Transcription Any written text transcribed from a sound Transcription of audio snippet: Bob Friedman: Louisville. That’s what he said. Right. But maybe you could start by just letting us know how you got started in radio. How that actually happened. William Faush: Well I got really started at WEDR. It was of a short [inaudible]. I just happened to have been there one day talking to a friend of mine whose name eludes me at the moment. B: Who worked there? W: Yes. B: Well I can tell you because I’ve spoken to most of them. W: Yes. B: So would it be Ben Alexander? Or Frank Smart? Or Wiley Daniels? Those are some of the earliest. E.X. Brown? W: It might have been Wiley Daniels. B: Mmhm. Lived out in Titusville. W: Yes. It might have been he. Anyway, there was a parade going down 4th Ave. And he’s looking out of the window, describing the parade. And that was enough of that I was standing there with him, he gave me the mic and told me to describe what I saw and I did that and I stayed there for about 5 months. 5 or 6 months. And Jess Lenier (2:12) who was then the mayor I believe of Bessemer converted a hillbilly station there in Bessemer overnight into black radio. B: Do you know how long it had been hillbilly? W: No I do not. I would think not too long. But Larry McKenzie out of Chicago and Eddie Castleberry out of New York and myself. We were the 3 who started up WED – I mean WBCO B: So Eddie Castleberry worked at BCO? W: That is correct.
