Van has hosted the popular Saturday afternoon show on KSER for a decade and has decided he needs a break. Like all the KSER DJ's, Van is a station volunteer - and like many of our volunteers he also happens to have a full-time job when he's not busy getting his show ready and doing Pull the String.
In addition, Van happens to be the keyboard guy and a vocalist in the popular local band the Wild Snohomians. So between the real job and all those late night weekend band performances, Van has decided to take a break. (We're not upset or anything...he has every right to pull the heart out of the KSER Saturday lineup.)

We're hopeful that Van will come to his senses in the future and return to his sweet radio gig, but in the meantime make sure you catch the final Pull the String this Saturday starting at 3 p.m. on 90.7 FM or online at KSER.org - it's sure to be epic!
You will be missed Van. Thank you for all the hard work, good music, and great times. Public radio needs heroes like you and I hope you can point a few of them towards the station; it would be no fewer than a few to fill your shoes ;)
ReplyDeleteAw, rats. I just discovered KSER about a year ago and love the Saturday shows and never miss Pull the String. Guess I better savor this last show. Thanks,Van.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the love, Tom! And thanks to all the listeners over the years, it's been a ball. My fondest hope is that some eager new KSER volunteer will fill in that slot with a brand new show that'll have everyone saying "Van who?...Pull the what...?" before you can say Jack Robinson.
ReplyDeleteI really feel the need to step away but if I get through the last one without blubbering it'll be a miracle. It's been a privilege.
Van, Love your show. Will miss hearing you on Saturdays. All the best!
