Fifty years. Five. Zero.Most of us can't commit to a gym membership for six months, but John Ulett somehow managed to spend half a century building one of the most iconic careers in St. Louis radio. So naturally, we invited him into the studio to relive some of the stories, memories, and absolutely unbelievable moments that happened along the way.In this episode, John takes us back to the early days of KSHE when the station operated out of a dark little building where listeners could literally walk up to the studio window, yell at the DJs, buy concert tickets, and occasionally make everyone question their personal safety. It was radio in its purest form: chaotic, unpredictable, and probably a nightmare for insurance companies.We hear stories about legendary artists before they became household names, including musicians who walked through the station doors with nothing but ambition and a record company hoping they might become stars. Some did. Some didn't. But the memories are priceless.The conversation also dives into what it means to survive decades in an industry that constantly changes. Different owners. Different consultants. Different trends. Endless people telling you how to do your job. Through it all, John managed to stay himself, which might secretly be the best career advice anyone could ever receive.Of course, this wouldn't be The Rizzuto Show if things stayed serious for very long.The gang explores imposter syndrome, old radio tapes, embarrassing moments from earlier careers, and the universal fear that someday somebody will figure out none of us actually know what we're doing. Spoiler alert: apparently that feeling never goes away, even after 50 years behind a microphone.Then come the listener stories.Some are heartwarming. Some are hilarious. And one is the kind of story that makes everyone in the room simultaneously laugh and look over their shoulder. Let's just say when a listener attends broadcasting school specifically to sound exactly like you, things can get weird in a hurry.We also talk about the upcoming celebration honoring John's remarkable career, what semi-retirement actually looks like for someone who never really stops working, and why St. Louis radio remains one of the most unique broadcasting communities in the country.If you enjoy a daily comedy show filled with legendary radio stories, unforgettable personalities, and enough sarcasm to keep things honest, you're in the right place. This episode is packed with nostalgia, laughs, heartfelt moments, and a reminder that the people who make the biggest impact often don't realize it themselves.Whether you've been listening to John Ulett for decades or you're hearing these stories for the first time, you'll walk away with a deeper appreciation for the voices that helped shape St. Louis radio.And if you're just here for the ridiculous stories, don't worry—we've got plenty of those too.Because no matter how much broadcasting changes, one thing remains true: give a bunch of radio people microphones and eventually somebody ends up talking about ghosts, weird listeners, embarrassing old recordings, and life lessons nobody asked for.Just another perfectly normal day on a daily comedy show.Thanks for listening to this daily comedy show, and thanks for being part of the weird little family that makes all of this possible.Follow The Rizzuto Show → https://linktr.ee/rizzshow for more from your favorite daily comedy show.Connect with The Rizzuto Show Comedy Podcast online → https://1057thepoint.com/RizzShow.Hear The Rizz Show daily on the radio at 105.7 The Point | Hubbard Radio in St. Louis, MO.New downtown St. Louis food hall set to open this fall‘She’s Only Seven’: Mom Sides With Daughter Who Flipped Off Elderly Man at Grocery StoreMan accused of choking coworker at McAlister's Deli after she got promotion he wantedMan fleeing DWI stop attacked by alligator after jumping into swampÖtzi the Iceman is long dead, but some of his ancient microbes are still aliveAlice Cooper thanks Arizona man who found his credit card at a Payson gas stationSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
