I know Publius well. He does have a face for radio. ;-)

[Publius]

I did college radio, and when I was finishing with the Army in the Seattle area, I managed to infiltrate a 50 kilowatt radio giant, KING, the Big 11. One Sunday night I saved the production director's tail when I knew how to set up for the evening talk show and he didn't. At that point that either had to hire me or throw me out. They hired me.

I engineered the talk show, ran religious tapes on Sunday mornings, drove the KING money van handing out money to people with KING winner stickers, and I did some weekend and utility DJ work. During a six month period of personnel turbulence in 1974, I did the 2 AM to 6 AM shift while the normal all night guy, a veteran of the trade, did all the shifts where people had either gotten sick or quit.

My meteoric rise was followed by an equally meteoric fall, and I ended up spending 31 years in computers before retiring.
