TWiRT 459 - He's a Stand Up Guy with Scott Fybush

Some people in Radio wear a few hats; that’s been part of the business since its beginnings almost 100 years ago. Meet one radio guy who’s on the air in Rochester, NY, publishes a beautiful tower calendar annually, runs an informational subscription website, interviews broadcaster engineers and talent, brokers broadcast properties between buyers and sellers, produces his own broadcasting podcast, and keeps up with FCC Rules to help us navigate the regulatory landscape?  Oh, and he’s following his wife’s footsteps as a stand-up comic! It could only be Scott Fybush!

TWiRT 458 - The Temple of 5 Nines with Tracy Teagarden

Most of us enjoy air-conditioned casinos or convention halls, or perhaps sunny swimming pools and golf courses.  But the like of broadcast engineer, Tracy Teagarden, is often starkly different. As the Chief Engineer for Entercom in Las Vegas, Tracy recently found himself working in dangerous heat for several hours, with only the supplies he brought. On the other side of town he’s been building a mutli-station AM & FM transmitter site with high-reliability built right in; perhaps good enough for a zombie apocalypse!
