Ep. 319 Today's Peep Celebrates National Radio Day! A Personal Journey, Voices that Echo, Why Radio Still Matters, DJ Diaries, and Great Laughs!
Take a journey through the airwaves as Patrick celebrates National Radio Day with personal stories and iconic moments from his three-decade career behind the microphone. From humble beginnings practicing at college stations to becoming one of the last remaining local nighttime radio hosts in America, this episode is a love letter to the medium that shaped his life.
Patrick shares the pivotal moment when Ron Woodward gave him his first break at KPAY in 1990, launching him into six-hour shifts, five nights a week. He reflects on finding his niche in nighttime radio and how education at Butte College and Chico State laid the foundation for his success. With pride, he notes his current show on KFBK Radio in Sacramento is approaching its 12th year – the longest-running program in that time slot on the station.
The episode features nostalgic audio clips from radio legends who influenced generations, including Wolfman Jack, Dr. Don Rose, and Tony Cox from KROY. Patrick takes us back to his childhood, riding the school bus while listening to Sacramento's KROY and San Francisco's KFRC, creating memories that would fuel his passion for broadcasting. Most surprisingly, he reveals that his current show may be the only local live radio program remaining in America during the 7-10 PM time slot – a testament to both the changing landscape of radio and his enduring connection with listeners.
Whether you grew up with the golden age of radio or discovered it later in life, this episode celebrates the voices, personalities, and stations that created communities through sound alone. What radio stations and personalities shaped your life? Share your memories and tune in to Patrick's radio show tonight for more celebrations of National Radio Day!
Welcome to the Pat's Peeps podcast. Happy Wednesday. We're at 319, now our 319th peep. Thank you for listening. Hope you're enjoying your day. My name is Patrick.
Speaker 1:It's a beautiful day as I look out my studio window into the beautiful foothills of Northern California, the sun is shining and just. It's a good day, everything is a good. It's a good day, except I still haven't got my driver's license. Beyond that, but hey, it's only been three and a half months, so you know. Anyhow, today I am very happy to say, as I just dive right in because I always love this day Today is National Radio Day, national Radio Day, and of course I am in radio and so I love to pay attention to that. Do I have my applause? There we go. Thank you, national Radio Day. Oh, and, as I think back back through the years in radio, hey, I get to utilize these buttons here on Pat's Peep Street. Thank you, national Radio Day.
Speaker 1:I've been in radio. People ask me how long have you been in radio? Geez, I've been in radio longer now than some people have been or live, which is amazing to me, which is obvious, by the way. I've been in radio since 1990, when I started at KPAY and I used to go in and I would practice at KCHO and at Chico State and I would just pretend like I was a DJ at the public radio stations there and practice and practice and practice. And then I went to Butte College, learned some communication skills there which I attribute any success that I've had to not just personal motivation and perseverance, but to Butte College and to Chico State Changed my life and saw a little sticky note. I've mentioned this before. They were looking for a DJ. I called the number. Ron Woodward hired me, gave me a chance and man, I was green Boy, oh boy. Even though I had been practicing, I still really wasn't ready to be on air, I wasn't a primetime player just yet. But God bless, ron Woodward gives me a chance, says you know what, young man, I think you'll be a good DJ and right away gave me a job as a disc jockey.
Speaker 1:Six to midnight, monday through Friday, six hours a day, five nights a week, essentially my career. I have been a nighttime radio guy, Even when I was in television, even when I was producing and I was the floor director and the main camera guy and all of the stuff I was doing in television that was always the 11 o'clock news. Everything for the most part I've done in radio or TV has been nighttime, and I celebrate it. I love it. It's my niche, apparently. By the way, I'm the host of the Pat Walsh show, as heard on KFPK radio in Sacramento, 93.1 FM, 1530 AM, and, just like this very Pat's peep, we stream live everywhere on your free iHeart app, not to mention all your other apps out there. So Spotify, you know. Whatever it is, itunes, we're on all of the apps.
Speaker 1:But today, on my podcast, I celebrate Radio Day. Because of my love for radio, we'll celebrate it on my radio show as well, my radio show as well, but here we'll celebrate it in a slightly different way. I want to pay tribute to those people who we've known over the years as great radio people We've idolized. These are some beloved people and just so many other angles that I want to take here with the radio, beginning with, if I may, a song that always resonates with me. This band, everclear, is going to be in our neck of the woods very soon, coming to the Rockland Quarry Park. I should be having them on my podcast soon. But this song is my life at the age of 15, 16, 17, 18 years old. I didn't live in LA. It opens with the radio station in Los Angeles, but in Sacramento, whether it was KZAP or Earth Radio 102, and everything else that Everclear sings about in this song AM Radio from 2004, is my life HJ.
