18

Just wanted to take a moment tonight and thank everyone for their kind words and praise as we marked our 18th anniversary broadcast today. The show was solid throughout. Always good to have Lois Capps in the studio and North County Jim made an interesting debut in the final segment — we’ll have to add him to the regular mix. Looking forward to having Dawn Legg join us on Thursday and Sarah Christie on Friday. The whole week has gone well and I’m appreciative of being able to keep the job.

As I mentioned on the show today, I continue to be grateful for Mardi serving as my producer/call screener. It’s fun to work with her and Mardi brings a different dimension to the show. And I appreciate the support of El Dorado Broadcasters, who clearly believe in the importance of Hometown Radio.

Feel free to suggest any specific topics you would like to see us cover, either on the radio, or on this blog. Always looking for new voices in the studio, so keep us in mind.

I can’t think of a better job to have than to be a radio talk show host. However, there seems to be a major overhaul in the way we get our information now — those newspapers and magazines and books and even television seem to be going by the wayside in favor of all this new media. The average age of a Rush listener is 65. So we have a challenge in 2010 to remain relevant and be the forum for discussion on the Central Coast. That will be my aim. Thank you for all your support — even when we disagree.
