Radio City With Jon Grayson & Rob Ross: Episode Two Hundred Twenty Three – The Finale
This is one piece I didn’t want to have to write for Popdose, even though it’s been a great run and eight years…
This is the last episode of Radio City With Jon Grayson & Rob Ross for the foreseeable future; we’re going on indefinite hiatus. Changes come to everyone; it happens – and this podcast has been one of the true joys of my life. We may be back sooner; we may be back later or this may be the end. But it has been an incredible experience that I never imagined when we started in February, 2017.
Working with Jon is the easiest thing in the world. From the moment he had me on “Overnight America” for the first time in August 2013, we clicked – like two old friends who had just reconnected after so many years separated. He’s been the consummate professional and a brother. I could not have asked for more.
Doing Radio City… itself was an unbelievable education. When we started it, we wanted it to be a continuation of our weekly chats on “Overnight America” without the time constraints and need for self-editing and censoring. Those first few episodes were, indeed, very much like our “ON” slot – until Jon said a cuss word and I realized “oh, yeah – we’re free…” As time went on, the shows expanded and grew as did the bond between Jon and I and the scope of the show itself. At the outset, I would send Jon bullet points of what we should talk about and that was the script. After one really good show that was actually lost because of a technical glitch (okay, disaster), we did a “make up” show, completely improvised – and that was the turning point. From then on, it really took off in the most organic way possible.
Part of this was the recurring theme of the emails and messages I would get about the show: “a conversation between two friends that everyone is invited to listen in to”. That became the foundation. And it’s kept us going through these eight years. So I thank the wonderful number of listeners, especially the ones who reached out from other areas of the planet! That’s been an absolute thrill.
Jon is now about to go on a completely different adventure; I wish he and Jen love, good fortune and endless happiness. And to everyone who listened in to Radio City…, thank you from the bottom of my heart. I am forever grateful to you.
With much love, Rob
