Sam in the Morning with Manu

Sam Hasson

Bio: 

What do I say about myself on my own website? Wait, I could say anything I want: it's MY website! For the sake of good radio I won't tell you my entire life story here. Instead, I invite you discover who I am and what I'm about on the air. Rather than tell you, I'll show you. What drives me is an insatiable curiosity to know and do everything. And then pass on what I have learned to other people. Does that sound like someone who ought to be in radio?

 

In the past twelve years I have had several co-hosts, each great in her own way. It's amazing how I have evolved on the air and the different directions I have taken over the years. I thank all of the listeners who have followed me through the various incarnations of my morning show, the reason this radio station was conceived. sam@latalkradio.com

Our phone guest, Traci Thomas, told us about her off-the-wall inventions and the movement to end handshaking in America.

02/27/2008

02/19/2008

Castro resigned today, elections were held in 3 states, the stock market is up. But we barely talk about any of that stuff. Instead we discussed the different races of space aliens. Pathetic. But we also discussed addictions and listened to a clip about animals' sex life, and we had a great guest, actor Randy Tobin, who discussed his upcoming movie, "American Poop Movie." That's the real title!
