OK, all you beloved readers,
First, before I get started on this, this is THE LAST TIME you’ll receive four emails in a single week from me. I know it’s been a lot. I’m just getting organized with this new thing, the radio show. Please hang in there with me; next week is different.
So, about the radio show …
This Monday, I broke through the “Terror Barrier” to become a real live radio talk show host at Laguna’s own KXFM 104.7 radio.
Well, I’m sorta a talk show host … I have yet to completely figure out all the buttons, the computer screen thing with all the music, how the phone works for call ins, and what to do about all those guests I’ll be bringing in to interview but, hey … I’m ON MY WAY!
Best of Laguna Beach™ is now on the airwaves!
Many thanks to the awesome DJs who helped me make it through my first session (and provided endless assurances), especially to Billy Fried, the “anointed caretaker” of KXFM 1047 Radio who believes I’d have something to say, Tom Joliet for letting me sit in his show and ask endless questions, and the remarkable Jason Feddy for hanging in there with me my first entire hour.
Now, because I’m still a newbie at all those buttons … I decided to just talk through my entire first session. I loaded up my entire hour with all sorts of “Best of” news that I’ve been holding back on a bit. As my buddy, Ruben told me, “It was A LOT.” LOL.
I figure there’s got to be something in here you might be interested in:
1:15 – The four new restaurants coming into Laguna Beach, including Oto Pizza (downtown Laguna), Truly Pizza (north Laguna), Pinafini (“restaurant Row in downtown) and Raw Bar (South Laguna). Look at how evenly they’ve geographically spaced themselves - quite thoughtful of them, if I do say so myself.
19:03 – My “Best of Laguna” Top 7 Cheeseburgers (with a few runner ups as well). This was in honor of Wednesday’s National Cheeseburger Day.
36:34 – New news on the restaurant front, including chefs moving around the Monopoly board of Laguna Beach.
42:53 – What’s happening Sept. 27th? Hmmmm!
I’m back next Monday, 2 pm PDT/5 pm EDT!
Here’s the BEST thing about doing my show at 2 pm . . . I’m surfing the wake from two of our town’s greats who are right before me - Greg MacGillvray and Gregg Abel. These legends, in and of themselves, are discussing “The Legends of Laguna” from 12:00 - 2:00 pm PDT/3:00 - 5:00 ET.
I’ve got to have the best spot on the entire schedule following those awesome icons.
If you’re not nearby to twirl that radio dial … in fact, if you’re one of my subscribers hailing from one of those 32 countries of subscribers, download the free KXFM Radio app from Google Play or the App Store … OR just go online to KXFMRadio.org
Here’s what’s happening on the show next Monday, Sept. 23rd
I’ll be talking about my TEN memorable birthday meals during my Birthday Week at some of my most favorite Laguna spots. (Hey, when you’re the restaurant guru, every friend wants to take you to dinner. And what’s wrong with that?)
I’ll be bringing in special guest, Ruben Flores, the guy I call “The Beautification Consultant of Laguna Beach” … he’s teaming up with me (Restaurant Consultant) to talk about ideas for a mere half block of Laguna Beach that could be easily polished to a beautiful shine. (Any guesses on where that half block is?)
