The Mark Isler Show on AM 870 The Answer

Growing up, I was a huge fan of radio. After spending the first 13 years of my professional career in the business, that love for radio still stands. There are so many unique shows out there today, but I have always been a fan of Mark Isler’s Saturday night show on AM 870 The Answer in Los Angeles.

I was thrilled when I found out that I had the opportunity to be a guest during Mark’s “House Party” in the 10 pm hour on Sunday, December 2, My co-panelists and I had a blast talking about movies, TV, and of course, the holiday season!

Mark is an accomplished educator, successful businessman, and radio personality. In 2011, Mark decided to bring his talent to AM 870 the Answer. With Mark’s ability to combine knowledge and humor, his Saturday night show has seen much success in the Southern California market and podcast communities.

The Mark Isler Show is live every Saturday night on AM 870 The Answer from 9 pm to 11 pm (PST). For more information, click here or call 1-866-870-5752 during Mark’s show for a chance to be a part of the discussion. You can also visit him on Facebook or Twitter.

Response Expo 2012!

Last week, I attended the Response Expo in San Diego. The expo was a lot of fun and it was definitely nice to see some of the faces behind products I’ve done voice over for.

What is so great about Response Expo is that they bring together industry leaders from the corporate marketing arena and create valuable networking opportunities for marketers, direct response agencies, advertising executives and those in the television world. So many different kinds of people that use direct response marketing on television, on the radio, in print, online or even in the mobile/wireless world, all attended last week—including me!

Continuing on the overwhelming success of last year’s event, Response Expo 2012 was back with a full track of educational sessions that featured the newest ideas and biggest names in direct response marketing. There was also a bustling expo hall floor and several networking events, including the fifth annual Response Expo Golf Tournament. By the way, have I ever mentioned my golf skills? Considering that I haven’t played since I was ten years old, let’s just assume that there’s a good reason for that.

It was truly a lot of fun and made for a fantastic networking opportunity. And because it is all about networking (and you never seem to know whom you’re going to see), I bumped into my long time friend Bob Hastings from Salem Broadcasting, while walking the expo. After catching up with Bob, I chatted with Matt Edgar, Publisher of DMI News, who had us reminiscing about our favorite 80’s groups like Howard Jones, The Style Council, and Level 42! Lastly, I also met a few nice folks that came all the way down from Toronto for the Response Expo, and don’t worry, I made sure to let them know that Degrassi is my favorite TV show!

You know, seeing old friends and making new ones at Response in San Diego was an all around good time and I am already looking forward to next year. Who knows, maybe I’ll even golf?

And by the way- check out these thumb drives that I’m using as promotional tools. They turned out really cool!
