Music
potpourri
Josh Venable,
the well-known voice of today's Adventure Club, was an intern
at the Edge back in the day when Alex Luke first started spinning
the Brit-pop sounds on the Sunday night program. Venable talks about
the show's migration from an exploration of new music heavily focused
on Brit-pop to the potpourri of new music that it is today.

"When I
started interning for Alex, he was interested in me because I listened
to all the Brit-pop bands, and when he told me he was going to move
to St. Louis, he asked if I wanted to take over the show. I couldn't
believe it. I was only 19 at the time, had been interning (getting
coffee, etc.) for two years but had never actually done any real
radio and didn't know the first thing about how to run the control
boards or anything.
"I told
them that I would love to do the show but was too scared to do it
on my own. And when they asked who I would want to work with, I
said Keven because he was my total opposite in every way and I thought
it would be fun to have our divergent personalities and tastes in
music meshed on the show."
One week
after Alex Luke did his last show, the Adventure Club with Josh
and Keven aired
May 22, 1994. The battling duo was an instant hit. Venable remembers
those first three hours of airtime as "possibly the worst three
hours of radio in history but also possibly the most brilliant,
because we were playing Suede back-to-back with the Magnetic Fields,
and we were fighting about who was better and why, and the audience
loved it."
