I've recently taken up the bad habit of blogging and today I was inspired by your show which I listen to at least 4 days of the week. I hope I don't hurt any feelings with my comments but I was feeling honest and laid out my feelings/opinions of my favorite radio morning show. I'm not looking for anything in return, no begging for tickets or swag, but I thought you might appreciate knowing how I feel. I'm probably not what you would call an average listener since I love hard rock and heavy metal and I drive a dump truck. Lucky for me you four put on a great local program that I enjoy enough to listen to T.I. just so I won't miss a word of the show.

“There’s nothing romantic about surgery,” says Miguel Fuller of my favorite morning show, That Guy Kramer in the Morning. This show is on our local teeny-bopper station Island 106. Though I don’t like most of the music the station plays I love the interplay of the four cast members. Steven Kramer – the ambiguously sexual host is uptight and anxiety-ridden. His personality keeps the show together and really keeps the fun flowing. He has earned the top spot on his show through his Herculean efforts of maintaining control of the chaos that we call entertainment. Holly O’Connor-Sciolino. I probably spelled that wrong but I’m not Italian so maybe I can get away with it. Holly’s got a wild streak that makes her quite delectable. She’s the counterpoint to Kramer and their frictional relationship creates no end of hilarity and sometimes that rare moment of behind-the-scenes type openness that really helps draw listeners into a radio talk show. Her ability to talk about pretty much every aspect of her life without embarrassment or exaggeration adds a wonderfully human, sincere touch to the show. Miguel F. Fuller – Openly gay (not like Kramer) and black (also, not like Kramer). He’s the comic relief most times since he’ll go off on tangents spouting nonsense of racial/homosexual discrimination that he hasn’t experienced in his job. It is, however, hilarious to hear him explode and he’s probably a lot of fun to hang out with. It’s nice to hear him talk frankly about his life as a double-minority and it makes me feel good to hear the acceptance he gets from his fellow cast members. Miguel may possibly be destined for super-stardom if he ever breaks free from the black hole we call Bay County. Mandy Williamson – Mandy is hot. I know it’s a radio show but they have their pictures all over the internet and they host the annual Christmas parade. Holly is attractive but Mandy makes men howl. Unfortunately she has a serious self-confidence problem that is slowly dwindling. It’s been quite nice to hear her come out of her shell. As the only parent on the show we (meaning other parents) get to hear a different perspective on common problems parents face. Since she worked her way from unpaid intern to full time producer the show has become even more wonderful. In review, I really love the That Guy Kramer in the Morning radio show on Island 106. I listen to the program even though I detest the music of Pit Bull, Rihanna, Chris Brown and most of the rest of the station’s music line up. I hope they stick around our airwaves for a few years so I don’t have to listen to the schmucks on the other morning shows, most of whom live hundreds of miles from here and have no idea of what our lives are about here in PC, FL. Without the combination of Kramer, Holly, Miguel and Mandy this show wouldn’t be the amazing program that we know and love. Perhaps these four hooligans can remain friends long enough to see me through to retirement so I don’t have to listen to wind noise in my dump truck at work just to stave off impending insanity.
