Tafrow’s Neighbor on Halloween

November 6, 2011

Bill Tafrow, the news guy on B101, Philadelphia’s Tiffany & Michael morning show is a first time homeowner. This was his first official Halloween having a house. Which compelled us to talk to neighbors to “coordinate forces” for the big candy giveaway. Bill has a very self-depracating sense of humor. Listen as the neighbor pokes fun at Bill, and what great character definition comes out of this chat.

Steve Kemble

Gene & Julie For the record, I am not a big fan of Hollywood reports. I’ve just seen too many listeners comment on how the information is ripped off from TMZ or Perez Hilton’s website (whether it’s true or not, that’s their general perception). The goal of a show’s Hollywood report should not be to convey information (especially information any listener can now get on their smart phone), but to entertain the audience. Here’s Steve Kemble, America’s sassiest lifestyle guru on KVIL, Dallas’s Gene and Julie. Steve is a howl – it’s not the stories Steve covers, but how he covers them (total fun) that makes listeners want to come back the next day for more!

Thrown Back, Throw Down

October 23, 2011

Like many shows, Mojo in the Morning on Channel 95.5 plays some throw back music each Friday. Besides playing the tunes, the team also plays the “Throw Back, Throw Down” game. Listeners choose a show member to play on their behalf. Mojo then plays the first second of a throw back song. The first show member to buzz in and identify the song wins a point for the listener en-route to a prize. It’s lots of fun and you really get the playful chemistry of this team.

The Rickey Smiley Morning Show The syndicated Rickey Smiley Morning Show out of Atlanta is one of the quirkiest shows you will ever hear. In this clip, Rickey and his team call the front desk to welcome the new receptionist to the station. She is a minority hire – she has no hands! Listen as they talk with her and note that even though this is a total put on (and the audience knows this), they are smart in that they never make mock this character directly, which makes it funnier.

WZLX “Words Kevin’s Mother Mangles”

October 9, 2011

Kevin Karlson, from Karlson & McKenzie, WZLX, Boston, is always making fun of his mom. In this break, Kevin pokes fun at and creates a game only he can do with listeners, over how his mother mangles words in the English language. Using your relatives is always smart…even better if you do something with them that’s unique and playful.
