Kent And Alan--The Early Days

Kent Phillips posted this picture on Facebook on Monday in honor of National Radio Day.  They still do mornings on Star 101.5 in Seattle.  Station officials say that Kent and his partner, Alan Budwill are part of  the longest running radio show in Seattle history.  They have held the morning spot for over 32 years.
Kent Phillips worked at KUJ in Walla Walla while attending Whitman College. He was the debate partner of a good friend of mine.  Their producer, Leonard is also a family friend.

Dinner With The Barokas's

We had dinner last night with Leonard Barokas and his family at the Mandarin Grill And Buffet in Redmond. Leonard is the producer of the "Kent And Alan Show" on Star 101.5 and is a virtual encyclopedia on the local radio scene. Leonard, a native of the area, says that he got his start with KVI Radio as a producer for Mike Siegel. He is a cousin of our friend, Jerry.
