    J Mack Slaughter, MD

    I am going to be incredibly transparent today. Today is a day that I dread every single year as it is a reminder of the worst day of my life. The day I lost my best friend, my confidant, my biggest supporter and role model. My dad. Being able to have the Kidd Kraddick Legacy Month on @klupodcast has been incredibly emotional yet cathartic. These conversations have given me something to look forward to instead of that feeling of impending doom that I usually feel so I’m incredibly grateful to be sharing these with you all. My dad was known for his humor, creativity and kindness but as we’ve discussed in previous episodes, Kidd had a talent for finding and cultivating young talent. So it was no surprise that what started out as a radio bit that resembled “Making The Band” turned into an actual real boy band that opened for major artists like Janet Jackson and Destiny’s Child. Dr. J Mack Slaughter was the youngest member of that band and someone I have known since I was a little girl completely enamored with all the boys in the band that my dad created. J Mack’s journey with Sons of Harmony led him to LA where he was incredibly successful, landing numerous television shows and a movie with Kenan Thompson. Even though he was at the top of his game, J Mack felt incredibly unfulfilled so after some soul searching, he left his life in LA to move back to Texas. To pursue a career in emergency medicine. Betcha didn’t see that one coming! J credits my dad for his career in medicine and we had the most beautiful conversation about my dad’s impact on him. To make things even more full circle, my dad’s death brought us both back to music, playing together for numerous gigs benefiting Kidd’s Kids or just for fun with my old band CC & the Dad Bods. 😂 Speaking of Kidd’s Kids, J Mack is now one of the physicians that attends our trip in November every year. Although J Mack is an accomplished doctor with a huge social media following, with his own nonprofit organization and a family of his own with three incredible children, I will always remember him as the incredibly generous and earnest sixteen year old. Backstage at Jingle Ball at Six Flags, sitting down with a ten year old, four eyed little girl at craft services. J Mack and I are connected in so many ways at this point, my dad made sure that he would always be in my life in some capacity. Another example of how my dad is still protecting me and for that I’m extremely grateful. I hope you all enjoy.   A Ten90 Media Production. Copyright © 2022 Ten90 Media. All rights reserved.

    Kellie Rasberry

    I have been working over the last few months on a very special project to commemorate and celebrate the beautiful legacy of my dad, in honor of the 10 year anniversary of his passing on July 27th. For the whole month, the Keep Looking Up podcast is dedicated to interviewing people who knew him intimately and were inspired by him.  I’ve had many full circle moments while doing this podcast but this interview with Kellie Rasberry takes the cake. The way I see it, without Kellie there would be no Kidd. That famous Kraddick Rasberry chemistry was tangible to everyone who listened. It was usually a rollercoaster of roasting, pushing each other’s buttons in a way only they knew how and some tender moments. Like when Kellie told my dad that he was so hard to shop for that she was going to bring back his mother from the dead for Christmas 😂 Kellie has been on the Kidd Kraddick Morning Show for 29 years. To have a career that long in such a mercurial industry is impressive but being on the same show for 29 years is almost unheard of. We conducted this interview in my dad’s radio studio that he moved into in 2001, where the show still continues over two decades later and I got to stand in his spot and interview his “work wife.” It doesn’t get much more full circle than that.  We had a very candid and cathartic discussion and I think y’all are going to love it. Thank you Kellie, for everything! A Ten90 Media Production. Copyright © 2022 Ten90 Media. All rights reserved.
