Some Print blurbs about A Whole 'Nuther Thing
4/20/04
Finder of Lost Music...
Bob Goodman is having a blast on Thursday nights doing a ‘Whole 'Nuther
Thing’ from 8 - 9 p.m. on KSBR/fm. “It's the last hour of my 3-hour
shift and I have been afforded the opportunity and artistic freedom to
feature many artists and music that no longer have a venue on
terrestrial radio,” emailed Bob. “A great reward is the many listeners
calling and emailing their positive feedback and hearing their personal
stories about this ‘lost’ music and it's significance in their lives.
I've always referred to music as the ‘Soundtrack of Our Lives’ and my
listeners bear this out. The real reward and most important byproduct of
my show is the exposure of its content
to part of the audience that was either too young when it was current
or simply just missed it. In many cases it is educational and allows
listeners to hear the original recordings that may have been attributed
to other artists.”
Bob
enrolled at Saddleback College as a way to get back into radio. “The
enjoyment I get out of these three hours is the reason I chose
broadcasting as a career back in 1970, the void I fill is the byproduct
of why I left it in 1976. My 3-hour air shift once a week keeps me
active in an area of interest I've participated in since I was
8-years-old and listened to WINS, WABC, WMCA and WMGM on a 6 Transistor
Channel Master under my pillow, or when I was 11 and discovered the joys
of DXing and pulling in the distant signals of WKBW, WOWO and WBT from
an apartment in NYC. But nothing had greater impact than the voice of
Bill ‘Rosko’ Mercer as WOR/fm emerged from the speakers of my clock
radio one terrific morning in 1966,” remembered Goodman.

 Jersey Guy. Bob Goodman gets to play whatever he wants every Saturday afternoon at KSBR (88.5/fm). Tomorrow at 5 p.m. Bob plays an hour of Frankie Valli and the Four Seasons. Bob works in consumer electronics, but has never forgotten that dream he gave up 30 years ago. “Getting out of radio is the thing I lament the most. I’m really sorry I didn’t stick with it,” he said by phone yesterday afternoon.
“I’ve been a radio fanatic all my life,” Bob continued. His radio dream story is familiar. He would hide his transistor radio under his pillow and when he went to bed he would DX far off stations. He was living in New York City and of all the stations he picked up, WKBW-Buffalo was his favorite.

While attending Hunter College in New York in the early 1970s he ran the campus station. After working for a couple of stations on Long Island, he answered an ad that he discovered in Job Leads, a stapled flyer that listed available radio jobs from around the country. Growing up in the cold of New York, California sounded good. Bob took his new bride to a station in Lakeport, California. Where? Well, it is near Ukiah, a town of 1,000 that swells to 10,000 in the summer. “I was just excited about going to California and pursuing my radio career. I was sales manager and on-air guy. The job lasted three days. I’d go back to the hotel where we were staying and my wife was crying her eyes out.”
Bob packed up and headed for L.A. to stay with friends and worked in a boiler room selling ink toner. “The guy next to me was the program director of K-SURF in Santa Monica. He said he needed an overnight guy to run the automation and read news headlines every half hour. ‘K-SURF by the sea – 103.” A brief return to the East and a weekend job at WYSP-Philadelphia, the station was AOR broadcasting in Quad Stereo. “We were the Quad Father.”
That was the end of his radio dream for the next quarter of a century until six years ago. “KSBR is my local station in south Orange Country. I went back to school and got a weekend show at KSBR. They’ve given me all the freedom to play what I want.”
Tomorrow, Bob Goodman wants to play the Four Seasons. And he will. If you can’t get the radio station, the program is streamed at: //www.ksbr.net/Jazz!FM885KSBR.ram
