Discover Lafayette welcomes Hans Nelsen, known on air as “Fast,” who co-hosts the morning show on Big 102.1 from 6:00 to 10:00 a.m. each weekday with CJ Clements. Pictured are CJ Clements and “Fast” (Hans Nelson), co-hosts of Big 102.1’s Morning Show Hans has been on the air in South Louisiana since 1985, starting as a USL student working the graveyard shift at a new urban contemporary station and going on to serve as on-air talent, program director, account executive, and sales manager at several top local stations. He also spent years as a stadium voice and play-by-play broadcaster, and his career has become intertwined with the story of local broadcasting in Acadiana. Hans was joined by his lifelong friend Sean Trcalek, General Manager of KATC TV-3, who was once known on radio as “Charlie Roberts.” The two reminisce about their early days as radio co-hosts and their lifelong friendship. Early Love of Music and the Magic of Radio Hans grew up in a home filled with very different kinds of music, from German organ to big show tunes, and a little boy's transistor radio became his portal to the wider world of sound. He recalls: “I grew up in a household where my dad listened to German organ music and would play it throughout the house on Sunday afternoons. We had to listen to it whether we wanted to or not. My mom was really into big show tunes. ‘I’m Gonna Wash That Man Right Out of My Hair” and “The Sound of Music.” But his own soundtrack lived on his bike: “As a little boy, I had a transistor radio that I taped to the handlebars of my bike, and I would listen to top 40 in one way or another. 1972.” He loved the Eagles, Fleetwood Mac, and pop hits like “Billy, Don’t Be a Hero.” As he got older, he says, “I really wanted to be a musician, and I wanted to be a singer, and I can’t really do any of that. I can play a little guitar, but radio was this next opportunity, though I didn’t really know you could turn it into a career. I just thought it would be something I did for fun.” Learning Radio on the Graveyard Shift Hans' first job was at an urban contemporary station, Foxy 106.3 (KFXZ). Growing up in New Iberia, he already knew some of the music: “It’s funny, you could be a rock guy, but also listen to the Gap Band and Kool and the Gang.” Even so, he had to go deeper into that catalog for a targeted audience: “This was deeper and a more targeted ethnic audience. But it was a piece of cake, because I loved music.” Being alone on the air at night was intimidating: “Well, I’d listen to so much radio. You try to imitate or emulate Casey Kasem, but I was so terrible. The fact that they let me stay past the first night…It was the middle of the night miracle.” He also remembers the mind games of that lonely studio: “You’re in a room by yourself and you can play mind games because you can either convince yourself that no one hears you, or that everyone’s listening. That one mistake, everybody’s going to hear it.” Hustling Through College Radio and 24-Hour Weekends Still in school, Hans got a weekend job at KVOL (1330 AM) and was quickly recruited by KSMB: “On my second shift, Scott Seagraves called me from KSMB and said, I’m listening to you. Do you want to come work for me?” He was “so hungry” to be on the air that he took on extraordinary hours. ““I would do six to noon on KSMB on Saturday and Sunday, and quickly added noon to six on weekends at KXKW. So, I worked 24 hours in two days and worked at a bar both nights. But I knew that I had the bug, and I turn it into a job!” That building is where he and Sean first truly connected and eventually became a morning team: “And Sean comes into that building, we end up being the morning team and here we are.” https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y1XZVTbmikg Teaming Up with Sean: Voices, Characters, and Parodies Sean came in as a young newsreader, hired to do newscasts in the morning and afternoon. Their chemistry led to a two-man show that blurred the lines between straight news and wild characters. Sean explains: “It started as you and Debbie Ray and me in news. Well, when Debbie left, it was you and me doing news. And I think it was just kind of like. Why do we need a third guy? You know, I still did the newscast, but it was a two man show.” Hans recalls the “credibility issue”: “Sean's doing the ‘17 people were killed today' delivering the news and then he’s doing this crazy voice five minutes later and people knew it was the same guy. But we somehow just moved past that.” The two displayed a gift for spontaneous skits and song parodies: “We both could really rewrite song lyrics. We could make custom versions of big songs at the time. Remember Michael Johnson's ‘Give me wings, gimme wings.” It would end up, “Don’t give me legs. Breasts or thighs!” Hans says the creativity often felt effortless. “What was special about us? A special talent we both had was that there was no prep. We would sometimes do