doing. Alicia Keys is making the rounds to promote her new CD. Pablo and Free on WPGC, Washington not only did the standard Q&A, they had Alicia call a record store as a customer looking for a song she didn’t know the name of or the artist and that all she could do is sing the hook, which she does. Of course, it’s her song! The effort here is spectacular and created a break listeners walked away talking about!
