    The Do!! You!!! show holds a unique proposition for breakfast radio. How would you describe your show and what inspired your approach?
    Organized chaos: I was always drawn to the mistakes, background noise and throwaway comments of radio, interviews, recordings and TV.

    I’m trying to get the show to the sound like Michael and the rest of the Jacksons doing the demo for Don’t Stop Till You Get Enough together. It’s the warmth: everyone is loose, laughing, stuff goes out of time, it gets started again but the joy is there. It’s alive, you can catch things half said. It’s not over produced, I think everyone is playing at their best.

    This atmosphere is what I’m striving for: people passing by and dropping in, contributing, spontaneous things happening. With a bit of Studs Terkel, a man able to draw fascinating stories out of anybody. And Bob Fass, a guy who was able to just let people talk and open up. This is the ideal I suffer with every day.
