My culinary broadcasting debut

Posted on by

Laura at Fixin’ Supper, were your ears burning this morning at about 11 a.m.?

Former Shelbyville mayor Geneva Smith has a weekly cooking show on WLIJ-AM (1580), one of our two co-owned AM stations in Shelbyville and the one with most of the local programming. Each week, she has a guest who talks about several of their favorite recipes. I was her guest this morning.

Mrs. Smith had asked me to bring several recipes to talk about on-air. I went looking last night for good ones to bring, and Laura’s Ro-Tel Risotto leaped out at me. It was the first recipe I talked about this morning, and the one that Mrs. Smith — not to mention my co-workers back at the paper who had been listening — seemed most interested in making. I did give you credit, Laura.

    It was my _culinary_ broadcasting debut, but far from my radio debut. I worked in radio from age 15 until I went off to college, and for a year after college, and I even briefly had a talk show on one of the two local AM stations here. (I loved the show but hated the work of booking guests.)
