James Dewees ,

Easy Listening for a Curious Mind

Keith is an inquisitive and thoughtful gift to the radio industry. Always enjoyed his creative, “outside the boom-box” content and this podcast is no exception. The stories he captures are lighthearted and fun for every type of listener. I especially enjoyed the story Michael Heidemann shared about thumb wrestling Lou Ferrigno. Thanks for creating such an enjoyable podcast! Keep ‘em coming!
