Robert started listening to KSHE because of his older brothers. When they were going up, he was the youngest brother. He always wanted to hang out with his big brothers and be like them. He remembers them talking about KSHE and Sweetmeat. He saw a picture of Sweetmeat and he thought that is was the coolest thing ever. He thinks he was like maybe 10 or 11 years old
Robert likes the way KSHE has always kept it real for the rock and roll community in the area
Robert loves all the KSHE disc jockeys, but he has to say that U-Man, Lern, and Mark Klose are his favorites
Robert loves the KSHE Morning Rock Show
Robert’s favorite thing about KSHE is that the station has always played rock ’n roll and has never changed formats
Robert is a single parent and has two wonderful daughters. His one daughter likes KSHE just as much as he does and she’s a big fan of Pink Floyd
Robert works at a place called Stone Wheel, Inc. He drives a delivery truck all around the St. Louis metro area delivering car parts, so he gets to listen to KSHE all day long
