KSL1160 AM News Radio - Salt Lake City, UT
KSL1160 is by far the most popular news radio station in Utah and one of the oldest. They have a powerful presence here and I was quite
honored when they asked me to participate in a special report that was put together about how people were beating high gas
prices. Distinguished reporter, Jon Dunn, got ahold of me
and included me in his two part segment on beating fuel prices. The show aired during their peak news time, early in the morning
with the morning drive. I had a lot of fun doing this interview!

Every Saturday from 10-11 AM, KALL 700 a.k.a. "Hot Ticket 700" AM Radio broadcasts a show called Car Time. Two professional auto mechanics host the show

CBC News Radio - As It Happens, Toronto, Ontario, Canada
On June 14th, 2006, a radio show called
As It Happens, from Canadian-based
CBC Radio contacted me for an interview in regards to a
newspaper article
that I was the focus of on Oil Collection issues in Salt Lake County. The interview lasted about 7 minutes
and was a lot of fun. It's by far the furthest away place that's ever asked to interview me. The interview was then
aired over CBC Radio on all of their syndicated news stations and also put on Satellite Radio. CBC Radio is the equivalent
of National Public Radio in the United States.
