10 Questions with ... Jason RantzBRIEF CAREER SYNOPSIS:
I started in radio as a screener at KLSX in Los Angeles and worked my way up to producer. I've worked at KFI as a producer, Greenstone Media as an Executive Producer, and Talk Radio Network as an Executive Producer (for the Phil Hendrie Show). At KIRO, I was Assistant Program Director and at KTTH, I'm Program Director.
1. What got you into radio in the first place? How did you get started in this thing?
I loved talk radio as a young teen. I would listen every morning when my mom took me to and from school and when I got a day off, I'd ride in the car with my dad listening to Stern. I fell in love with the art... the theater of talk radio. I got started when, at 15, I emailed XTRA Sports in Los Angeles asking if they were looking for interns. They ended up hiring me as a "reporter" for a kid-focused sports show, then I was hired at KLSX as a screener by the host of a weekend brokered show after I kept emailing the show trying to get a job. From there, I worked my way up the ladder a KLSX, then later KFI.
