The Captain

I must be the luckiest guy in the world to be able to captain one of the greatest rock stations in the USA! I’ve been on the Blimp for over 30 years, and no two days have ever been the same. I think that’s what gets me up at the crack of dawn. I call Blimp listeners “friends I’ve never met,” and it’s true. We share a common bond of living in Maine and a passion for Rock and Roll. It’s great to work with so many local charities and businesses as well. I'm wicked proud to represent Townsquare Media as Vice-Chair of the Board of Directors of the Maine Association of Broadcasters and as a board member of NESCom at Husson University. Thank you for all the years, and here’s to many more!

You Wouldn’t Believe How Many Payphones There Still Are in Portland, Maine
When was the last time you used a payphone? It's been a while, I bet. I'm still surprised whenever I see one around town and even more surprised to see someone using one! If you asked me where you could find one, I wouldn't be able to tell you. Even if I DID need a payphone, I wouldn't have the quarters to use them! But hey, I'm glad we still have them. Just. In. Case. Even though 97% of Americans own a smartphone, it's still profitable to have a payphone at your establishment. According to OKwhatever.com, if a payphone is used three times a day, it's still profitable. In 2015, payphones raked 280 million dollars a year!
Do You Remember the Legendary Zootz Nightclub in Portland, Maine?
Back in the '80s and early '90s, the coolest, hippest place to be in Portland was Zootz Nightclub. The club was at the top of Forest Avenue, downtown, and hosted all kinds of great bands and DJs. In fact, Zootz was one of the first clubs around where the DJs were headliners. Zootz had a super-inclusive vibe; it had an all-ages night every Friday night and was LGBTQ-friendly. Zootz had the magic-a place where you could let your freak flag fly and feel safe that you could be the person you wanted to be. A special place to dance and make friends. This was Portland's Hang Out. Kris Clark was the founder, owner, and operator behind Zootz until around 1994.

The Most Spectacular Crashes Ever at Maine’s Beech Ridge Motor Speedway
Jaws were on the floor..or should we say, the track, last weekend when it was announced that Scarborough's iconic Beech Ridge Motor Speedway had been sold to an unnamed real estate developer. Not totally surprising, but certainly the end of an era. Beech Ridge started in 1949, and since then, over 2000 drivers have competed at this legendary short track.
