Houston Matters features my "Runaway Radio" 101 KLOL doc


Thanks to Craig Cohen and crew for having me on Houston Public Media's "Houston Matters" on News 88.7 KUHF at 9am!

I've been going on this show since it started 10 years ago and telling the staff about this documentary, so you know we finally reached a milestone if I could talk about it on the Houston Matters airwaves!

    “‘Runaway Radio,’ a documentary celebrating the wild and woozy heyday of the pioneering local rock radio station KLOL-FM. On the air from 1970 to 2004, KLOL transformed over its life from shaggy, free-form anarchy to loudmouth, shock-jock insanity, all the while providing the guitar-heavy soundtrack for a couple of generations of head-banging Houstonians.”

    – Cary Darling, Houston Chronicle


    “Freedom is a theme that comes up frequently in Runaway Radio, a film produced and directed by Houston media blogger Mike McGuff. KLOL broke damn near every rule that had previously governed FM radio, raising a middle finger to local blue noses and keepers of decency for over thirty years. Meantime, KLOL was generating huge ratings and even bigger profits as one of the most successful rock and roll stations in the country. We’re talking powerhouse. The Big Kahuna. King Kong.”

    – Tom Richards, Houston Press


    “The writer-director keeps the documentary moving at a swift pace while cramming a substantial amount of information in the 83-minute running time making this a must-see for rock fans.”

    – Joe Friar, Fort Worth Report
