It ain't Bill Radke, I tune out when I hear his voice just as fast as when his voice on KUOW reminded me to switch from Morning Edition to Dave Ross.
I have always loved Dave Ross but Luke Burbank is really helping his show become something different but still awesome to listen to. The smartest thing KIRO ever did was fire Luke so that TBTL could become huge as a podcast and allow Luke's star to rise so KIRO could hire him back.
KIRO is no. 3! was it luke burbank, and bill radke?
Despite all the schmutzing by commenters on this blog and elsewhere, KIROFM has zoomed up to no. 3 in the market (tied with rhythmic KUBE) in the all ages rankings. What was different this month? Gotta say it: a solid month of Luke Burbank's teaming up with Dave Ross (m-f, 9a-12p) and Bill Rad...
I agree that while Dave and Luke is interesting (I like Dave and I like Luke, they are two great tastes that almost taste great together). But Dori and Jessica is nauseating. When she started to read the news all sexy I started to lose interest (ack, I'm getting old), but when her role seeped out of the news reading box, or more accurately the sexy news breathing box, and she started to comment on the news she just read, uhm no.
I don't hate Dori like so many of you, but I will stop listening if this grows.
Will talking tag-teams be the face of the new KIRO?
Will the "new" KIROFM be talk teams of two? Dave & Luke, Dori & Jessica, Frank & Dori's dog, Star? (photo: Star) Maybe. We doubt PD/GM/BFD Ryan Hatch has made a final decision, but he sure's played the teams card lately. Many of the summer fill-ins were teams: Curley and Moe; Rivers and Put...
What is the deal with the Jessica/Dori happy chats that have been muddying his show of late? Their banter so so so grating. Is Kiro management trying to make all of its shows tag teams? Dave & Luke and Dori & Jessica to go with Ron and Don?
BREAKING: 'DORI' IS NOT A GIRL'S NAME!
Or so he says... Jessica Gottesman, KIRO newsie, and new Dori Monson (KIRO m-f, 12-3p) gal-pal, came right out and asked the little man this afternoon: is Dori a girl's name? No, he reportedly said, it's a manly Icelandic name. (photo: Jessica got the sto...
I was there, the crowd was shouting "Luke!" in a long drawn out way. This is the usual thing when Luke is a panelist on the show.
Wait! don’t tell me luke burbank was booed in seattle...
It sure sounded like booing when TBTL’s Luke Burbank was introduced at the Paramount Theater Thursday night. It also sounded like he thought so too, uneasily saying, “They’re not booing… I think.” Burbank, whose podcast Too Beautiful to Live is paying his bills and gaining upwards of 50k h...
Just reading up on the previous comments, and I enjoy reading the thoughts and questions about Schick. My understanding, as a Schick graduate, for the reason why smoking cessation is not emphasized to those battling more dangerous addictions is to decouple smoking from those addictions (how many people smoke when they drink? A lot!) so that relapse of one wouldn't trigger relapse of the other. Also, once the person has stopped using alcohol or other drugs and later they want to stop smoking, they know they can.

I've been thinking about Charlie and Ty lately, how can I get in touch with them?
