  Hi! Just taking a break for a week or so. As a teacher, I'm in denial that summer is over (I'm now all about meetings... joy!), but I'll be back up to speed soon enough. Bulletins, of course, will be covered. Otherwise, we'll be back after a very short break. Please stay safe and sane!

  A front-page article in Wednesday's Los Angeles Times  detailed the candidacy of former KABC and current The Answer 870 AM (KRLA) host Larry Elder , currently running for California Governor as part of the recall election of Gavin Newsom. Last week, Elder was interviewed on progressive talk station KBLA by station owner and midday host Tavis Smiley .

If you ever listened when I hosted middays, thank you. It was truly an honor to follow the Kevin & Bean show all those years. Thanks to the record reps and managers who trusted me with artists in many delicate situations. I’ll still be bugging you of course, but for now, thank you for introducing me to my heroes. Corbett arrived at KROQ via alternative rocker Y-107 (KLYY). In an interview with AllAccess.com, she said she started as an intern, then a part-timer at Boston’s WFNX...
