As your host, Patrick, I'm wrapping up in the warmth of your messages and support on Pat's Peeps. Venturing past the surface of radio broadcasting, we pay tribute to the titans like Rush Limbaugh and Morton Downey Jr., who've left indelible marks on the industry. We'll also traverse Sacramento's radio landscape, nodding to Tony Cox and Big Jim Hall's indomitable spirits that once energized our local airwaves. And as technology shapes our present, we muse over its impact on radio's intimate charm and the thrilling yet precarious journey towards syndication.
Navigating the darker alleys of fame, I open up about chilling encounters with stalkers that cast long shadows over the glitz of the broadcasting world. Imagine receiving cookies laced not with sugar, but with obsession, or a Secretary's Day celebration taking an eerie turn—such stories peel back the curtain on a host's life and the delicate dance with admirers that sometimes misstep into intrusion. Through these accounts, I'll explore the underbelly of notoriety and the boundaries we draw to protect our peace.
Concluding on a lighter octave, we reminisce on the adrenaline rush of breaking in hits like "Stairway to Heaven" and the mischievous antics that radio days allowed. It's a bittersweet symphony with the news of Aaron Donald's retirement from the Rams, prompting reflections on his legacy and the void he leaves behind. We'll then wade through the soulful melodies of Clarence Carter, letting his tunes resonate as we sign off on Pat's Peeps number 66, always with an invite back into the folds of radio magic and stirring stories.
