Radio For Patriots by Patriots Show Log For Monday, June 20, 2011

RC Collins from Bradley Military Academy was on to pay his respects to Ryan Dunn, one of the stars of the “Jackass” film and TV series, who died Monday in an car crash. For RC, the death of Mr. Dunn resonates for his generation “like the death of Princess Diana did for yours. It takes real guts to stand there and let someone kick you straight in the testicles” proclaimed RC.Don Parsley joined Phil in Hour 2 to talk about his father dying…..on Father’s Day. Actually, Don “pulled the plug” on his dad, against his dad’s wishes, so the man wouldn’t wind up “looking like Terri Schiavo” and so Don could get some press on the “Father’s Day angle.”

FISHBOWL LA: Schizophrenic Radio Host Phil Hendrie Masters the Web

FISHBOWL LA

RADIO-DISPATCHED

Schizophrenic Radio Host Phil Hendrie Masters the Web

By Richard Horgan on June 10, 2011 11:30 AM

As far as FishbowlLA is concerned, no amount of praise for LA radio host Phil Hendrie is too much. His wacky cavalcade of characters is a supremely entertaining 21st century echo of everything from San Francisco’s Firesign Theater to UK’s The Goon Show.

 

The latest journalist to chime in with a Hendrie huzzah is OC Register radio beat columnistGary Lycan. In the spring LA Arbitron ratings, Hendrie’s KTLK 1150 AM weeknight show(with Saturday nights companion broadcast on KFI 640 AM) is the number one spoken word program among listeners ages 12 through 54. But it’s what Hendrie has done with his website in recent years that’s truly impressive:

Hendrie took matters into his own hands with his website. He’s doing podcasts, videocasts, webisodes, and making available his archived shows – all for a subscription fee. “I am exploiting new media, not relying on radio. It’s financially more profitable because people are paying me money. I am doing a better job selling “The Phil Hendrie Show” than anything Mel Karmazin (Sirius XM) has done.”

Hendrie also keeps busy with feature film and TV voiceover work. Listen for him in the 2012 Fox TV animated series version of Napoleon Dynamite.
