Podcast Notes
This month we interviewed radio icon Tom Mishcke. Tom is a professional pretexter with out even knowing it.
- We discuss how he prepared, practiced and executed funny, serious and personal bits for decades on his popular radio show.
- What did he do when fans got too close to him?
- How much time did it take to prepare for his bits?
- How did a guy with no radio experience become such an influential voice in radio today?
For some of the funniest bits Tom has every produced there are many fan sites that have archives of these hilarious pieces of radio history.
If you want to hear Tom now or some of his recent work check him out on his city pages web page.
Tom proved to be an amazing interview with a lot of insight into the art of pretexting.
