The Wheels Staff

Most people think that to put on a radio show all you basically need is:

1. The Host
2. Someone to operate the mixing board

Many radio shows, of course, do operate in that fashion. But I'm proud to say that "Wheels" is far more of a group effort. Here's how we put the show together, each of 52 weeks a year.

First off, on the average day, we download and print 80 to 100 national and international news stories directly relating to the automotive industry, government regulations that affect automobile owners, economic stories that impact our GDP, and car companies' or related industries' press releases.

Then again I have personal friends who work for news magazines, such as Car & Driver (to which I was once a contributing writer), Business Week, of which I was along term contributing writer, and Bloomberg News.

On Fridays I start discarding stories that I think will have little impact on my audience. From there the outline of the show is written, "Second Hand News" and "The Backside of American History" is recorded.

Come Saturday morning, we all fervently hope that, after all this work, "Wheels" is entertaining, fun and informative.
