Nirvana's 'Nevermind' came out in 1991, when KEXP DJs Riz Rollins and Marco Collins were already playing influential roles in Seattle radio at KCMU and KNDD, respectively. Larry Mizell Jr. talks to Riz and Marco about what it was like being at ground-zero when the album came out and took over the world. They share stories about debuting "Smells Like Teen Spirit" on KEXP (when it was KCMU), the food fight that got Kurt Cobain kicked out of his own party, and finding 'Nevermind' CDs for sale in the French countryside. Plus, how it feels to hear Nirvana's music now.Support the show: https://www.kexp.org/sound/See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Matt Case has been involved in the Seattle music scene since the 1990's. First, as an intern at KNDD, studying and learning under such great talents like Marco Collins. That led to a position with one of the nation's largest concert promoters as a talent buyer working with the biggest names in the music industry. In addition Case added hosting a nationally syndicated music video program, Mainframe Video, to his resume at the same time. Eventually Matt's video program led to other opportunities and he's since been a fixture on the Seattle radio dial, having worked at KLSY 92.5, KKWF 100.7 The Wolf as Fitz's producer, KCMS Spirit 105.3, and most recently in afternoon drive on KRWM/Warm 106.9.
The days of a family convening in front of the television for their daily nightly news from a reputable source is a thing of the past. News, as we know it now, has moved from a product of accountability to a product of entertainment. And the unfolding drama that is fed to reinforce our biases benefits the powerful who intend to maintain control, but not the people who consume the messages. Grab a TV dinner and dig in for an episode of reality radio while we light up and investigate ways to clear our minds to make the world a better place.

Andrew Beckler is the morning host at X92.9 in Calgary. The station is pretty special in that it started nearly 13 years ago, has only had 1 program director in its time, and has been building it's audience since 2007 starting with a Hot Hot Heat concert to ring in the New Year. The station has also had very low staff turnover and developed a culture unlike any other in Canada; comparable only to KNDD 107.7 the Ed in Seattle. Anyhow - more about Andrew... who was raised in Saskatoon and still sports a watermelon hat and a green jersey.There are some incredible smarts to what Andrew and Seanna do every morning. The program director is clearly brilliant and we promise to have him back on the podcast shortly; Seanna has worked at some great stations including my alma mater 1003. The Bear in Edmonton. Then there's the podcast which has blown past 275,000 downloads over 450+ episodes. (Stop doing the math. You know that if you have 600 extra listeners to your show on another platform after 10am you would be fine with it)In this episode you will hear all about what it is like to be a morning personality at Canada's #1 Alternative radio station, what it takes to raise two boys and how wood working has been so helpful to the process.There's more about this episode on our show page!Thanks also to the people who make this show possible every week including:PromosuiteMatt Fogarty VoiceoversJustin Dove at Core Image StudiosMegatraxNLogic
