Racketeer Radio KFQX The New Golden Age of Radio
A Clean Image with a Smokers Cough – WDFM Well, I’ll be hornswoggled! Here I am, traipsing through The Presidio – a place that’s seen its share of soldiering and we’re on the proul for the house of the mouse. A regular shrine to Mr. Walt Disney himself. A museum dedicated to the man who made a mouse a global sensation. It’s a caution, I tell you. Like finding a […]
Raisin The Riffs Greetings, listeners, from… Fresno! Yes, Fresno. The name conjures images of raisins. Let’s be honest, my expectations weren't exactly soaring. I pictured endless fields of sun-dried grapes, maybe a raisin-themed amusement park. I braced myself for… well, let's just say a raisin-fueled experience of questionable artistic merit.

The Great Gatsby Parade, the Parasol Grand Parade, the Costume & Masquerade Parade– it's like a regular fashion week, but with more […]
A Call to the Wild: Mardi Gras Gold in California Forget the decadent rot of New Orleans, you soft-bellied, lily-livered saps. If you crave the raw, untamed spirit of Mardi Gras, the real gold, then you must head inland to the very heart of California. Forget the Mississippi mud; we're talking Fresno, where the Sierra Nevada casts a long shadow and the jazz is as hot as a blacksmith's forge. […]
Maxfield Hunt | Racketeer Broadcast Association Look here, folks. San Francisco. City of fog, sure, and those infernal cable cars that clatter like a pack of jackasses on cobblestones. Thankfully, San Francisco has the technological advantage of cable cars. But all that aside, there's more than sourdough and bawdy sing-alongs down by the docks. Now, on the 15th of May, I found myself on one of these city-sanctioned walking tours. […]
