Hi All!  I’m John Young; I’ve been hosting The KUIC Home Town Morning Show since November, 1999…what an amazing trip it’s been. I like to infuse the show with impressions, audience interaction and a healthy dose of “theater of the mind.”  I also host the pre-recorded “Helping Your Hometown” weekly segment featuring local non-profit agencies explaining their services to KUIC listeners.  This is weird: I’m also a licensed therapist (BBS # 19220)…not so weird is the fact that I’m a married father of three and a bicycle enthusiast who still finds time to play guitar and drums in local bands.  I’d like to think I have a longstanding positive relationship with our audience, and listeners are featured frequently on the show.  I get the opportunity to host a ton of community events, which I love doing.  In addition to working in radio and the local music scene, I’m a member of the Food Bank of Contra Costa and Solano’s “Celebrity Council”, a member of The Board of Directors at Opportunity House Homeless Shelter in Vacaville, and an Adjunct Professor in The Master’s in Social Work at Brandman University. To add to my plate, in 2021 I began co-hosting the “Planet LP Podcast” with music journalist Ted Asregadoo (www.planetlp.com). My wife Meg and I live in Roseville on our property we affectionately call “Phony Pharms,” where we grown some of our own food and play with our Corgi dog Sonu and our cat Nigel 🙂
