Deane Gonzalez is proof that no place holds a monopoly on cool. We can claim New York, LA, or London, but the town that produced Deane is Fresno, awesome Fresno! The coolest thing about Deane is that he is also the most polite, caring, and engaging individual with no hesitations when it comes to helping out. Meet him for yourself!

If actions speak louder than words, then Karene Daniel is downright deafening! She is a gal of few words, but why waste time on those when you’re busy rolling up your sleeves and getting down to the nitty-gritty of awesomeness?  From the day she set foot in the basement, Karene was not shy about jumping in to save the day – and save it …

Volunteering in the news department can be a bit of a rollercoaster. There are afternoons when multiple stories are breaking at once, and that means phone calls to make, audio to edit, and scripts to write – and the clock is ticking. Then again, there are sloooow news days when you really need to scavenge for stories worth telling. Amor manages to handle all …

Meet Bob Werne.  Going on his 20th year here at KCRW, he has the music knowledge and a vinyl collection to rival the grand Tom Schnabel himself.  He is our living history.  He can remember when Morning Becomes Eclectic began. He was there.  Bob is also a man of few words, so let’s help him out…
HE ROCKS!

KCRW has no bad volunteers.  All of them are smart, dedicated, passionate people.  That’s why it’s a little tough to single one out every month, but then there are people like Samantha (just Sam to us).  She just effortlessly stands out.  With her hard work and sunny disposition to boot, how could we not notice her?  Get to know her!

Lucy Bruttomesso came by way of her daughter, the original volunteer.  Basically when her daughter went away to school, mom Lucy stepped in to help out. I mean, this is how wonderful Lucy and her family are.  Doesn’t this just say it all?  If all volunteers came with a back-up volunteer, organizations across the land would never be short-handed and we’d be a much …

Zach is a delight to have around.  His ability to completely and competently complete a task makes him an ideal intern, while his goofball attitude and ability to make us all laugh makes him an ideal coworker.

Joe Jagenow is a guy you want on your team.  He can take any project with an attitude that is the perfect blend of focus and positivity.  Beyond his work habits, turns out he’s just a total delight to be around.  We are lucky that this talented guy is gracing our halls every week!

Calling Meaghan “Minnesota nice” would be a bold understatement.  Her sweet voice and kind demeanor has a way of disarming everyone she talks to.  Under her disarming sweetness is a sharp sense of humor.  She wins us over with her kindness, and bowls us over with her wit.  I dare you to not have your heart completely melted by hearing her exclaim “Oh, shucks!” with complete …

Harold Cane’s crowning has been a long time coming.  He’s been awesome since day one, but then this blog didn’t exist yet.  The guy has helped at countless events, both as brains and raw brawn.  All the while, he has rarely missed a beat with Raul Campos.  This man is no flake, my friends!
