We were honoured to have legendary DJ Ken Dashow (Q104.3 FM in New York) join us for Episode 231!
If you are in or from the NYC area and a Beatles fan you will know this voice by heart! Ken has been on the air in NYC since 1982. He began his career in earnest starting out at WNEW 102.7 (Where Rock "Lived") and has been at Q104.3 (iHeartMedia) since 1997.
He is the afternoon drive host during weekdays and on Sunday's hosts his own "Breakfast With The Beatles" programme. A Native New Yorker (like Andy), he has a career in radio that is second to none in terms of his staying power, his love for what he does and the message he continues to deliver every day to his listeners. He has interviewed Paul on two occasions and maintained a life long friendship with Denny Laine (which we cover in this episode) up until his passing last week.
Ken has relationships and friendships with colleagues across the rock world, (including members of Wings) and notably Little Steven Van Zandt (Come on Stevie, prog ain't that bad!) as well as Paul's current touring band.
Ken has also served as the MC at the Fest For Beatles Fans for a number of years now and can be found at the NY/NJ Fest every year on the Main Stage. We discuss the recent Beatles news, stories of meeting Paul and Denny and his career overall.
This will go down as one of our favourite episodes ever and we thank Ken for the time he gave us!