Speaker 2:Los Angeles. Portions of the day's programming are reproduced by means of electrical transcriptions or tape recordings.
Speaker 1:That's in the opening of my radio show. That little bit right there, by the way.
Speaker 3:A song called AM Radio. Thank you, yeah, chintel, there wasn't any good time to want to be inside. My mama want to watch that TV all goddamn night. I'd be in bed with the radio on. I would listen to it all night long Just to hear my favorite song. You'd have to wait, but you could hear it on the Radio on radio, on radio on.
Speaker 1:When he says I'd lay in bed all night long Listening to it with the radio on. That's what I did. My Panasonic clock radio First thing I ever bought with my own money Not that show again.
Speaker 3:I don't want to watch that show. Can we watch Good Times with Chico and the man or something cool?

Speaker 4:I refuse. I refuse to walk around and watch people on my job looking over my shoulder, people lying to me, people talking about me. It's ridiculous, it is sad. I can't take it. I'm not going to take it. I don't have to take it. I'm not a dummy. I know how to find another job, but I refuse to walk around people.
Speaker 4:You can say what you want to say about me and if you see me on the street I'll let you know whatever you want to know, but I refuse. For the last six years I made six dollars an hour. That ain't nothing. I just got a raise after six years. I made $6 an hour. That ain't nothing. I just got a raise after six years. I know I'm qualified and after saying this, I don't care if I ever get another job in radio period. It does not matter to me. But I never will not be setting the mood at BLX. No more, I refuse to walk around with people that'll speak to you. Hey, arnetta, how you doing? But then as soon as you walk by that bitch, I will not do it to myself anymore. So if you're confused about what I'm saying, listen very carefully. I quit this bitch.
Speaker 9:I'm a big station.
Speaker 8:I watch children in the shine, in the light and I dial to it and it's in my radio, advised With every one of those late night stations playing songs bringing tears to my eyes. I was seriously thinking about hiding the receiver when the switch broke cause it's old. They're saying things that I can hardly believe. They really think we're getting out of control. Radio is the sound salvation, radio is cleaning of the nation. They say you better listen to the right side reason, but they don't give you any tries Cause they think that it's treason. So you had better do as you were told.
Speaker 7:Hey, 102 FM. You know, tonight I decided to do whatever I want. Why? Because it's my show. I am the king of the city and sometimes you get followed. You're so darn. Excuse me, I'm so sorry. You know I am a butthead. I won the butthead award last night. Everybody voted and said it was 93 to 12. They want a coyote to be a butthead. I I thank you for your support and I can guarantee you my pledge to you is continued buttheadedness through the entire year of 1988. I won't let you down. I'll be the biggest butthead you've ever seen and believe me, ladies and gentlemen, I can do it. Why? Because I've had a lot of practice being a butthead. I appreciate your support and your votes and confidence.
Speaker 7:What we're talking about right now is this station's format, which is bugging me. You know what I'm supposed to play next hour. Oh, madonna, open your Heart. Police Every Breath you Take. We haven't heard that song enough, have we? Police Every Breath you Take. How many times do you think we've played that song in the past four years? Probably 5,000 times. My point is my point is how many times have we played Pink Floyd off their brand new CD? Zero, none. Well, you know I've played two or three cuts off the Pink Floyd CD in the past three months. You know how I did it. I sneaked the CD in here and I played it without authority and without permission. Why? Because I knew you wanted to hear it. The CD has sold four million copies. We played nothing off it. That's a good business decision, isn't it? Oh, I can tell these people are smart. We hire a consultant to tell us hey, don't play that, it's sold for me in copies. Someone might like it. Keep it off the station. Pink Floyd's my favorite band. We're going to remedy the fact we don't play any Pink Floyd right now.
Speaker 7:Ladies and gentlemen, at Z102. I hope you're behind me. Stand behind me, because we have to change this autocratic way and this completely fascist way this radio station is run. I'm sure you agree. You're tired of hearing the same old garbage day in and day out. Let's play some Wednesday. Let's play some Wednesday. Ladies and gentlemen, I think my medication's finally on off.
