Bio

I started listening to Loveline in the 6th grade. All I had to listen with was a cheap clock radio. I would put it under my ear like a pillow and listen to the entire show that way so I wouldn’t get in trouble for staying up so late. I later got a CD player with a digital tuner and headphones.

Sadly KRock in Syracuse, NY dropped the show in early 2004 and I was forced to stop listening. I discovered some of the low bit rate shows on file sharing programs a few months later and started downloading them. I had dial up at the time and wasn’t able to download the higher quality stuff from the other websites. Eventually we got higher speed Internet and I downloaded as many shows as I could get my hands on.

That wasn’t enough though. I knew I was missing out on the early years of Loveline and decided to search the interwebs for any old shows people may have. I’ve worked with a number of tape traders who would trade me their old Loveline shows for other interviews and bootlegs they were seeking. Several generous sources (such as Jeff, the creator of this site) have come forward over the years and donated cassette tape recordings they made for themselves years back to be transferred to mp3 files by Giovanni. Eventually I hope we complete the entire archive.
