GOOD THINGS HAPPEN TO GOOD PEOPLE
Former KCBS/Bay Area newsman, Marty Lenz is part of the morning drive news duo in Denver, KOA (with co-news host, April Zesbaugh) --actually, it's been almost a year and a half (time flies) --I've listened to Marty and he's as steady as ever.
"I love it here," says Lenz over the telephone, "just a great place to live and work."
Lenz usually worked the overnight at KCBS and I always enjoyed his no-nonsense delivery and easy pace. It was especially evident during breaking news stories --Lenz could do one spectacular interview after another, something foreign to the local news front.
*ONCE AGAIN, John Rothmann was appointment listening on KGO Radio Monday Night as the latest Trump circus act broke. The Kurds/Turkey conflict is far too complex to argue but the topic brought out heavy-duty caller response on Rothmann's KGO show.

Rothmann, I criticize his policy but having listened long enough to his programs he is genuinely interested in providing both sides ample time. Sometimes, to a point, too nice and forgiving --but it's all genuine and at the end of the program, you feel as if you've had a three-hour lecture, give-and-take at Berkeley. Entertaining caller-driven, talk-radio, en fuego.
he's genuinely interested in letting both sides speak? who cares? there's literally a conman in the White House who is giving license to racist, xenophobes, homophobes, and every aspect of hate in this country. and you're excited that he's letting them voice their opinion? i've heard his show for years! he's a complete bore! and the reason he gives them a voice because no one is calling KGO and because he's isn't nimble enough, or interesting enough, to take on these whack jobs. he learned how to be polite at the dinner table with the silver spoons, and now that's his radio show. no one cares and no one listens to that albatross.
ReplyDeleteSpeak for yourself. John gets lots of callers, he is very knowledgeable about politics and history, especially Presidential history, he is also very intelligent. So I guess if you don't like either you would find him boring, I appreciate that he lets callers on who disagree with him, it might be the first time someone has challenged their opinion. If the listen to Hannity or Rush the will only get one side of the issue. Which is Trump is great the left are evil liars etc. Now that is boring.
ReplyDeletemy professors did all that and i'm sure they wouldn't make great radio hosts! KGO IS DDDDDDDDDDEAD. i don't even know the last time i turned on the AM dial at this point.
