We're shining the spotlight on our sound engineer extraordinaire, Howard Steele. Back in January 1977, Howard had not one, but two Top Ten hits—Leo Sayer's “You Make Me Feel Like Dancing” at #1 and Burton Cummings' (Guess Who) “Stand Tall” at #10. Howard shares some fantastic stories in this episode: ✨ How a nosy neighbor's complaint led him and Richard Perry to create the legendary Studio 55. ✨ Getting the call from Richard—“We're recording Manhattan Transfer, with Jim Keltner and Ringo Starr on dual drums.” His reaction? “Way cool!” ✨ The unforgettable moment when Richard called him up to the front desk… and handed him his very first Gold Record. Come listen as Howard takes us back to his incredible Top Ten days! And a big shoutout to the Self Storage Association on its fabulous 50th Anniversary Show—a Las Vegas–style celebration done right.
Live Conversation Spotlight: THE Jenny Bortman! On the first Saturday in August, we went live with the one and only Jenny Bortman, CIC — a dynamo, a blast to hang out with, and a business powerhouse. As President of Universal Insurance Programs, Jenny works across multiple industries beyond her self-storage sweet spot, giving UIP a unique and versatile underwriting edge. But Jenny's not all about insurance — she's got a romantic streak in her music taste! We built her playlist, “Jenny's Jewels,” featuring gems like Everything I Do (I Do It for You) by Bryan Adams, Layla by Eric Clapton, Raise Your Glass by Pink, and I Gotta Feeling by the Black Eyed Peas. Thanks to listeners in 3,000+ cities and 95 countries, we're gearing up to celebrate 8 years on September 24th! Check out Part 1 of the interview with Jenny here: https://lnkd.in/evQV8s6D

With only 800,000 people spread across 665,000 square miles, Alaska lives large, and so does its music! We put this week's show together inspired by its untamed beauty, cool people, and the wildlife that roams free.

Studio Spotlight: A Chat with Tracy Stephens! What an incredible time we had in the studio with Tracy Stephens—a 71-year-old powerhouse taking on an 8,600-mile bike ride to raise funds for the American Cancer Society! His story, determination, and love for **rock 'n' roll** left us absolutely inspired. Tracy's ride is nothing short of legendary, proving that age is just a number when it comes to making a difference. This is a fight that touches us all, and we're so honored to help spotlight his mission. The full show featuring Tracy's story, his favorite tunes, and all the behind-the-scenes fun will be posted **soon** on Radio Wilder's YouTube channel. Stay tuned—this one's not to be missed!
