Brian Arnett

2010-07-22T05:35:00Z

One of my favorite guests and a dear old friend, I can always count on Brian to take a genuine interest in the trivia and show up with some actual nuggets of curiosity.

Patrick McNeese

2010-07-15T23:40:00Z

It's long been my intention to spend some time with "multi-media man" Patrick McNeese. As is sometimes the case, I realized the show was the perfect opportunity!

Lisa Whipple

2010-07-08T21:12:00Z

A Facebook friend from far, far away recognizes me in a bar in Lexington and it's on.

Steve Daniels

2010-07-01T17:00:00Z

Original WRFL alum, Steve Daniels is my guest, visiting from his home in Los Angeles.

Esther Harvey

2010-06-24T16:05:00Z

Esther is my fall-back "win" in terms of show guests. Always a good listen!

WRFL Founder Kakie Urch calls Trivial Thursdays to discuss our power upgrade!

2010-06-22T12:53:00Z

On the June 17 show, I was lucky enough to be the first "waking hours" deejay to broadcast at WRFL's new full power of 7900 watts. Ten years in the making, the power upgrade was easily such a big deal that I had to get station founder Kakie Urch on the phone immediately to discuss what is probably the station's best news since going on the air in 1988.

Here's our chat, along with my guest Amberly Warnke of WRFL's "Ages 3 & Up" program and PRX's Pied Piper Radio.

It's about 11 minutes of conversation, and included is Big Audio Dynamite's "C'mon Every Beatbox" — the 1st song that WRFL played upon signing onto the airwaves over 20 years ago. It seemed only appropriate to play it again, as our signal extends, for the first time, far beyond Lexington.

Donna Ison — the Bourbonista!

2010-06-03T15:42:00Z

It's always fun to have Donna Ison — writer, actor, bon-vivant, bourbonista — on the show!

The Matrimonial Edition

2010-05-20T15:37:00Z

Is the show ever unfunny when my wife, Lucy Points, is the guest? It's Ozzie & Harriet 2010, y'all.

The Minneapolitan Edition

2010-05-13T15:11:00Z

Finally, a visit from one of my oldest and dearest friends, Miss Jill Rackiewicz-Henderson, in town from Minneapolis! A big big trivia day, too!

The Holga Edition

2010-05-06T14:45:00Z

My guest is the irrepressible, incorrigible TREAD, who delivers some of the most hilarious Trivial Thursdays ever, including dank, leery tales of Lexington Club Days Gone By. This one's not to be missed, folks! (PS: TREAD also happens to be famous in the toy camera workd, and you should check his action at http://www.gotreadgo.com

The EDition

2010-04-29T14:19:00Z

My guest was the multi-talented and always-curious Ed Brown!

the Everybody Plays the Fool edition with Liza Binford and a visit from Peter Kageyama of Creative Cities Summit

2010-04-06T00:28:42Z

A stellar show with the relentless good-time wit of Sister Liza Binford, and a very edifying visit from Peter Kageyama, who is in town coordinating Wednesday's superific Creative Cities Summit. Get registered now!

This one is well-worth a listen, chickadees!

The Vicious Edition, with The Vicious Guns from Toronto

2010-03-25T21:56:00Z

A super fun way to start the day, hanging out with The Vicious Guns and weaving a sprawling conversation this way and that, and back again!

The Hobo Edition with Airstream Chris, my brother

2010-03-18T22:47:00Z

Yep, another fun-filled edition of Trivial Thursdays, this time with kid brother "Airstream" Chris, who was in town in his home-on-wheels!

The Sunny Edition with Sunny Montgomery

2010-03-11T16:47:00Z

another Sunny day! Always fun to have Miss Sunny Montgomery come around!

Disco Damie #1 Miss Cass Dwyer

2010-02-27T05:54:00Z

In retrospect, having WRFL's Miss Cass on the show was the obvious thing to do, but she was the one who had to remind me of that. So glad she did! We had a big time in the midst of a fake snow-crisis in Lexington — although it did cause us both to be late in our own particular ways..

Big Ups (in the Miss Cass dialect) to the FB event guests, who made this the first Trivial Thursdays show with over 100 Facebook guests "attending!"

Woot!

Eric Myers of Ford Theatre Reunion and Amalgamation Fire Nation

2010-02-18T05:37:00Z

Eric seemed to be turning into a regular on the show for a few weeks, due to some coincidental music appearances with Ford Theatre and others of his many projects. That's okay. He's a fine fellow who I enjoy hanging out with.

Rhonda Reeves of ACEWeekly and the Ford Theatre Reunion: The Hearts Edition

2010-02-12T21:33:00Z

A big fun week! And how could it not be with favorite guest Rhonda Reeves of ACEWeekly? RR spoke with typical caffeinated fury, despite being a non-coffee drinker. Mountain Dew will dew that to you, I guess.

In addition to discussing all things Valentine, and playing a portion of the boundless canon that is Heartbreak Music, we also had a "live" in-studio performance by the Ford Theatre Reunion.

Just fantastic! Thanks everybody!

Debra Hensley

2010-02-05T16:35:00Z

I was thrilled on a number of levels to have Debra Hensley on the show this week. Not only is she an ardent supporter of art, culture and community in Lexington, but she also played an instrumental role, over 20 years ago, in helping to fund an effort to start a college radio station called WRFL.

Debra is so dear to so many people, and I'm among those people.

In addition, we just had a great time. Thanks for coming on the show, Sugar!

Don't miss out on some of the marvelous things that Debra helps make happen. Check out www.debrassocialstimulus.com for the latest.

Eric Sutherland of Holler Poets plus Bruce Burris!

2010-01-15T15:34:00Z

One of my favorite shows in a long time with the chief Holler Poet, Eric Sutherland, as well as a visit from irascible Lexi artist/activist Bruce Burris on the morning of his first art opening in a decade. Also, a call-in from Tim Buckingham with an update on Kentuckians for the Commonwealth upcoming activities.

That, and just lots of great trivia, including the birthday of the strange and compelling Marjoe Gortner.

Thanks, everybody!