stuff and turn the microphone off. We’d look at each other thinking, that’s good. How did we just do that?” Hans Nelson (‘Fast’) and Sean Trcalek (‘Charlie Roberts’) pictured early in their broadcasting careers on the radio together. They have remained close friends over the decades. Humor, Changing Sensibilities, and Wanting Everyone to Feel Welcome Looking back at their 1980s material, Hans is candid about how much humor standards have changed: “Yeah, it was humor, but let’s just say sensibilities are different, right?” He offered a vivid analogy from pro wrestling to show how certain stereotypes were once normalized and now are not: “The character development in the 70s and 80s was the Iranian guy or the Nazi guy was the bad guy. It was what they did. You just don’t do that now, right?” Hans shared his personal compass: “I always wanted everybody to like me. I need as many listeners as I can get. They don’t have to look like me. They don’t have to vote like me. They don’t have to drive the same kind of car as me. But I want everybody to say, ‘I like listening to that guy on the radio.” Music, Memory, and Nostalgia of Radio For both Hans and Sean, music is deeply emotional and geographically specific; certain songs instantly bring them back to particular corners of their childhoods. Hans shared, “Some songs. What I’ve always been amazed by is when you hear a song and it brings you to a specific place. I mean, like a certain corner in your hometown and you’re like, why am I thinking of that when I hear Sammy John's “Chevy Van?” He offers another vivid memory: “Saturday in the Park by Chicago reminds me of standing in line at Saint Edward’s Catholic School for the cafeteria. I don’t know why.” Becoming “Fast Eddie” and Then Simply “Fast” A big turning point came when KSMB's sister station needed a music director and night disc jockey. The job came with a new name Hans disliked: “They tell me, your name is going to be Fast Eddie.” He tried to negotiate the name away, but wouldn't get the job if he didn't accept the on-air name. KSMB was too big to walk away from: Later, when he was put in charge of a new station and morning show, he pushed to shorten the name: “When we put the morning show on, it was the rude awakening with ‘Fast Eddie and Rob.' We could have done it. It just didn’t sound right. Fast is a speed, not a name, but it ended up being I can’t go anywhere and people yell it out like it’s normal. When I hear Hans, it’s heartwarming. I love being Hans, I wish I could be Hans on air.” The Power and Future of Local Broadcasting Both Hans and Sean describe themselves first and foremost as broadcasters: “What we have always had in common and still have in common is we’re broadcasters. People say, what do you do? I don’t say I’m the general manager of a TV station, or I’m a broadcaster. We’re local broadcasters and we’re passionate about it. We have been since the day we met, and to this day, we’re passionate about the impact that local radio and television can have on a market.” For Hans, that impact includes everything from playing nostalgia-filled music to public service in storms: “By impact, I mean moving people. When you play music, when you tell them what the weather’s going to be like, but also telling people where to go pick up sandbags.” Hans reminds us, “During a hurricane, we’re still the last man standing. TV stations may go down… but I have been on the air during hurricanes when I was the only voice available on the air in this market.” Sean highlights the advocacy role broadcasters have played in keeping AM radio in cars: “We are big advocates, and were successful this past year in advocating that automakers continue to be required to put AM radios in new cars. The reason to keep AM radio is that its infrastructure often remains operational when power grids fail and cell networks are overloaded or damaged, providing a core part of the Emergency Alert System (EAS). During events like hurricanes, AM stations became the primary way people received verified, real-time information, coordinated help, and connected with the outside world when phones and internet were down. They both reject the idea that streaming will wipe out local media: Hans says, “I’ll wrap that up with saying, Satellite radio and Netflix are not going to mean the end of local radio and local TV.” A Morning Show Today: Competing With Phones, Not Just Stations Hans reflects on what it's like doing a local morning show in 2020s Lafayette: “Technologically, it’s very different. Audience participation and reception is very different. We compete with many more things. I believe my biggest competitor in drive time is the telephone.” Listeners no longer call to check school closures, they get texts, but live local radio still plays a crucial role, especially in emergencies. Hans and his long-time friend CJ now host a show built on deep local roots: “We put this show together with almost a