Aircheck: Radio Stories
AIRCHECK is a podcast about radio's personality from radio personalities. Whether you’re in the radio industry yourself, or have just have a love for the medium, each episode will take you backstage, in the studio and on the air at some of biggest radio stations in the country. You’ll live vicariously through radio stories and celebrity interviews shared by those who were privileged to have these opportunities. Some have also shared the actual audio from those moments frozen in time.
For those who find themselves the result of “reduction in force” you’ll appreciate the words of wisdom and advice from some of the radio industries best; Program Directors, General Managers, Consultants, Owners, Trade Journalists and the Air Personalities themselves who have successfully applied their skillset elsewhere.

Neal Mirsky: From Florida Rock Radio to MTV Fame & Producing Howard Stern
On this episode we sit down and talk to former Rock Radio Programmer, Air Talent, MTV Coordinating Producer Neal Mirsky, who was voted "Rock Program Director of the Year" by his peers in 1998, 2000 and 2002. After spending many years on Rock Radio stations in Florida, hear how Neal became a radio star on the video channel "MTV". Neal has also produced the nationally syndicated "Howard Stern Show" and shares a not so flattering moment on the air with Stern. Neal shares with us his relationship with David Bowie and we got him to admit to his appearance, as a kid actor, on "Car 54 Where Are You?".
