Jim Krenn: Radio Personality and Comedian
If you grew up in Pittsburgh and have ears, you’ve heard the voice and impressions of legendary radio personality and comedian, Jimmy Krenn. He ruled morning radio for 24 years, and caused a stir when was abruptly fired from the DVE Morning Show. In this Meister Piece exclusive, Jimmy opens up about that controversy and tells us what happened from his point of view. He also shares how he got his start in the business and how he began doing impersonations at a young age. You can hear his hilarious podcast at jimkrenn.com and he’s back on the airwaves every week on KDKA Fridays between 8-9am with hosts Larry Richert and John Shumway.  He is one of the nicest guys in the city, and I’m proud to call him my friend. I hope you enjoy the interview–he’s so much more than just a pretty voice.