Speaker 7:What we're going to do tonight, as I was saying, is have a real request and dedication show, not one of these hokey ones where I just put people on the air to request dumb songs. Whatever you want to hear, give me a call at 100-239-5888. Or there are other numbers 333-113. Whatever you want to hear, I'm going to play for you. Why? Because I love you very much and this is my show. I'm going to try to present a show, you know, with a little bit of intelligence. For now I said the same old garbage over and over and over. Oh, my hotline is ringing. Well, ladies and gentlemen, my hotline is ringing. I bet this will be interesting. Let's answer the hotline in the air. Oh, this will be fun. Don't tell anybody. C-102 FM hello, what the hell are you doing? I'm playing one of my favorite bands, boston. I'm playing Boston, steve. A lot of Boston is what I'm doing. Why Is this on the air? Ladies and gentlemen, steve Russell, our program director of WZBQ.
Speaker 9:Yes, Steve, we're on the air. Get me off the air now.
Speaker 7:Lighten up Steve.
Speaker 10:It's just a bit, just a joke. Get me off the air now.
Speaker 7:No, I'm not going to. If I take you off the air, then you'll give me a bad time. Why don't you just tell the people since? Well, I'll tell you what. Ladies and gentlemen, let's not let that ruin our party. Let's play some more. Boston Z-102 FM. I know each other. Wow, rockin' for the team, now Z-102. Yeah, z-102 FM. There you go, ladies and gentlemen. They love me, they're behind me. We can't always play the same thing every night. This station is run by fascist, communist, socialistic programming fatheads. It's an all-catch-22. We play a lot of garbage. We're going to try to balance the garbage from now on on my show with some good stuff. We're supposed to play a commercial too. Let's do that. Okay, enough of that. I don't really feel like playing commercials. I'm on a roll, I'm feeling hot, I'm a little woozy, I am seeing double. I think I'm going to faint, because after let's. Well, what we really should do, ladies and gentlemen, before we continue, is call Steve Russell back, because I really don't want him to be angry at me.
Speaker 7:He is, after all, the program director and he did sound a little miffed and a little peeved. Sometimes they take these things so seriously, so I break in the format for one hour. Big deal, let me call him. We'll just call Steve and make sure that he's not angry with me.
Speaker 7:Hello, hello. Who is this? It's Janice Janice, ladies and gentlemen, the lovely wife of Mr Steve Russell. Janice, hello, janice, how are you? I'm fine, thanks. You still having a sexual problem? No, I don't, let me speak to Steve, please. He's not here. Where is he?
Speaker 3:He's on his way to the station.
Speaker 7:He's coming here. Yes, he is. Oh, okay, well, I'll talk to him when he gets here. Then, okay, okay, okay, nice talking with you, bye.
Speaker 8:Bye, Janice Z-102.
Speaker 7:Okay, I want to play. Let's play some Mountain. You should enjoy this driving. I think Steve will enjoy some Mountain. You know we don't play this either. Here's some mountain Steve C-102 FM, felix Papalardi, leslie Weston Mountain. We don't play any mountain. Can you believe that? As big as that band was? A lot of followers and Felix Papalardi, a fine, upstanding gentleman that I knew personally and I believe he was shot to death at a topless nightclub.
Speaker 7:But we should play something, because that Mississippi Queen was the number one record in 1970. Do we play it? No, we don't. You know all the records we don't play. You know what we play by Led Zeppelin. You know what we play by Led Zeppelin Stairway to Heaven. That's it. That is all we play by Led Zeppelin. You know what we play by REM? One song, the one I love. They have seven albums out.
Speaker 7:We play one song, and you know why this happens. It's really not Steve Russell's fault. I know he's driving to the station, probably listening to me. I hope you are listening to what I'm saying right now. Listen closely, steve. I don't hold you responsible for this. I know you're just a victim of this machinery which we call radio. We're all victimized by this monster. Ladies and gentlemen, we have a consultant in Virginia that we pay big money I need more money than anybody here at the station makes to send us music lists on what we should play. He tells us what to play and dictates to you what you're going to hear, and he's in Virginia. Here's the music sheet, right here. Look what we got. We got Madonna, prince Huey, lewis, styx.
Speaker 1:God, I've always wanted to do this. Oh boy.
Speaker 7:How adventurous.
Speaker 10:Coyote Calhoun. How adventurous.
Speaker 1:Z-10 Calhoun how adventurous. Z102 live on air.
Speaker 7:But Steve is on his way to the station. What I'm going to do is I'm going to leave the microphone on when Steve gets here. I want him to stay in his position. I want him, man to man, to sit down in the chair and tell everybody why we listen to this Jeffries boob and why we follow these music sheets and have no leeway what to do. I'll tell you something I've got to follow this music sheet, but if the ratings come back and my ratings my book is bad. You know who's going to get fired. No, not Mr Jeffries, Not Mr Russell. Mr Calhoun will be, fired.
