Me too! I gave up on Kpig once they fired all my favorite DJs. Was sad but thank goodness Bill and Rebecca pulled me through it. So yeah my handle is a leftover in tribute to the station and K-Fat actually too :) Oh and Hog Ranch radio at the Strawberry festival and and................

Hi folks,

I listened to a very informative podcast about the genesis of web radio; I thought it might be of some interest for those here:

http://www.radiosurvivor.com/2018/09/25/podcast-160-marking-a-quarter-century-of-internet-radio/

The host mentions that KPIG was the first commercial radio station to stream in the US (possibly globally). I know Bill was involved at KPIG and I think had a hand in getting that stream online.

The Radio Survivor podcast is one of my favourites and is good listening for the radio geeks among us.

KPIG led me to RP, always thought it was cool to hear the Surf report while sitting in my office in New Jersey.

This one isn't very in-depth, but it's fun. Ah: Here's the one I haven't read in a decade. Super geeky, but you can see why I snorked at "had a hand" ...

We should have the FBI and special counsel do a thorough background check on such rumors. And have the Senate Committee on InterWebtivity serve said Goldsmith with a subpoena.

Full body cavity search! Deep and hard!
