As technology continues to evolve, there are many jobs, careers, professions that slowly shrink in popularity and necessity, in some cases, become completely obsolete. Today’s generation may never know that some of these occupations even existed, much less played such important roles in our culture. Such is the plight of the first talk show host/talent discoverer/podcast host… who, when all mixed together, would give you the… disc jockey. The radio pioneers who became synonymous with late night job shifts, long family road trips, or impromptu dance parties. For this co-host it was the iconic Casey Kasem. I can, to this day, still hear his voice as he did his weekly countdown of top hits each Saturday. But who paved the way for legends like him?
Today’s profile episode explores the life and times of one of radio’s first and most influential voices of the radio waves; whose impact extended from behind the microphone and into movies and television. The DJ whose name and voice continue to inspire today, with the hosts who proudly stand on the shoulders of the innovators who came before them. It’s The Missing Chapter Podcast!