Speaker 7:So I should have some input into my show and you should have some input. You want to hear something? I should be able to play it. So when Steve gets it, we'll leave the mic on, and when he gets it, we'll ask him why are what to do? We've been a radio 10-15 years. We don't need management to tell us what to do. Ladies and gentlemen, shut the mic off. Ladies and gentlemen, the program director of WZBQ and my friend, steve Russell Hello, steve, shut the mic off. Back off. You're making it worse. Shut the mic off.
Speaker 7:The mic stays on. Cut the mic off or you're gone. I cannot believe that this is a big damn deal. Cut the mic off or you're gone. I cannot believe that this is a big damn deal. Cut the mic off now. The mic stays on. I'm sorry.
Speaker 11:Cut the mic off.
Speaker 7:If you come close to the mic, I Back off Russell. Let go of me. You Cut the mic off.

Speaker 12:Excuse me a minute.
Speaker 2:So call Shady Hills today, Remember there just might not be a tomorrow and on that happy note.
Speaker 12:Let's take a look at the weather.
Speaker 9:We have reports that it's coming down in buckets out there in other parts of the state.
Speaker 10:However, experts are predicting that sunny skies will return by noon, but not here.
Speaker 11:So if you're on your way to work.
Speaker 2:You might want to take an umbrella or you might not you're listening to the Johnny Blueberry. We're all alone Out in the sand.
Speaker 6:He bought my Palooza. She left me Tender. Jumbo lion Sleeps tonight, baby we're always Gone.
Speaker 1:I was raised as Journey sings about. I was raised on radio, as many of you were, I'm sure. Radio, as many of you were, I'm sure, and to be a part of radio is absolutely amazing to me, particularly to be doing it in an area where I grew up, as I am a native of Sacramento, and to be doing radio in Sacramento on a nightly basis again. It is just such a blessing. My show is the Pat Wall Show, kfbk Radio. It is a legendary radio station in Sacramento, 93.1 FM, 1530 AM. I'm coming up on 12 years of my radio show. You know what. It is the longest running radio show in that time slot on KFBK, and you know when people go. I'm not trying to brag.
Speaker 6:I kind of am, but in a polite way all right.
Speaker 1:In a polite way. I'm not trying to brag yeah, kind of him, but in a polite way. All right, in a polite way I'm just trying to say that to me is an incredible accomplishment to maintain this show, to retain this show for 12 years. And I'm talking through the pandemic and I'm talking about a history of companies that you know have had significant layoffs through the years, people who have lost their jobs. And here I am. Somehow, you know, I feel like I'm in that sifter of life. You know, I've been sifted and I'm still in the little sifter and it's an amazing thing.
Speaker 1:And here's another little factoid, since we're talking National Radio Day. This is what I have been told now by two different people who are in the business, who are in the know, and they've asked me Pat, do you know how rare your show is? And I say, well, what do you mean rare in what terms? Well, do you know how many local live radio shows there are that exist in the United States on radio in that time slot? So the 7 to 10 time slot local radio shows that exist live from a city in that time slot? You know, and I said I initially I guessed and I said I don't know, I have no idea. 250, I just was a wild guess. The first time they asked me, which was a few years ago, the person held up four and I went what? With the exception of, perhaps, a market, a major market that has a big team, you know, and some other market, the Steelers in Pittsburgh, or, you know, the Dodgers, or whatever team in a big market somewhere, cleveland with the whoever? They've got a bunch of teams. They may have post-game talk or what have you, but general talk in the united states.
Speaker 1:The last time I was asked, which was very recently, same thing. Do you know now how many nighttime local radio shows exist in america? And I said four. Maybe. They held up a zero, a one yours. So I'm very, very proud of that and you know what? It's because of the one thing that I definitely need to mention. It's because of you listening. I am so thankful to you for not just listening to my podcast right now, but for listening to my radio show.
Speaker 1:When I was raised in Sacramento Journey, talking about being raised on radio at a certain age, we listened to Top 40 and we listened to one of two stations. We listened to both, but you were either into a KROI in Sacramento, which was my thing because I'm a Sacramento guy or you listen to KFRC in San Francisco and we get on the school bus and Bessie the bus driver. She would play one of the stations and then maybe some kid might ask if they could switch it to the other station. But it was those two, kroi and KFRC. Dr Don Rose was a legend at KFRC, from KFRC.
