Ep. 102 Today's Peep Reflects on Earth Radio's Impact on my Youth, the Pain of Rock-to-Disco Shift, Beloved Transistor Radio Memories, the Boston Celtics' 18th NBA Championship Victory, and it's that Same Ol' Feeling in Today's Ultra- Rare Record Spin

Pat's Peeps Podcast

Ever wondered how a radio station could shape someone's formative years? Join me as we reminisce about Earth Radio 102 in Sacramento, where an eclectic mix of rock and deep cuts from Johnny Winter and the Grateful Dead filled the airwaves. We'll uncover the heartbreak that came with the station's shift from rock to disco in 1980 and revisit the golden days of tuning into KFBK on my beloved Panasonic R70 transistor radio, a symbol of my early love for music and broadcasting.
Switching gears, we'll also be celebrating the Boston Celtics' recent NBA championship victory, their 18th title! As a lifelong fan, I reflect on my family's deep-rooted love for the team, from the days of Havlicek, Dave Cowens, and JoJo White to the iconic coaching era of Red Auerbach. We'll talk about Auerbach's legendary victory cigar, the intense Celtics-Lakers rivalry of the 1980s, and the unique atmosphere of the old Boston Garden. Tune in for a journey through music, sports, and unforgettable memories that have shaped my fandom and passion.
