and I wish my kids would get into radio. How
did you get into radio?
Speaker 2 (34:54):
Well, I wrote a book, a book on cartoons. That
book got me on with Norm Nathan. Norm Nathan used
to work at HDH doing an overnight show during the week,
and on Saturday night he did trivia and he had
a quarter of everyday people that rotated every week, every
(35:17):
two weeks, every three weeks, and they used my books,
so they also used me on that show. Norm left
in September of nineteen eighty and he went to Wyko
to do mornings over there, and I asked Norm if
he minded if I tried to keep the show alive.
He said, no, Morgan, go for it. He told me
(35:37):
how to find a station, the word broker if you
want to do your own show and pay for it.
And I figured, Hey, if that's what it takes, I
will I get a few sponsors so they didn't have
to pay for the whole thing. But I get lucky.
I get a radio show on w u n R,
(36:02):
and I was on that show starting in October, every
Sunday night, two am to four am. I got that
show on fifteen to ten WITS. There was a baseball
strike spring of eighty one and its needed programming to
(36:23):
fill in all the hours that would have been filled
up by the Red Sox. I got on. I stayed
on that station even after the strike was settled. And
I went from that station to WHDH and the rest
is history. That's my story. Oh I hear a child back.
(36:47):
How old is the child?
Speaker 11 (36:49):

and I wish my kids would get into radio. How
did you get into radio?
Speaker 2 (34:54):
Well, I wrote a book, a book on cartoons. That
book got me on with Norm Nathan. Norm Nathan used
to work at HDH doing an overnight show during the week,
and on Saturday night he did trivia and he had
a quarter of everyday people that rotated every week, every
(35:17):
two weeks, every three weeks, and they used my books,
so they also used me on that show. Norm left
in September of nineteen eighty and he went to Wyko
to do mornings over there, and I asked Norm if
he minded if I tried to keep the show alive.
He said, no, Morgan, go for it. He told me
(35:37):
how to find a station, the word broker if you
want to do your own show and pay for it.
And I figured, Hey, if that's what it takes, I
will I get a few sponsors so they didn't have
to pay for the whole thing. But I get lucky.
I get a radio show on w u n R,
(36:02):
and I was on that show starting in October, every
Sunday night, two am to four am. I got that
show on fifteen to ten WITS. There was a baseball
strike spring of eighty one and its needed programming to
(36:23):
fill in all the hours that would have been filled
up by the Red Sox. I got on. I stayed
on that station even after the strike was settled. And
I went from that station to WHDH and the rest
is history. That's my story. Oh I hear a child back.
(36:47):
How old is the child?
Speaker 11 (36:49):
She's two and a half.

love of her family. Thank you, John, Thank you for calling.
