“The Huckleberry Radio Hour” is a throwback to those old radio days with
a lot of today. Each show features Michigan’s Troubadour, Neil Woodward,
a man who has entertained thousands over the years with his fiddle and
stories. The host and producer of the “Huckleberry Radio Hour” is well
known, local broadcaster Michael J. Thorp.
The “Huckleberry Radio Hour” will have a special guest artist on each
show.
These live radio events will air throughout the summer, Every “Huckleberry
Radio Hour” will begin at 7PM and be heard on Flint’s WFNT Radio 1470AM,
and will be heard worldwide on the internet.
Michael J. Thorp, who is producing as well as hosting the show said,
“when you think of the “Huckleberry Radio Hour”, think of a combination
of those classic radio shows, “The Grand Ole Opry” and “A Prairie Home
Companion.” “If you don’t have memories of those old radio days, “The
Huckleberry Radio Hour” will give you some.”
The music, the commercials, even the sound effects will all be performed
live as part of the production. Veteran local actor and director Jon
Coggins joins the cast as the Foley Artist. That means he will create,
live, all of the sound effects used on the show.
The “Huckleberry Radio Hour will also feature its own soap opera, “As
the Village Turns.” It will look at the trials and tribulations of the
residents of historic Crossroads Village, Michigan. There will be story
telling and lots of music and fun in a jam packed hour of live
entertainment all on your radio and all live start to finish.
Since the “Huckleberry Radio Hour is a “Live” radio show, the studio
audience will play an important role. As Michael J. Thorp says, “The
audience is an essential part of the show”. “Without their response,
it’s not “Live” radio.”
