Show Notes
Welcome to the very first episode of Let's Talk About It with Dora Sherry! Dora kicks off the show by talking about one of her favorite subjects—radio—with her first-ever guest: Kevin Fodor, famously known as the legendary Jason Michaels, the voice of WHIO Radio for decades.
The Dayton Broadcasters Hall of Fame inductee (Class of 2022) shares stories from his 52-year career in the industry, starting with how he was "hopelessly bitten by the radio bug" in 1964.
Join us as Kevin takes us behind the mic, discussing:
- The history of iconic radio stations like WING and WHIO.
- His friendships with fellow radio legends like Gene "By Golly" Berry.
- The incredible story of a Cincinnati radio personality who booked The Beatles twice and lost money.
- The work and preparation that goes into being a radio personality, including creating characters like Marge Schott.
- Launching America's first all-'80s radio station in Columbus, Ohio, in 1998.
Plus, hear about Kevin's passion for aviation (he's a student pilot!), his experience meeting Neil Armstrong in 1979, and his work as an author on the importance of an honorable news business.
