Jimmy Fink has one of radio's most storied careers. It includes legendary call letters like WHFS, WPLJ (when it was an AOR station), WXRK (K-Rock, the station where Howard Stern worked in the 90's through to Sirius) and now 107.1 The Peak. It is also the station that brought Jimmy back to radio after he left it in the late 90's.In this episode you will hear about Jimmy's early days in radio, how he led his family business for a brief period in the 90's, why he left WPLJ, and what it was like to follow Howard Stern. We also dig into what makes the Peak a compelling listen, and why the station has quietly grown a world wide audience. Finally, no 2023 interview would be complete without discussing what impact the pandemic had on Jimmy's work. (Spoiler: He doesn't feel a need to go back to the studio)It was an earlier episode with Arielle Nissenblatt that conjured up memories of this cool station I would listen to on my trips down I-87 into New York. Arielle grew up listening to the station and contributes a question as well.This show is made possible every week by contributors like:Blurve: A great way to help you prep your Show.NLogic: TV & radio advertising and audience data solutionsMegatrax - Licensed Music for your radio station or podcast production company.A transcript of this episode is available hereSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Bob Waugh's radio career brought him to the best of the best radio stations at the perfect time. When the excitement of New Wave first struck New York in the 80s, Bob was spinning records at "Dare To Be Different" WLIR on Long Island, just outside New York City. In the early 90s, when Alternative music became pop music, Bob was in charge at WHFS in Washington DC. He recently wrapped up the "first leg" of his career at WRNR in Annapolis, where he was able to play his favorite classic songs while still letting listeners in on new music discovery. Bob steps into our virtual studio to talk about the crazy turns his career has taken, and then we all settle in to talk about the year 1985, and songs #50 to #41 on the KROQ year-end chart.

If you've lived in the Washington area for a while, you've heard Bob Timm's voice. WHFS a few years back, introducing lots and lots of live bands, and now at WRNR in Annapolis. Like me, Rob has traveled the music road, we've both provided sound reinforcement behind a mixer for live music, and we both love what we do. Speaking with my friend reminded me how important community is right now, and that includes local radio, which helps hold together the fabric of our community.

Welcome to The Main Thing Podcast and another dose of wisdom. I'm your host, Skip Lineberg. I am delighted to introduce you to my special guest, Mike Stotsky. Mike Stotsky thrives on creating uniquely memorable experiences. Whether that's an experience tailored for his family, friends or clients, it almost always involves music. This father of three presently works for New York-based brand storytelling agency INVNT. He also embodies experience gained with media companies and other prominent ad agencies. Mike began his career in radio with Washington - Baltimore  powerhouse WHFS. What captured his heart and imagination most strongly during those days were fairs and festivals that brought diverse groups together to share music & experiences. Mike Stotsky took that passion and parlayed it into a long, successful career in event marketing and sponsorships. Today, those events are morphing from synchronous, face-to-face events to shared virtual experiences, on an ever-wider range of platforms … and  some that blend both real-time and virtual. Over the next nine minutes, you will discover why Mike Stotsky is one of the wisest people I know.   Follow the musical tastes of Mike Stotsky on Spotify.