hundred years of Lafayette radio experience in one room for four hours a morning. There’s nothing that has happened here since the 60s that we don’t know about. We know where every street is. We know where the schools are. We know it. To me, it is a gift.” Big 102.1 has embraced app listening while staying “radio-first”: “On big 102.1, we've had over 1,000,000 hours of listening on our app. We’re still a radio station first. So if that many people are listening, that’s why we’re still effective… we do everything we can to stay connected to the audience, to do relevant things, provide relevant content and make it fun.” Voice of the Ragin' Cajuns From 2009 to 2017, Hans served as the stadium voice for UL Lafayette football and basketball, a role that grew out of his lifelong fandom: “I was such a fan. I was a Ragin Cajun as a kid. I wasn’t an LSU kid or a Tulane kid. It was USL.” Eventually, security protocols and family priorities pushed him to step away so he could watch games in the stands with his daughter: “Because of security protocol, she could not come in the press box. So when it was my weekend, I lost the whole Saturday and I said I would rather be in the stands with her watching the game.” His last act as stadium voice was a memorable one: “So my last duty was to introduce Billy Napier as the head coach. And I resigned that day.” Christian's Story, Organ Donation, and a Legacy of Life In one of the most moving parts of our conversation, Hans shares the story of his son Christian, who died after a workplace accident in 2013. Christian fell from a picker truck in a warehouse, and although doctors did everything they could, the injury was catastrophic. “He fell 20 feet. When you say 20 feet, you think broken ankle, maybe broken arm, but somehow, on the way down, his feet hit the forklift and flipped him. And he landed on his head.” At the hospital, after a brief brain surgery, the doctor came in and said, “Call your family.” When representatives from Louisiana Organ Procurement Agency arrived, Hans initially felt overwhelmed and resistant: “I’m like, heck no, I’m dealing with too much.” His ex-wife, Jenn, reminded him of Christian's own wishes when he got his license. “She said he would want to do it because he asked about it when he got his driver’s license.” That decision changed everything; “I realized he was going to save somebody’s life. We ended up saving four lives and it was life changing for us.” Christian's heart went to a teenage male that had been waiting for a heart for 18 months with time running out. Christian's right kidney and pancreas went to a female in her 30s. His liver went to a female in her 40s, and his left kidney went to a little boy. His corneas were donated, which gave sight to 2 people. Hans began speaking to civic groups and driver's ed classes about organ donation: “We would tell kids at Driver’s Ed like, they’re going to ask you about this when you get your license, you should know what it means. Most people can’t be an organ donor, even if they want to. You have to die a certain way.” He and Jenn started the Christian's Legacy Foundation to create awareness of the importance of organ donation and to provide support to donor families. Stories of other young donors continue to touch him deeply: “All these years later, those stories touch me in a different way. And I would not have read that story the same way had I not gone through that.” Is Broadcasting Still a Good Career? Asked if he would still recommend a career in broadcasting, Hans doesn't hesitate, though he acknowledges the landscape has changed: “I’m always going to recommend a career in broadcast. Sean explains that media sales in particular remain a strong path, even as technology and products evolve: “Your competition is different. Your products might be different. But of all we do, that’s probably changed the least.” There are fewer jobs, but better pay and more efficiency: “KATC had 100 employees not long ago. Our building was built for 120 people and we’ve got 52 now. And it’s not just because of efficiencies. Our cameras are robotic now Hans still longs to see young people with the same hunger he and Sean had: “I would love to see some young person who was like me or Sean who was willing to work 24 hours in two days when I was at KSMB. They fired the janitor, and for nine months I cleaned the building every night after I did my show, because I wanted them to see that I was willing to do anything to make it. And that’s not beneath me.” Through stories of late-night graveyard shifts, irreverent morning shows, hurricane coverage, stadium announcing, heartbreaking loss, and renewed purpose, Hans Nelson, “Fast,” reminds us why local broadcasting still matters. As he and Sean put it, they are, above all, local broadcasters, passionate about “the impact that local radio and television can have on a market” and the ways music, stories, and community can move people.

