Jason Shaw's Bio
Your morning JOE with Jason Shaw

Mornings 5:30 AM-10 AM, Mon. - Fri.

I was born in the Pittsburgh Pa area.  I decided I wanted to be in radio at the age of 12. Later, I attended Broadcast Center in St.Louis MO, and began my radio career in the early 80's and have worked in such glamourous places as Indianola Iowa and Valentine Nebraska. I began afternoons on Saginaw's classic Rock Eagle 97.3 here at MacDonald Broadcasting in 2000. Since then I have done news for all 3 stations, mornings on WSAM and I'm am still a regular weekly contributor to KCQ's morning show, in addition to your Morning Joe. I also do freelance voice work and compose  music for documentaries, and can been heard on many commercials and voicemail systems around the country.

INSTALLMENT #67B    MY LIFE IS AN ENDLESS BLOOPER

i\'m going to write this out very quickly because the last time I tried to vlog I was kicked off line and I lost this really cool thing I wrote.

So then I sat there and steamed about it for a few minutes and decided I would try to remember what I said. Some of it came back to me, but for the most part I sat there muttering to myself about how I said it so much cooler the first time.  As I went on through my second try, the first try kept improving exponentially in my mind until I got to the end of the blog.  By that time I had become Mark Twain.  Anyway, that\'s why I\'m writing so quickly, I just hope you\'re not a slow reader.

I don\'t even remember what I was sitting down to blog about. I know, I can hear you saying, "well then it mustn\'t have been that important huh?"  I love it when people say that whenever I forget something.  Oh well, at least I wasted a few moments of your life, when you could have been doing something important ,like sitting down.  That\'ll teach you to read a jock\'s blog.\"\"

I must get in shape.

Jun 13, 2008 -- 12:45pm

Today was the first day that I decided to eat healthy. I weighed myself a couple days ago and I now tip the scale at 204. This is unacceptable.

I'm heavier now than I've ever weighed in my life. So this morning I decided to ingest nothing but heathly. So I had a can of Healthy Choice Completely Flavor Free Vegetable Soup for lunch and a pack of salmon. I got to the last miserable bite and I was still starving. My body seemed to be saying, "Who are you trying to fool with this crap?" Gnaw....Gnaw Gnaw....So then I dug into my back up plan- a can of green beans.  That was an hour ago and I could eat a piece of linoleum right now I'm so hungry. In fact...with a little cheese sauce....

So then at about 9:30 Satans' helper, Nick Bell walks into the studio holding an open box of Tim Horton's doughnuts.....saying.."they're still warm..." I actually turned them down.  I'm thinking 204 isn't so bad. This is going to be tough.

The Real Me

May 12, 2008 -- 10:48am

In addition to playing a whole lot of music in the morning is to talk about things that I hope you'll find useful and maybe a little entertaining.

Sometimes it's difficult to know what you want to hear about. This is because in the morning, It's mostly a one way conversation right? Unless you're yelling at your radio, "shut up and play Bon Jovi!!" Still, I'd like to know what you want to hear about. I'd like you to be involved in the process, because, you're after all why I get up in the morning and come in to be here. Now, I'm going to assume you want to hear about the roads and if there's an accident you should know about that will affect your drive to work, but aside from that sort of thing, what do you like?

Do you find it interesting when there's a new study that says chocolate increases your I.Q (don't I wish) Or maybe you want to hear more about community events going on that you can do with your family. Let me know!  Do you have an uncle who does a killer Bush impression? Your morning Joe wants to hear about it! It's your show, let me know what you want. Your input is welcome.

The Rite of Spring

May 05, 2008 -- 12:27pm

 

My lawn mower died. I dragged the mower out to do the lawn on the first nice day of the year (okay third or fourth...yard work ain\'t my thing alright?) and it just wouldn\'t start. Not a chug , puff, or sputter of false hope. It was dead.
 
Sometime between the first frost of aught seven and yesterday, my 10 year old Lawn Boy gave up the ghost. I didn\'t even get to call his immediate family. My green friend left this world alone. I called my favorite lawn mower repair place and the doctor told me it would be three weeks before I would have it back.
 
My lawn already looked like a St.Bernard\'s backside and I couldn\'t wait three weeks. I decided to buy a new one. I went to a place that sells everything you can think of, mostly stuff you haven\'t, and in between the cheese, lumber and motor oil, there it was- the official lawnmower of Nascar. I\'d never heard of the brand, but by golly if Nascar said it was aces, it had to be pretty good!
 
I got it home cut the grass and all was well. As the sun faded for the day I went on line and looked up the "Official Lawnmower of Nascar". I found out that NASCAR actually endorses about 20 lawnmowers. Apparently NASCAR members really love their lawns. Oh well, I still feel like Dale Earnhardt jr. when I\'m heading into the home stretch.
