Name: The Other Side - Pledge Drive 8.06.2000 by Joe Frank
Duration: 6 min 30 s
Description: Newly found: A KCRW (Santa Monica CA) radio station pledge drive. Joe recalls his dream: Arriving at the radio station for a pledge drive, Joe is disheartened by the legions of fans Harry Schearer has. And that no one listens to his show anymore. No one does pledge drives like Joe.

Was living in LA /Beach Cities area when this first aired on KCRW. Was already a J.F. fan by then! He is and will always be a strong influence in my own work.

I absolutely love Joe Frank. Check out "Eye in the Sky" ( for you Angelenos and everybody else)

The problem was no one knew that had to pledge during the show they liked to " vote" for Frank.

I just purchased the full program. I know you're out there Joe. My hero

Haha, amazing as always. The firing is razer-sharp. Much missed, Joe! 

I would love to start a new Company and focus hiring on Joe Frank fans...