The United States may have an official day of gratitude every November with Thanksgiving, but for many of us, most every day could be a day of appreciation. A sincere "thank you" is rewarding for everyone: It feels good to say it and it feels good to hear it. However, appreciation can be complicated and "thank you" may come with a twist. Sometimes we're grateful (in hindsight, at least) for the lessons we've learned from difficult people. Sometimes we feel generalized happiness for family and/or friends. Sometimes we're just thankful to no one in particular that we're happy for no reason in particular. And of course sometimes expressions of gratitude are just a cover for dark feelings. In this episode of "How We Heard It" your hosts sift through an array of old and new songs that directly or indirectly express gratitude. Artists include Ariana Grande, Harry Styles, The Kinks, Sly and the Family Stone, The Beatles, Big Star, Natalie Merchant, Taylor Swift, Bob Hope, Elton John, Louis Armstrong, Rihanna, Gwen Stefani, The Beach Boys, Backstreet Boys, Alanis Morissette, James Taylor, Small Faces, Kool & the Gang, U2, Spice Girls, Boyz II Men and many more. Thanks for listening!

Send us a textIn this episode of Marketing Espresso, I'm joined by Asthaar Kool to talk about one of the most powerful parts of business - positioning. It's that invisible thread that determines whether people instantly get what you do, or scroll past your brand entirely.Asthaar explains that product positioning helps people choose you, while brand positioning helps them stay. Together, they form the foundation of everything you do in marketing & sales.We explore the difference between positioning & messaging, why clarity always beats cleverness, and how businesses can identify what truly makes them stand out. Asthaar shares real-world examples, including the famous muffin vs cake story that perfectly illustrates how a simple change in context completely shifts perception, pricing, and audience.We also dive into the practical side of repositioning - collecting customer feedback, defining your top three strengths, understanding your audience's mindset, and refining how you talk about your product or service. Asthaar shares how your website, your sales process, and even your tone of voice all reflect your positioning whether you realise it or not.We discuss common mistakes - like pretending to be bigger than you are, leading with vague promises e.g “save time” or “increase revenue,” or using trendy buzzwords like AI without a real differentiator.Key takeaway: Being clear beats being clever every single time. People buy what they understand, not what sounds fancy.Action step: Audit your brand & website. Can someone who's never heard of you understand what you do, who you help, & why it matters within five seconds? If not, it's time to revisit your positioning. Be specific, stay curious, & keep listening to your customers - because their feedback is your best data.Connect with Asthaar:websiteInstagramDOWNLOAD MY CONTENT PLANNER - https://becchappell.com.au/content-planner/Instagram @bec_chappellLinkedIn – Bec Chappell If you're ready to work together, I'm ready to work with you and your team.How to work with me:1.

Kool and the Gang is an American R&B, Soul, and funk band popular in the 1960s.

