Jordan Niednagel - JN Live!

From about age 15 to 18, I hosted my own "email radio show" called Jordan Niednagel Live! As with most of my creations, I was first inspired by someone, and that someone was conservative icon Randall Terry, who at the time hosted Randall Terry Live! I actually started the 1 minute show (remember, this was the mid 90s, where most had dialup and couldn't receive large attachments) for the sole purpose of encouraging a friend who had recently moved away from California to Idaho. I would interview people, inform him of the latest California news, etc. The show slowly evolved into a more broad-based program (covering all kinds of stuff) as it went out to more and more people. It also increased to about 3 minutes (whoa).

Anyway, below are a few selected shows that are personal favorites of mine. A talented friend of mine, Brian Ritz, used to come on the show for interviews and would play the role of different people, which made for some funny times. Other guests included Jon Drake, Jon Robison, Jeff Turney, my brother Jeremy, Marcus Schrader, and a few others. The last 30 or so shows I recorded in better quality, as MP3 technology had just come out. In any case, enjoy.

JN Live! - Jon Robison Interview - One of my first shows. We always used to joke that Jon Robison didn't have a brain type, hence the theme.	JN Live! - Farewell Speech - It was final in 1999 that we were to move to Missouri, so I gave an emotional farewell speech to my faithful listeners.	JN Live! - Jon Drake Interview - Jonathan Drake and I always had a great time doing interviews, and this one, though short, was no exception.
JN Live! - Jeff Turney Interview - Only those who know Jeff can really appreciate this interview, as his unique and quirky personality comest to life.	JN Live! - Antonio Silvano Series - Part 1 of the Dr. Antonio Silvano Series, here we see the doctor give hair advice to Billy Ray Johnson of Arkansas.	JN Live! - Antonio Silvano Series - Part 2 of the Dr. Antonio Silvano Series, here we see the doctor give hair advice Russian Vladimir Eshklana.
JN Live! - Antonio Silvano Series - Part 3 of the Dr. Antonio Silvano Series, here we see Brian Ritz (i.e. Silvano) struggle to contain himself as he starts laughing.	JN Live! -Mawell Pappallamelandes- This is one of my favorites, where Brian Ritz, as Mawell, interviews me about my childhood and interests.	JN Live! - Missouri Interview - With the anticipation of moving to Missouri, I decide to interview a born and raised resident of the state. Not a good idea.
JN Live! - Messups - I've always love messups when it comes to shows or what have you. Here are some slips from various JN Live! shows.	JN Live! - Herbert Soil Interview - My brother Jeremy kindly sits in for me along with special guest Herbert Soil (aka Brian Ritz). Pretty funny.	JN Live! - 50th Anniversary Show - I utiilize MP3 technology for the first time in this show at Busche Stadium, having just moved from California to Missouri.
JN Live! - Clinton Press Conference - Brian Ritz does a superb job as Slick Willy here. Understand that he took the script I wrote and went more in his own direction. :-)	JN Live! - Jordan Drake Hosts - Warning: This show is extremely irritating. It was hosted by Jordan Drake who has (or had) an unbelievable laugh!	JN Live! - Flash Commercial - A spoof I did on all those heroic animal movies throughout the years. Thanks to Brian Ritz for such moving narration.
