KNBR Still Lists The Extreme Scene on their Contact Page

Extreme Scene KNBR Contact Page.jpg

Nearly nine months after KNBR unexpectedly, and stupidly, dropped The Extreme Scene from their programming lineup, their crack staff continues to remind everyone that incompetence runs rampant they're on top of things.  On their ‘Contact Us’ page (which is directly linked to the main page), lo and behold The Extreme Scene is listed as a contact.  Nice to see the management at Cumulus continue to prove that they have absolutely no idea what they’re doing.  Radio management in the 21st Century: It’s Fantastic!

Baja Odisea Map.jpg

The theme of this past year, since I began my stint as an unemployed traveler and freelance journalist, has been road trips. Following The Great KL&C Northwest Odyssey, the winds of adventure this time were blowing south, leading me to the great and vast southern extension of California that is Baja.

I'll tell you what I've been up to, a whole lot of everything. Doing three times as much & getting half the pay. Sound familiar? I'm not trying to be negative, but I'm sorry to let you all know the economy has shocked the extreme sports industry just as it has shocked the world. The only positive is that extreme sports are still somewhat of a niche, so it's not as affected as everything else.

Back On The Air (Sort Of)

Great White Shark Breaches Off Santa Monica Coast

Great White Breaching 1.jpg

When one thinks of Great Whites Sharks breaching the water, one normally references such frightful images of the Great Whites that reside in the waters off South Africa. Aggressive, mean Great Whites that breach the water to catch seals and other prey. Either one of said Great Whites decided to meander all the way to the Pacific Ocean waters off the coast of Santa Monica, CA, or said Great Whites are evolving.

Slater helped his teammate Simon Dyson finish first, with their team finishing third overall.