Meet Monica and David Kowalski, the husband-and-wife duo behind Colorado Springs' beloved Lebowski's Tap Room and the award-winning premium coffee liqueur, Lebowski's Kool-Luah. What started as Monica's dad's cherished family recipe has evolved into a craft liqueur that's earning rave reviews and found its way on Uncle Brad's shelf as his favorite coffee liqueur.  The Kowalskis share the heartwarming story of how endless compliments on the family recipe led them to take the leap from restaurateurs to craft distilling, creating a coffee liqueur that truly stands apart from the crowd. With its stunning mid-century atomic era bottle design that perfectly captures The Big Lebowski's laid-back aesthetic, this isn't your typical coffee liqueur—it's a premium experience that even has Uncle Brad declaring it his new go-to expression.  Monica and David guide listeners through their signature Hot Honey Espresso Martini, just one of the many creative coffee cocktails served at their taproom alongside an impressive array of White Russian variations. The conversation dives into the fascinating history of coffee liqueur, exploring how Lebowski's Kool-Luah builds upon the legacy of coffee liqueur pioneers while carving out its own unique identity in the spirits world.  The episode wraps up with invaluable advice from the Kowalskis on elevating your home bartending game, sharing how they've translated lessons from the corporate world about consistency and quality control into both their restaurant operations and their craft liqueur production. Whether you're a devoted White Russian, Espresso Martini enthusiast, or curious about the craft distilling world, this episode serves up the perfect blend of entrepreneurial spirit, cocktail craftsmanship, and that distinctly chill Lebowski vibe.  Lebowski's Kool-Luah Website: www.lebowskiskoolluah.com   IG: @lebowskis_koolluah  Lebowski's Taproom  Website: www.Lebowskistaproom.com  IG: @lebowskistaproom  Address: 3240 Centennial Blvd, Colorado Springs, CO 80907 The Art of Drinking  IG: @theartofdrinkingpodcast   Website: www.theartofdrinkingpodcast.com   Join Jules  IG: @join_jules  TikTok: @join_jules   Website: joinjules.com   Uncle Brad   IG: @favorite_uncle_brad    This is a Redd Rock Music Podcast  IG: @reddrockmusic  www.reddrockmusic.com Learn more about your ad choices.

Episode 199: Fall Faves, Salute To Mark Volman September 19, 2025 Here's another Tales Vinyl Tells for ya.  High, hello and welcome back to more of that great album rock of the 60s & 70s along with (sometimes) tunes on either sides of those decades. It's almost fall here in middle Tennessee and Nashville.  Summer is winding down and it's been one hot mothuh, and not in a good way.  The dogwoods have put out their little green pods which have grown into bigger red pods, and the season will change soon.  It's on the way.  Today's hour includes some songs about fall and there's also my statement about the mess in these United States with a lying evil fascist in our White House.  They bricked over the Rose Garden and there's so much gaudy fake gold nugget accents in the Oval they should offer barf bags at the door.  No more spray paint, ok??  And he wants a Nobel Prize and wants to name the Beloved Kennedy Center after himself or her.  What a flabby gas bag.  I can't stand this guy, the Russian asset, ruining not running the US.  He's the Master of Disaster, the dark lord (thinks he's God, more like the antiChrist).  The first set goes out to Capt Bonespurs.  That's my rant for today.  Mark Volman of the Turtles has entered the room next door, we remember him. and I've got a new one from Neil Young in this first set.  You'll like this one!

