Kick-Ass Audio Breaks

The Seahawks had a great season in the NFL, even beating reigning Super Bowl Champs, the New Orleans Saints.  To help celebrate, Candy & Potter, on KMPS, Seattle decided to put together, with listeners help, a Pete Carroll Carol.  Just off of Christmas, they re-wrote “The 12 Days of Christmas” as an ode to celebrate the team and coach who took them further than anyone expected (theirs is called “The 12 Days of Seahawks”).  I always ask shows what they are doing with local topics others in the market aren’t.  This is a great example of one that scored on every level.

Games work on morning radio, especially if they have a vicarious element to them, where people listening can play along.  Here’s Karson and Kennedy at MIX 104.1, Boston playing “Jessica Simpson or Homer Simpson” where they read something said by one of them, with the listener having to guess who said it.  They get bonus points because they got audio of everything to add a dimension to make people laugh.  The fun part is that everything they read could be said by either person!
