I was voted the “class clown” in the 6th grade..  My 8th grade teacher said I’d should be a “comedian”..

I was expelled in the 11th grade because I felt the need to “moon” the high school principal..

I lied my way into a nuclear power plant job at 18.  Yes, me hanging around nuclear reactors (not a good combination).  It didn’t last long... they were on to me.

Then I decided it’s time to get serious with life, go back to college and get a respectable job.  Then lightning struck!  I stumbled across the college radio station.

Umm.. a job where I could be “a clown”, “a comedian”, I can “lie” daily and I could “moon” the audience and you’d never know it!   This is the perfect job for me.  Amazing…  so here I am on ALICE! 
 

Howie was born in Pittsburg Pennsylvania, and went to school for a short time in Ohio. He started out as cook at Bennigans, and went on to open a restaurant of his own. He won a radio contest (to be an intern) on the Ck and Rebekka morning show (KKMG 98.9) in Colorado Springs, Colorado in Feb. 1996. He gave up his restaurant, and went on to his new career in radio broadcasting.

After spending 6+ years at Magic 98.9, he went on to produce/host several local TV shows, and then took a job at (WVMX) in Cincinnati, Ohio... after just a year there, he met up with BJ Harris to make up the ALICE 1059 Morning show, and has been here at ALICE for the past 6 years. Howie loves his family... (wife) Wendy, daughters (Kay Leigh) 16 (Erin) 14 and (Madison) 9. He has 2 dogs Lily, and Ludwig. Howie does a cooking TV show (FOOD INK) and has a passion for PITTSBURG STEELERS football.

 

Hey it's Erica, your morning drive diva!  I'm so happy to be in sunny and beautiful Denver.  It's no secret that I'm a Chicago girl, and proud of it, but I consider getting to know the people of Denver every morning through this awesome gig at ALICE a true privilege.  Thank you for making me feel at home from day one and making my transition to Denver an easy one. 

Not long ago, had someone told me that I'd be spending my weekends in the mountains learning to snowboard, I would have thought they were crazy!  But here I am embracing all things Colorado has to offer the way that you have embraced me!!

Talk to ya in the morning...

 

Executive Producer for “The BJ, Howie & Erica Morning Show”, "Producer Mikey" is in the studio daily with BJ, Howie and Erica helping them make radio magic for all to enjoy! After 10 years of roaming the country working in every radio gig, Mikey landed in Denver at ALICE 105.9 in 2006 and has been here ever since. 
 

Mikey is a native of Michigan, and a 2003 graduate of The University of Colorado, Boulder. When not on the air, he is  an avid outdoor fanatic and loves skiing, snowboarding, hiking, and biking.  He collects buttons, puts stickers on everything, wears glasses, tells stupid jokes at every opportunity, is totally addicted to buying sneakers, enjoys a stiff drink at a dive bar, loves live music and plays a mean miniature harmonica (that’s 100%true).  All of which, are in his mind, amazing traits!
 

I moved to Denver nearly 5 years ago and finally found my ‘true’ home with Alice 105.9! I love it here! I adore music, fashion, the outdoors and wine.

You can often find me:
a) Watching live music of pretty much any kind… you’d be surprised the variety of my musical tastes!
b) Hanging out a dive bar with friends.
c) Playing in the mountains and exploring Colorado.
d) Watching local sporting events.

I’m always on the lookout for:
a) A good book to read (no romance novels, please.. ugh!)
b) A new red zinfandel to try.
c) New bands to check out (local and international)
d) The perfect pair of boots.
e) New friends!
f) Interesting places to explore.
 

Louder than Daughtry fans… Fancier than Lady GaGa… Wilder than an 18 year old virgin in Cancun on spring break… there’s Slacker… the man behind the laugh. Slacker is sadistically irreverent with an amazing ability to torture everyone but never get punched, thrown in jail, deported or fired – well except that one time. Slacker’s insanity is fueled by his hidden addiction to Home Depot. This dependence has been facilitated by -- his fancy new VW with it’s KIT-like auto-pilot locked only into the bright orange sign that fills Slacker with such joy.

And of course the men in overalls who keep sucking him back into their remodeling cult with offers of sprinklers, fixtures and paint…oh my. A Colorado native, Slacker joined the incestuous world of radio in 1998 after touring the globe with every 80’s hair band that you can think of… Slacker says, “It took me 8 years to realize that the 80’s were over… so if management thinks that simply firing me will get me to leave… (shrieking) They’ve got another thing comin’!!!”

Host of "Up All Night With Brody!"

After the past 8 years as the solo morning show in Breckenridge, I came down the hill to the ONLY station I wanted to be on - Alice 105.9!  What a great station with even better people!  Now I'm REALLY on in the morning, although most people still call it night...

I ski, bike, hike, climb, surf, see TONS of live music, play the drums, play the guitar (poorly, very poorly) and breakdance (even worse).  I live in Capitol Hill, am a sports freak, keep a disturbingly close eye on Hollywood gossip and I have never lost a game of Trivial Pursuit IN MY LIFE!  Call me up at the studio, I love to chat!  (303) 631-ALICE.  Make sure to check out my Facebook and Twitter pages too.

Lose some sleep and stay Up All Night With Brody!
 

My favorite thing to do, hands down, is travel. My other favorite thing to do is snack on all things Colorado.  I spent 4 years (ok 4 1/2) in Ft. Collins attending CSU, yesser I am a Ram. Buffalo burger and a Fat Tire... yummm! And even though I love to travel there is definately no place like Denver. Hey at least we don't live in Kansas.
 

Guys listen, too. “It’s like having the other side’s playbook” and “Kim’s hot, she’s fun, she’s like the girl in the sports bar who understands football.” Real comments from real guys who listen to her hear what their girlfriends and wives are saying. Kim now calls Austin, Texas home, and she loves the city known for being the Live Music Capitol of the World. “My roots are in Boise, Idaho,” Kim says. “My American dad and my Vietnamese mom actually married without being able to communicate with each other! Three years later, I was born and they divorced. My dad raised me by himself and bought me a lot of “boy” stuff. Boys have better toys anyway, so it was all for the best. It was from my dad that I learned some important life lessons.

Dad taught me that I could do anything I wanted. And I tried lots of things. I am a jazz drummer, a snowboarder, and a tri-athlete. I started studying music in college, but the whole marching band thing wasn’t me, so I changed gears and finished my 6-year Plan degree in Philosophy.”

All that time to think about thinking led Kim to try Radio and Television on both coasts. Kim says, “I loved living in New York City and being a TV reporter and host there. The vibe of the city runs through everything and everyone 24/7, and the people work hard and play hard. The food is unmatched anywhere in the world, and the shopping! Don’t get me started! But you can’t beat the mountains out west for snowboarding, or the sun on the west coast!”

Kim’s show rolls all of her experience “And men, lot’s of men” into a program about life, love, relationships and reality, with a meaningful blend of pop music, fashion and food. If you’re talking about it, your girlfriend Kim Iverson is, too.
