Made Recordings Instead Of Letters

THE MOUTH, NOVEMBER 13TH, 2012 –– While the country paid tribute to our military veterans yesterday, for at least one morning host the occasion still brings stark and painful memories. 95.1 The Brew/Rochester's iconic morning host, Brother Wease, known then as Alan Levin, was a lanky teen stationed in the northern highlands of Viet Nam back in the late '60's. He told WHEC TV "We were cold and wet. It was terrible. Leeches and mountains, so you really loved your guys you know.” But while most soldiers sent letters home, Wease used a tape recorder as a way for family members to hear about the war from the actual voice of a soldier. In one of the recordings (linked below) Wease said a colonel told him and fellow soldiers to burn down a small village full of women and children. It's still one of the hardest things for him to listen to. “It's pretty uncomfortable for me. Very uncomfortable for me to hear them, and interesting because it was my life ... People should hear some reality. This is real, this is not any fake crap, and it's ugly. it's ugly and nasty but it's true.” Wease added, "It was like a movie, I mean it was an unbelievable experience. I'm lucky to be alive... ” WATCH VIDEO 1

Have you been on ‘60 Minutes’?” " “Just a soccer mom having a good time." she told Imus. Cohost Warner Wolf commented that whenever Patraeus name came up, she looked away from the camera.

Lego Radio Jumps On Bieber Bandwagon

THE MOUTH, NOVEMBER 3TH, 2012 –– We confess, there's really not much of a story here as much as something we thought you would you would get a kick from. From Airquest Productions, comes Lego Radio, 98.3. Built and animated with nothing more than legos, it presents the Lego Radio Contest. The premise is basic. Caller has to tell jock who the number one station is for hooking her up and she gives the wrong station, of course. Apparently, Airquest does quite a bit of Lego animation. Always interesting to see how radio is perceived, or portrayed by others. WATCH VIDEO
