On Talk of the Bay May 2, 2022, Christine Barrington goes Behind the Mic with Bruce Larson, KSQD DJ and co-host of Tuesday’s Don’t Fence Me In.
Local Radio, it turns out, is not just a humdrum affair. It has featured strange people saying odd, perceptive, and occasionally wise things, as well as playing music other than top 40 and classical war horses while turning listeners on their ears. If you’ve ever listened to local FM music in Santa Cruz, chances are you have spent some time enjoying Bruce’s eclectic musical charms. He has been an integral part of the Santa Cruz’ community radio scene from its very first fledgling steps. Not only that, he has continued to play a role consistently, year after year, to this day. The Radio world beats close to the heart of who Bruce is, and because of his behind the scene presence at the birth of our local broadcasting universe, I thought we’d all like to know a bit more about him…
Bruce wonders if this might be the radio transmission tower?
