I’m going to cause my co-blogger some embarrassment, but this pitch break he did on his station in Portland is such a heartwarming expression of how Jack feels about classical radio, and I thought you might like to hear it. The clip starts with violinist Gil Shaham saying how lucky Portland is to have a full time classical station. Mid-day host Christa Wessel responds. Then Jack talks about programming intelligently and about how listeners are partners in the process.