Speaker 9:San Francisco. Dr Don Rose plays them for you. Thank you, thank you. You can tell I'm a gourmet. Whenever I order Kool-Aid I always ask the year right 557 in San Francisco, just like one of our engineers was telling me this morning. There's one advantage to being a divorced man At least you can give references right. Barbra Smart had minor surgery yesterday, had his socks chiseled, I believe in the high school KFRC, I believe. I believe. I believe it's 6 o'clock. This is Dr Dodd-Rose and, if the boss is listening, bernie's hothouse just called your Farrah Fawcett doll has been patched okay.
Speaker 5:It all worked out. And you can pick it up any time afternoon today, right?
Speaker 9:Oh, and a social note. This morning Elizabeth Taylor celebrated the third anniversary of her second divorce from Richard Burden by spending the weekend with Eddie Fisher. Big mouth, he's a good friend. Tonight is kind of special. The beer will KFRC Just lay down, sally. That's what the song says. I knew a lady like that one time. She came to a costume party as a road map and I showed her where I wanted to travel. It's a 606. Listen, when you're growing up as the poor kid on the block in North Platte, nebraska, you don't get very many opportunities to meet outstanding young ladies, believe me, or any other kind for that matter. And we were poor when I was growing up Couldn't even afford to go window shopping.
Speaker 9:And we really needed a window too. I remember the time they built a freeway right through our neighborhood with no exits To get to our house. You had to get on the freeway, then lose control of your car. You know, I think I'm losing control here dr don rose.
Speaker 1:That was a great style of radio boss radio. As I said, while people were listening to don rose including yours truly I was listening to k-R-O-Y the Wonder Rabbit. I could go down the list of the great people I listened to on that station. One of those people was Tony Cox, who now how awesome this is as an adult I am now good friends with Tony Cox. I listened to him. I used to call in request songs, and here he is from 1976 on Croy, kroy, sacramento.
Speaker 11:Get the net, offering you up to $5,000 in Croy cash call. It's just a little after 10 o'clock with Tony Cox, kroy. See, rock and roll bands don't have it as easy as some people may think. That's Beth Kiss and Tony Cox at 1010. K-r-o-y, k-r-o-y and Tony Cox with my cash call this hour worth $1,000. When your phone rings don't say hello. K-r-o-y and Tony Cox understand that Jackson Brown will be here in Sacramento February 3rd. Want more? Call the concert line at 442-4111. K-r-o-y Little after 1030.
Speaker 4:And.

Speaker 11:It's 19 minutes past 11 o'clock with Tony Cox and I was watching television last night and learned a couple of things, like the moral of one show I saw. The evil of all roots is money. Figure that one out. Sacramento marries the Yuba City weather Well. Besides a dense fog, low cloud and possibility of rain, today we'll have pretty nice weather. 54 is the expected high, 41 the overnight low. Right now it's 44 degrees here in Old Sacramento at Croy.

Speaker 1:Celebrating National Radio Day. Here on Pat's Peeps number 318,. Here's Uncle Lair little Tom.
Speaker 10:Here we are again, the Animal Stories News team anchorman. Here's me, your charming and delightful old Uncle Lair, and there's him in person. Hi, little snut nose, tommy. Hi, tommy, hi, uncle Lair, hi everybody.
Speaker 10:According to police in Willinghall, england, a horse-drawn cart of scrap drew up behind a motorcyclist at a railroad crossing gate which was down to allow a train to pass. The horse proceeded to drool on the cyclist. Here's some biker a little time Sitting there on his big Harley, minding his own business, waiting for this train to go by. The horse pulls up, starts drooling, so he got mad. Mad, it says here.
Speaker 10:Gave gave the gave the horse his best elbow shot right to the well. Right in the process, when he lifted up his arm To give this horse an elbow shot, he let go of his clutch and his motorcycle lurched forward Little Tommy into the car in front of him. Meanwhile, the horse cycle lurched forward little tommy into the car in front of him. Meanwhile the horse who has just been punched in the face rears up, dumps the load of scrap onto the car behind, which rolled backwards under the weight and rammed the front of yet another car on the line.
Speaker 10:Now, seeing this chain reaction, a passing dog walker tied his terrier to the railroad gate and went to help out. But the train had passed and the gate went up, pulling the dog 20 feet by his neck. See, the dog's owner shouted to another pedestrian to lower the gate, which came down on and damaged the roof of a passing Mercedes Benz. Oh wow, I don't know how the it doesn't say how the dog is. I suppose it would depend on which side of the gate he was tied to. If he was on the side that came crashing down to the Mercedes Benz, the dog's probably not going to be okay into the by killing the becoming a hero in the mouth of the world.
