It started when a co-worker said some “radio guy” didn’t believe Carl Click was my real name— he believed it was made up for effect. That lead to a call-in from me, and a fun relationship with The Rick Emerson Show on the Portland airwaves. The guy’s mind went a mile-a-minute with knowledge of pop culture, the nerd world, and “snark.” (his word) I became a frequent in-studio guest and had the honor of hosting The Rick Emerson Roast at the Crystal Ball Room— quite out of my comfort zone but a blast. (If there had been any recordings on the internet, I might have been called into a few offices at KATU. ) Rick started in radio in eastern Washington helping people find lost pets and livestock, he ended up with an immensely loyal audience in Portland for more than a decade. Lately his voice has been the written word. I wonder if he types as fast as he talks.
