I believe that to do a great radio show, you need to do two things that are not at all compatible. You need to forget that the audience is there and constantly remember that they are. I know this sounds confusing but let me explain.

On one hand, you must immerse yourself in the content, focusing entirely on the conversation without constantly thinking about how the audience is reacting. On the other hand, you have to keep the audience in mind, making sure the direction of the show aligns with their interests and resonates with them. Finding that balance is key, and it can often feel like a tightrope walk.

The listeners of the I-95 Morning Show make this job much easier than your typical audience. Our listeners are tough, smart, loyal, forgiving, and highly engaged. When we hit a nerve—whether it's a positive response or a passionate debate—you can see it instantly because the I-95 Rock Mobile app chat will light up with comments. It’s always clear when something has struck a chord, and we love sharing those moments with our listeners because they’re often witty, intelligent, and humorous.

But the app offers more than just text responses. Listeners can send photos, videos, and even audio clips directly to the show in seconds. Recently, I decided to go through the inbox and compile a small collection of the eclectic and unique content our listeners have sent our way. The creativity and variety in their contributions never cease to amaze me.

Amazing Pictures and Facts About I-95 (WRKI) and it's Broadcast Tower

Mark Weiss is a retired broadcast engineer, avid I-95 listener and a drone enthusiast. Recently, I published an article that featured drone photography and Mark messaged me and said, "that's nothing, you should see what I have."

I asked him to share what he had and he sent these stunning photos. He photographed the I-95 (WRKI) broadcast tower from above. Weiss shot the photos in 2018. He sent them to me and attached a note that read: "Flown by DJI Phantom 4 Pro 2.0."

Rather than just publish the photos, I wanted to add some accessory information. I spoke to a few current employees, a few former employees and dug through the oldest file cabinet we have to find out some things, even I didn't know. These are some amazing photos of our broadcast tower and some fun information about it's history and the history of I-95.
