Greg Sowell and this is Why Am I, a podcast where I talk to interesting people and try to trace a path to where they find themselves today. \u00a0My guest this go around is Randy West. \u00a0He\u2019s been a disk jockey, done musicals, infomercials, regular commercials, announced TV shows and games shows including The Price Is Right, and is also an accomplished author. \u00a0More than that he\u2019s also a huge TV historian dedicating a lot of time to preserving pieces of our cultural history and a big chunk of nostalgia for me. \u00a0Randy is also extremely kind and giving of his time and knowledge. \u00a0I hope you enjoy this conversation with Randy.<\/div>\n<div data-offset-key=\"5ljb8-0-0\"><\/div>\n<div data-offset-key=\"5ljb8-0-0\"><a
