10 Questions with ... Marty LenzBRIEF CAREER SYNOPSIS:
25+ years in radio, television, and multimedia, working locally in Columbia and Myrtle Beach, SC; Colorado Springs and Denver; Minneapolis/St. Paul; Sacramento and San Francisco. Nationally for Jones Radio Network (now Westwood One) and the Business Radio Network (defunct). Now back home in Denver for KOA News Radio.
1. You've done a million things in your career, but it started with radio. How and why did you get into radio? Why radio?
As young as 11 I was transfixed by radio, and as a lover of music and coming of age, I just wanted so badly to be a disc jockey. I mean, working only 4 hours a day playing the music I wanted, and getting paid to do so.... LOL. Nothing seemed better, more fun, or perfect for me than that (I'm guessing all our stories have that similar fantasy start and inspiration!). As a high school freshman, I wrote a paper on getting into radio, becoming a disc jockey/announcer; got an A, and still have it. :)
