Since September 2004 I have hosted a talk show on local Sarasota radio Monday thru Friday, now broadcasting from 4 - 5 pm, called Talk of the Sun Coast.  I currently broadcast on 1220 AM WSRQ.
The show's hour-long format centres around my in-studio guest of the day, but I also incorporate telephone interviews, current events, anecdotes, competitions, giveaways etc. into the show every day.

I've been very fortunate in being able to invite some of the Sun Coast's most interesting personalities and visitors on to the show - a true "who's who". I would like to take this opportunity to thank all my guests and interview partners, and if you'd like to see what they look like, please go to Photos; these are not clickable audio files either, so if you'd like to hear the interviews, go to Recent Interviews on my homepage, or write me at RoCli17@aol.com if you would like me to send you the link to an older show.
