SUMMARY:Saturday Afternoon with Russ Johnson
DESCRIPTION:Join Russ Johnson\, at Radio Central\, Saturday\, June 21 at 2:30 as he tells stories about how listening to the squeals of distant radio signals and talking to the world as a 13 year old ham radio operator inspired 25 years as  radio and TV broadcaster\, including KRON and KABL\, and a second career\, traveling the world as a filmmaker\, writer and photographer. He will be playing audio and video reliving both worlds\, including the wacky world of an all night DJ\, groupies and all\, covering a coup d’etat in Fiji for NPR\, joining the Royal Family of Ubud\, Bali for the wedding of a prince\, and nerding out with Arthur C. Clarke in Sri Lanka as he redesigns the surface of Mars. \nHow Radio Inspired My Wanderlust \nWhen Russ Johnson first encountered a mysterious green blob on the map called Borneo as a ham radio operator at age 13\, little did he know that Radio would inspire a career in broadcasting and take him to some sixty countries as a writer\, photographer\, and filmmaker. Russ will share his radio and travel adventures through stories\, recordings and pictures. \nAs a child\, Russ listened to 50 thousand-watt voices from afar crackling through the speaker of the Bakelite radio in his room\, heard the beeping signal of Sputnik\, and became a ham operator (W6NFC). Following a career in broadcasting at WCCO\, KOVR\, KRON\, KABL\, and NPR\, and teaching broadcast journalism at San Francisco State\, he started a media production and consulting company that took him around the world for clients including the UN and American Express\, and to the real Borneo\, where he lay in a riverboat on the equator gazing at the stars of both hemispheres and musing about the mysteries of  earth. \nRuss’ groundbreaking web magazine\, https://connectedtraveler.com\, featured audio and video as early as 1994. It received coverage on CNN\, CBS\, the BBC\, Time\, USA Today\, The Wall Street Journal\, the Guardian and the Daily Telegraph. \nFor nine years\, Russ streamed Connected Traveler Radio\, a world culture and music radio station\, on his own invention\,  the World Vibrations Radio Station and Podcaster\, a VCR-sized device which was touted in numerous publications as a means to “democratize radio.” It was adopted by colleges\, school districts\, music producers and recommended by UNESCO for use in developing countries.” \nHe is author of the travel memoir “Tales of the Radio Traveler” and hosts the humor podcast “Gone Astray\,” with a book of the same name. \nhttps://russelljohnson.com \n  \nRegister Here\n\n  \n\n				Email a link to a friend (Opens in new window)\n				Email\n			\n				Share on Facebook (Opens in new window)\n				Facebook\n			\n				Share on X (Opens in new window)\n				X\n			\n				Share on Bluesky (Opens in new window)\n				Bluesky\n			\n				Share on Mastodon (Opens in new window)\n				Mastodon\n			\n				Share on WhatsApp (Opens in new window)\n				WhatsApp
