Like most WQAM listeners, my sister Ruth and I were just a couple of regular school kids, Baby Boomers born in October 1951 and January 1955, respectively.

Wednesday, Friday, and S...

That February, celebrating 25 years after The Beatles’ first trip to America, I’d written and produced a three-hour special edition of “The Lost Lennon T...
Reverend Jonathan Goble (sometimes called Jonathan Scobie), an American Free Baptist minister and missionary to Japan, is said to have invented the rickshaw around 1869 to transport his invalid wife through the streets of Yokohama.
What a great time for a kid to get started in radio,” says Rick Shaw. Four years later, in 1960, he arrived in South Florida and fell in love. “Man this is paradise,” he recalled thinking, “what ever I am going to do with my life I am going to do it here.”
