10 Questions with ... Jim Fox1) What was your first job in radio? Early influences?
I grew up on KRGN, 1460 KENO, then KLUC in the '60s and '70s. The radio was always on around my house. My dad was what we'd call today an uber-P1. Like most people, I've often associated experiences, even from when I was very young, with a particular station and what was on it at the time. If I were to hear "59th Street Bridge (Feelin' Groovy)" from Harpers Bizarre right now, it'd still take me back to the '60s and I'd be at my grandparents' house.
2) What led you to a career in radio? Was there a defining moment that made you realize "this is it"?
