Genesee County Parks produces The Huckleberry Radio Hour. 

“The Huckleberry Radio Hour” is a throwback to those old radio days with a lot of today. Each show features Michigan’s Troubadour, Neil Woodward, a man who has entertained thousands over the years with his fiddle and stories. The host and producer of the “Huckleberry Radio Hour” is well known, local broadcaster Michael J. Thorp along with The Flint Jubilee Chorale, Gary Weisenberg, and The Huckleberry Players.

The “Huckleberry Radio Hour” will have a special guest artist on each show.

These live radio events will air once a month throughout the summer, Every “Huckleberry Radio Hour” will begin at 7PM and will be heard worldwide on the internet.

The music, the commercials, even the sound effects will all be performed live as part of the production. Veteran local actor and director Jon Coggins joins the cast as the Foley Artist. That means he will create, live, all of the sound effects used on the show.

Since the “Huckleberry Radio Hour is a “Live” radio show, the studio audience will play an important role. As Michael J. Thorp says, “The audience is an essential part of the show”. “Without their response, it’s not “Live” radio.”
