Hello friends, Luke from Portland here, just wanted to say hello. I started listening to TBS a couple months ago, really love Tom's impression of Garrison Keillor!
I have been a fan of talk radio since I was a child, I used to listen to the CBS Radio Mystery Theater show when I was really young, I loved Paul Harvey, and when I got into college I discovered Art Bell. I'm ashamed to admit I liked Mark and Brian and even listened to the Adam Carolla radio show when it was on. I listened to the Adam Carolla podcast until I grew tired of his rants. I discovered WFMU about a year ago, discovered Aerial View with Chris T, then The Dusty Show with Clay Pigeon, then The Best Show. I can honestly say that WFMU has opened me up to some great music and comedy.
I totally empathize with Tom when he rants about Adam Carolla, the guy is pretty dim, he did have a sports caster on his show named Dave Damasheck, who I found quite funny.
I really love Tom's confidence, I love to hear him talk about the show, like "Of course it's the best show, I've been telling you this for years!!!" It's like, stick with what you love, even if it drives you crazy, and keep working at it no matter what.
I love living in Portland, I've been here for almost 20 years, have lived in Oregon my entire life. I'm a 40 year old married guy, work 40 hours a week, have played in bands and continue to play in bands for over 20 years, I'm a drummer, love garage rock and soundtrack music from the '60s.
It's a pleasure to meet you all, I really really love the show!
- Luke.
