Kenny Kidd
(Road Ragin', All Suggest
​Saturday Night & Uncontrolled Burn)
Picture


Kenny Kidd's love for music started at an early age, sneaking into his sister's room to listen to her Zeppelin albums, when she wasn't home. The power of the guitars & drums mixed with Robert Plant's soulful vocals pounding through his headphones took him to another world, from which he never returned. In this World of Absolute Awesomeness, his musical taste was quickly defined as "If it doesnt rock, it's garbage".

As Kidd grew older his love of Rock N' Roll grew too. So much so in 2004 it drove him to take classes at The Ohio Center for Broadcasting, where he was presented with The Nev Chandler Award for Excellence in Broadcasting. He got his start in Akron radio giving news updates & running remote broadcasts. A few years later he moved on to Sandusky to host his own afternoon show where he was named the Best "On-Air" D.J. by his listeners for the local paper. He later joined Sports Talk 92.3 The Fan  & 98.5 WNCX in Cleveland, where he pioneered a revolution in "Classic Rock", paving the way for Generation X to have their voices heard. Apparently Corporate Radio did not like listeners voicing their opinions & straying from preprogrammed national playlists and released Kidd of his duties in June of 2021. This only fueled Kidd to launch his own station and give the people the much needed Rock N' Roll variety they deserved.

Red From The Snowbelt
​(Elbows 'N' Steeltoes)

Music for me started with my folks, older cousins and friend's older siblings. We lived and died for WMMS (We Make Muzzy's Smile) Things changed with the station and I wanted heavier music, so I found college radio. Sabbath to Metallica to Slayer to Sepultura and so on, I was looking for heavier and harder. I DJ'd at a couple college radio stations and was also vocals in a couple of local bands. I was born in the snowbelt, and I'll be buried in the belt. Enough about me time to Slam!! Thanks for listening...Kidtastrophy Radio Killing It!!

​J.T. Maynard
​(The Broootal Hour)
Picture
I was born in the Slavic Village neighborhood of the east side of Cleveland. Moved to the west side when I turned 6. My father was a highly decorated Army airborne ranger who did 4 tours in Vietnam & my mom worked at the old Quad building at the Metro Hospital campus. Music was always on in my home as a child. Mostly blues, southern rock and comedy albums on my Dad's vinyl shelf & my mom was into bands like Janis Joplin, Bob Seeger & Meat Loaf. My Dad made me a walk-in closet set up with all his old radio, 8 track & record/cassette players & stuff. It really was so I could crank it loud without bothering him in our small duplex!! Fast forward after graduating Brooklyn High School in 95' I headed to Florida for to find band members who shared my unique musical interests, like what I am playing on The Broootal Hour. I did find some of them & had great success in Florida! I got to do some mini tours and when that ended I came back to Cleveland & got a band a small deal with Filthy Hands/SK1 label. After that amazing experience, I kept my soul & I left that band because of the controlling nature of the members & moved back to Florida & I never stopped cranking the Dark Lord on Saturday nights the whole time! So thank you for tuning in & I hope you love this BROOOTAL HOUR of SICK BEAUTY!

 Before I met Kenny, I definitely had a wide variety of musical interests.  I grew up listening to the latest pop hits that were
playing on the radio (over and over and over... again and again). I'm sure anyone can guess the songs I was singing and dancing along to in the 80's and 90's. I broadened my horizons in high school with being introduced to grunge and punk rock.  I loved experiencing my first concert (I touched Lenny Kravitz' shoulder!) and going to Warped Tours.

Meeting my friend Sue really opened the music box even more, especially with hard rock and heavy metal.  A professional career
woman who rocked at concerts on a weekly basis?  Sue was my idol!  I borrowed many Megadeth, Faith No More, Suicidal Tendencies, and Alice Cooper CD's.

When I met Kenny, he not only exposed me to many other bands, musicians, and styles, but he opened up my soul to the art of music-
the story, the message, the feeling, the imagination, the connection. I owe most of my music knowledge to my husband, the one and only, Mr. Kenny Kidd.

The creation of Kidtastrophy Radio gives a chance for listeners beyond Cleveland, Ohio to experience what amazing music and
personality he brings each and every time, with also giving us a chance for our voices to be heard. I love all you metal heads,
headbangers, and hard rockers out there who listen. I'm happy to give you an hour each week of songs I love Rockin' out to.
