The year was 1971.
Change was in the air for this 13 year old boy and one of my two brothers gave me "I Think We're All Bozos On this Bus" by the Firesign Theatre. Little did I think then, nor now, how four car pitchmen could change a boy's future.
Over twenty years of radio broadcasting taught me one thing; Don't assume the phone is not hooked up to a broadcast transmitter, even though you can make a normal call on it without hearing the broadcast.
Almost forty years after realizing there was something called 'Radio Theater' out there (and it is currently as popular as Chaucer to a poodle), I finally made my dream come true of a place where I can create, perform, edit and produce radio theater.