Robert “Kool” Bell is more than just a name in music history — he's the steady heartbeat behind one of the most enduring funk, soul, and R&B bands of all time: Kool & The Gang. Born in Youngstown, Ohio, Robert grew up in a musical household that would shape his destiny. When the family moved to New Jersey, he and his brother Ronald Bell — later known as Khalis Bayyan — began experimenting with music as teenagers. They first formed a jazz-influenced group called the Jazziacs in 1964, bringing together local friends who shared a love for tight grooves, horn-driven melodies, and improvisation.As the '60s rolled into the '70s, the Jazziacs evolved into Kool & The Gang — a name that reflected Robert's cool, confident persona and the collective energy of the band. Bell's bass lines became the foundation of their sound: deep, rhythmic, and endlessly danceable. Their music didn't fit neatly into one box — it was a fusion of jazz sophistication, funk grit, and R&B warmth. That genre-blending approach would prove to be their secret weapon in crossing musical and cultural boundaries.Kool & The Gang's early years were built on relentless gigging and honing their live performance skills. They became a powerhouse act on the club circuit before breaking into the mainstream with hits like “Jungle Boogie” and “Hollywood Swinging” in the early '70s. Bell's bass was front and centre, locking in with the drums to create the irresistible rhythms that would become the band's trademark. By the late '70s and early '80s, Kool & The Gang had perfected their party anthem formula. Songs like “Celebration,” “Get Down On It,” and “Ladies' Night” became global smashes, cementing their place on dance floors around the world.Robert “Kool” Bell wasn't just the bandleader — he was its anchor. His leadership helped navigate the group through lineup changes, shifting musical trends, and the unpredictable turns of the industry. While many bands faded after their initial burst of fame, Kool & The Gang adapted and thrived, appealing to multiple generations of fans. Their music found new life through sampling in hip-hop and R&B, exposing their grooves to entirely new audiences.Recognition came in waves. Kool & The Gang earned two Grammy Awards, seven American Music Awards, and were inducted into the Songwriters Hall of Fame. They've sold over 70 million albums worldwide, and their tracks have been featured in countless films, commercials, and TV shows. Through it all, Robert “Kool” Bell remained a visible and active figure, still performing live well into the 21st century.Bell's nickname “Kool” wasn't just a stage name — it reflected his calm presence, stylish demeanor, and ability to keep the band grounded. Off stage, he's been involved in philanthropic work and entrepreneurial ventures, including a line of French wines inspired by his international travels. Yet, no matter the project, music has always been at the core of his life.Today, Robert “Kool” Bell stands as a symbol of endurance in the music industry. From basement jam sessions in New Jersey to sold-out arenas around the globe, his journey is one of passion, persistence, and an unshakable groove. Kool & The Gang's catalogue continues to inspire — not just because of the songs themselves, but because of the spirit Bell infused into every note. His story is a reminder that true legends aren't just made by hits; they're made by the dedication to keep the music alive for decades.For fans, Robert “Kool” Bell isn't just the man who played the bass — he's the reason Kool & The Gang has remained one of the most celebrated bands in funk, R&B, and soul history. And as long as there's a party to start, a dance floor to fill, or a crowd to move, you can bet that somewhere, Robert “Kool” Bell will still be laying down the groove.I hope you'll enjoy our chat today with Robert 'Kool'Bell.

Step inside the velvet-lit world of Discothèque Decadence — where the champagne flows, the bassline smoulders, and the dancefloor becomes an irresistible spell. This set drips with the kind of late-night heat that keeps bodies moving and eyes locked. From Da Lukas & Majuri's extended temptation of “Nasty Girl”, to a hypnotic reimagining of Eurythmics' “Sweet Dreams” via Steve Angello, to my own Out of Control edit of Laura Branigan's “Self Control” — every track here has been polished for maximum seduction. You'll glide through Sade's “Paradise” given fresh life by Mark Lower & Alexandra Prince, a honeyed spin on A Taste of Honey's “Boogie Oogie Oogie”, the shimmering disco mischief of KC & The Sunshine Band in an Eric Kipper extended ride, and Kool & The Gang's “Fresh” reinvented with OnDaMike's club-ready punch. Along the way, Séamus Haji & Kathy Brown, Ken@Work, Shabi, HP Vince, Groovemasta, Chewy Rubs, Eugenio Fico & Walterino, Micky More & Andy Tee, Greg Wilson and more deliver heaters you think you know… until they arrive dressed for midnight. Warm. Sexy. Sultry. Dangerous. The sound of a dancefloor you never want to leave. Press play… and don't say I didn't warn you.
