10 Questions with ... John Clay Wolfe1. You took an unusual route to being on the radio, ending up with parallel careers on radio and in car auctions; how did that come about? What’s the origin story behind the radio career?
Had a big career in my 20s in the wholesale car business. Moto-Cross crash /spinal chord injury at 32 put me in a wheelchair, and I realized I had to reinvent my newfound paraplegic self. I did some stand up in college, opened a couple of live music venues in DFW spring of 1993 at 19, and promoted concerts for that early 90s rock movement, Tripping Daisy, Toadies, Dave Mathews, Blues Traveler, 311, etc. Then got into the cars so I could make some real money. I finally twisted the arm enough of Cumulus market manager Lindy Parr in Wichita Falls TX to give me a Saturday morning slot on a small market Texas station to try out this concept I had in mind of an entertainment show with a button inside it where I would bid to buy people's cars live on the air. It worked, and all these years later Cumulus (via Lindy) is our #2 company in syndication behind iHeart.
