Reaching out to Christopher Calandro.

Yo Calandroid:

Enjoyed the post on your My Space blog. Good to know that you stay plugged in.

And yes, it's high time we finally meet. I always enjoyed your on-air work, most notably "Homeless Restaurant Review," and "Calandro Gump," and I loved the segments where you got really pissed off. I became even more of a fan when I used to work at the research firm that did the perceptuals and focus groups for the station and the ill-fated "Don Miller Morning Show." I know LOTS about you, man. And all by demographic breakdown.

So what if Fat Kid tested higher than you? That's because he operated under the nom de aire, "Fat Kid." If 99X had let you stick with "RadioBoy," you would've tested through the roof, too! Duh.

As it turns out, we have many mutual acquiantances, but only one I trust. I have it on good authority you recently interviewed for a JCW gig with a medium-size agency on the NE side. If you don't know which one I'm referring to, it's the one where you sent flowers to one of the AE's you flirted with afterwards. Man, do you have a set of cojones on you! If you ever saw the size of her boyfriend, you'd know what I mean.

In any event, contact her (yeah, she thought you were charming), and she'll provide you with my real name and points of contact.

Then I'll take you out to lunch on my expense account, and we can dish about how you're gonna ride JB's coattails outta this town (if you don't land the gig at the Fortune 500 company I heard you're being considered for), what the latest is with Southside Steve (I know you guys still talk, too), and we can speculate whether that toolshed Marty actually works in radio, and if so, if he actually makes more than you did. AFTER the Fat Kid-induced salary cut. Somehow I doubt it.

And for extra fun? We can post the location of our first meeting to debunk the knuckleheads who post on here, because you know the stalkers and sycophants will show up. It'll be just like Watch Wachs Eat.

Except different.

As you like to say...

Best wishes, warm feelings,
Sammy Croatia

Was anybody else a little uncomfortable reading this? This seemed a little too personal for a public board.

I agree.
 
Weren't there about 15+ replies to this topic yesterday?
 
OK, I am not trying to stir up trouble here...but who is Christopher Calandro? Does he now or has he ever worked in radio in Atlanta? I've been here almost 18 years and, other than on this board, I've never heard of the guy. Why the obsession with him? Why is he so disliked? Did he date everyone's sister on here or something? Just curious....

Former morning producer at WNNX, dating way back to when Barnes was there. I think he either replaced Rich or the other producer that escapes my mind when Rich was there (that guy was never on the air much which is why I can't remember his name) to just over a year ago. He had a good radio voice, but had a way overwhelming vocabulary and liked to show it off way too much. It's like he didn't do else when he was off the air but read a dictionary.
 
Ahh, OK, thanks for the info. I work nights so I rarely hear *any* morning show. And...no offense to anyone at 99X or fans of 99X, I'm sure they do a nice job, but that station just isn't my "cup of tea." My radio has spent very little time at 99.7 since they changed it from "Power 99." One of those stations I almost forget exists except when the scan happens to land on it. The few times I am up during the morning hours, I usually listen to "Atlanta's Morning News" on WSB and/or "The Bert Show" on Q-100.

He was the morning show punching bag/part-time stunt boy. Outside of his elevated self-pride, he is actually a decent jock. His regular "non-weekday morning" shifts were pretty good. He wasn't overusing his vocab. or anything. Just "good" DJ breaks.

Is it wrong for one man to post a calling all cars for another man? I think not.

I like to think of him as Atlanta radio's "Timothy Treadwell".
