S13E12 - The Vivid Memories of a Vietnam Veteran

Episode Notes

I'm certainly not graced with the opportunity to chat with a Vietnam veteran every time the wind changes direction . . .but this week, I enjoyed this very privilege, and you're reaping the benefits!! Introducing Mr. Donald Elmore, a Bowling Green native, who first served in Germany, and then completed two tours of duty in Vietnam. Mr. Elmore even authored a book entitled "The Road Taken", which features written accounts and drawn pictures tracing his childhood, army service, and even a portion of his post-military life in California. Grab a seat as he explains what led him to serve our country, reflects on highlights of his service ventures, and speaks of his career pursuits and art-centered hobbies after military retirement. He also extends words of wisdom to the service personnel of tomorrow. We can all learn something from Mr. Elmore's voice of extensive experience . . .so listen intently, and soak up his splendid story!

S13E13 - Lucky's Media Ventures and More

Episode Notes

This week, I'm super stoked to be joined by one of my former radio partners from Western Kentucky University's student-run station (WWHR)!! Meet Amanda Hagerman, affectionately known by her radio name "Lucky", who I teamed up with for a radio show the second semester of my Freshman year. Lucky's most recent media venture came in the realm of television, where she handled production duties behind the scenes at WDRB (Fox 41) in Louisville. Come along as she and I look back on the fun we had together on the Bowling Green airwaves, and discuss an exciting internship she enjoyed with Sony LA. She also details additional radio experience, and other directions her career has taken over the years, prior to arriving at Fox 41. Finally, she shares highlights of her rewarding time in television production, and extends advice to youngsters aspiring to pursue a career behind the mic, on camera, or perhaps somewhere in the middle. Tune in and treat yourself to Lucky's story, her whit, and her wisdom!
