The Mendoza Brothers - Canz & Windows

Due to a production schedule conflict, we had planned to bring you a conversation with Sarah Simmons. She'll be on the show in a couple of weeks, in the meantime, there were a couple of nice guys who were passing through Memphis and stopped by the radio station.

Jason and Johnny Mendoza are from El Paso, Texas and have spent some time in Los Angeles and out on the road. They have some interesting stories to tell as well as some pretty cool music.



NEXT WEEK: Marie-Stephané Bernard

Austen Onek

Years ago, I spent some time in the television industry. It was a wild time, for sure. At one point I was working with Austen Onek in Kansas. Over the years, as situations occur in this business, people move from city to city.

Well, our paths crossed again here in Memphis so I sat down with Austen and what did we talk about? The weather, of course. Among a bunch of other things.



NEXT WEEK: Sarah Simmons

Talking Tech with Dianna Fryer

For several years now, companies have found new and inventive ways of removing people from various industries, even in the world of broadcast. Which is sad. It's as if technology was sucking the fun right out of the business.

But what happens when you put people back into the mix? In the new format of From Radioland, I sat down with Dianna Fryer, General Manager of Pirate Radio Studios, Inc. to discuss this very thing.

Also, a new element has been added to the show, Playing Favorites.



NEXT WEEK: Talking about the weather with Austen Onek.

Benny Turner & Cash McCall

This episode marks 5 complete years of production for the show From Radioland. As I had been talking about over the past couple of weeks, we'll making some changes. The content for this show has been from The Booze & Blues Show at Radio Memphis.

Well, the time has come to move that content over to the RMOD (Radio Memphis On Demand) collection. This is a good thing since that move will allow us to get those blues shows online much faster than trying to shoehorn it into this show.

So, what of this show? I'll explain in the show.

Also, a visit with 2 legendary blues musicians who had not worked together for over 40 years. They got together and made a CD. You'll hear some of those songs as well as some of the stories as to how this collection of songs was made.



NEXT WEEK: Technology sucking the fun out of everything with Dianna Fryer.
