Probably one of the best interviewers in the industry—crusty ole ba*tard though!
Oh No — First Melanie and now Lee! This is terrible news.
Yes, I totally agree about his interviews. He gets tremendous authors and really does his homework for the interviews.
What’s his monthly feature...something like the “Word Man” — the guy who knows all about the English language. I love listening to that show (last Friday of the month, I think).
Six or seven years ago, I was queasy from leaving the ER as my wife tried to tank up in the South Bay and was having trouble with the pump. She was not very familiar with our new car. I was in no condition to help and Brian Sussman steps in, introduces himself, lends a hand, and composes my wife. Not normal for the Bay Area and certainly not normal for a local celeb.
The real thing.
Rogers is a very good interviewer, and KSFO has had many interesting guests over the last few years, no doubt due in part to his being there. But I can’t say I’ll miss him. “Crusty old b*st*rd” doesn’t begin to describe him! I can well do without his sometimes sophomoric humor.
