On this episode, Jim "Jimbo" Kovacik interviews radio legend and creator of the podcast "Aircheck," Rich Desisto! Rich has worked at multiple radio stations across the east coast as an air talent and he also teaches broadcasting.
You'll hear many great stories as Rich talks about the night he let the F-bomb fly, his cool encounter with Chris Cornell, his awkward moment with Robert Plant, the tale of the punter that wasn't afraid to go blue and a whole lot more!
IN CASE YOU DIDN'T KNOW...
AIRCHECK is a podcast about radio's personality from radio personalities.
Each episode includes guests from the Radio industry including, but not limited to, Air Personalities, Program Directors, General Managers, and Owners.
In addition to the shared stories, AIRCHECK incorporates the rewound audio from those special story moments.
Both Rich De Sisto and Paul Kelly, currently on the air in Philadelphia, have concentrated their radio careers in the northeast corridor of the country.
Radio stops for Rich include WAXQ/New York, WYSP/Philadelphia, WPST/Trenton, WMGM/Atlantic City, WAMX/Huntington, and WZXL/Atlantic City.
Paul’s on air time includes WEZX/Scranton, WPDH/Poughkeepsie, and WZXL/Atlantic City where he and Rich met in the late 80s.
Paul also operates Philadelphia-based Kelly Music Research.
If there’s a story to be told….and hopefully audio to complement it, from College Radio to AM/FM, Satellite, AIRCHECK will give it a listen.
