NRG Media/Wausau-Stevens Point, WI GM Kurt Luchs Pens Another Book

Kurt Luchs

NRG MEDIA LLC/WAUSAU-STEVENS POINT, WI GM KURT LUCHS will release a humor book, "It's Funny Until Someone Loses an Eye (Then It's Really Funny)" from SAGGING MENISCUS PRESS, on NOVEMBER 1st. The book collects 50 humor pieces published in such places as the NEW YORKER, MCSWEENEY'S INTERNET TENDENCY, SLATE, KUGELMASS, and LUCHS' own literary humor site THEBIG JEWEL.COM.

LUCHS' work has appeared in THE ONION; had other books published, including "Our Dumb Century;" and worked as a TV comedy writer for BILL MAHER at POLITICALLY INCORRECT and CRAIG KILBORN at THE LATE LATE SHOW. He's headed up NRG MEDIA/WAUSAU-STEVENS POINT stations since MAY 2013.

How does NRG upper management feel about his literary moonlighting? "They're very supportive," LUCHS said. "They believe in work-life balance, and they want their people to be personally fulfilled. That's one of the things that makes it such a great place to work. Plus, they know that all this comedy background is very useful in managing the content and presentation on our morning shows. In radio, being creative kind of comes with the territory."

"It's Funny Until Someone Loses an Eye" can be preordered at AMAZON:
