    Download here or click below to play, (or watch the video at the bottom of the page!) Bill Mumy is a dear old friend of mine, though since I left Los Angeles 20 years ago, we've not seen much of each other lately. But he is truly one of my favorite people. So when I saw he had finally written his memoirs, I was excited to read it and to bring him back on the show to reminisce... Today is also my birthday, and I'm thrilled to spend it with him, not talking politics, at least for [...]

Throwback Thursday – 30 Years Ago Today We Went to Saudi Arabia to do a Radio Show

Thirty years ago today, I was the producer of biggest morning radio show in Los Angeles - The Mark & Brian Show at KLOS.

Here's the diary I kept of that trip. Monday, Dec 17, 1990 12:50 PM (Los Angeles time) We are on MGM Grand Air — flying over South Dakota. Mark & Brian and I are flying to Saudi Arabia to broadcast back to the [...]

Kevin Gilbert

Marc Bonilla, Nicole Sandler, Kevin Gilbert KLOS Mark & Brian Christmas Show 1990 I'll never forget how I got the news that Kevin Gilbert had died. It was May 18, 1996. I had been out late that night, and returned home to an answering machine flashing with messages. One was from Doug Buttleman, Kevin Gilbert's and Toy Matinee's manager; another from Mark Bonilla, Toy Matinee's brilliant guitarist. We'd all become good friends through the Mark & Brian Show. Both messages were of an urgent nature, asking me to call whenever I got in. I somehow already knew what [...]

12-22-16 Nicole Sandler Show – RIP BC (and FU D’ump too)

                    (L-R) Graham Nash, Nicole Sandler, Bob Coburn I hadn't planned on today's show going as it did. My guest fell through at the last minute, so I was just going to take calls. But as we're at holiday time, people are already going away, shopping and generally not as plugged in to radio as they might be at other times of the year, so I didn't want to rely on only calls. Just before showtime, my friend and respected journalist Gaius Publius sent an email blast with his latest [...]

2-12-15 Nicole Sandler Show – Throwback Thursday: War & Smut Edition

Nicole Sandler with soldier Sidney Pittman in Dharhan, Saudi Arabia - Dec. 18, 1990 Yes, I really did go to Saudi Arabia. I was on the ground in Dharhan for just about four hours on Dec. 18, 1990, as producer of the Mark & Brian Show.  It was a month before the official start of "Operation Desert Storm". Last night, while going through some boxes in search of another blast from my past (more about that in a bit), I came across my typewritten journal of that trip. I'll be posting the text and more pictures separately as [...]
