EllisFam Interviews

 

I have asked for the EllisFam to do a small 8 question interview so that we may get to know one another and how The Jason Ellis Show has changed or impacted our lives. These are their reply’s, unedited and all in their own words. I hope you enjoy this as much as I do, and thank you to everyone who participated. Without you all this wouldn’t be possible.

  1. Where do you live? Suburban Philadelphia born and raised, now on the Philly playgrounds is where I spend most of my days. Chilling out, maxing, relaxing all cool…
  2. What is your occupation? Military aviation parts and part time pirate. And if some Homeland security official typed those terms into Google and found this page, no I am not a terrorist.
  3. Tell me a little about yourself. I don’t answer questions like that unless a job, a date, or a free beer is on the line.
  4. How long have you listened to TJES? Late 2007-ish   
  5. How did you discover TJES? I work an incredibly boring job with incredibly boring and annoying people for a ridiculous amount of time each week. Fortunately we are allowed to wear headphones. Early on I quickly became very interested in radio. Around this time Stern was leaving for Sirius and the local rock station (WYSP) was trying out an all-talk format called ‘Free FM’. They brought in a young guy called ‘Kidd Chris’ to do afternoons and he just blew me away. He was hilarious, he had great cast of characters, and they did some of the best phony phone calls & parody songs that, till this day, I’ve ever heard. The guys at work were all Stern fans. They got a Sirius receiver on 1/9/06 and after listening in for a few months I got one myself. With Howard in the morning and KC in the afternoon, all was good in my radio world till late 2007 when WYSP imploded the ‘Free FM’ format. They moved Kidd Chris to mornings (where he sucked and eventually got fired) and so I needed something to fill that ‘Kidd Chris fix’ in the afternoons. I eventually stumbled upon this Australian guy on Faction. It took me a couple weeks of on & off listening to get into the show, but I finally did and I have never looked back.
  6. What keeps you listening to TJES? I haven’t found anything to replace it.
  7. Has the show changed or impacted you life in any way? How? I’m not sure what it is, but this radio show is a bug light for awesome people. I have had the opportunity to become friendly with dozens of Ellisfam through Twitter, Facebook, Ellismanias, and east coast meet-ups over the years. They are all uniquely caring, funny, intelligent, talented, and motivational. 
  8. Is there anything else you would like to share? A snake that doesn’t bite teaches you nothing.
