Jason:
Just wanted to let you know – announced on air today on the Gee & Ursula show, with Spike O’Neill in for Gee Scott – Seattle radio veteran Spike O’Neill (formerly with the Bob Rivers Show) will be the new, full time host of KIRO Nights from 7 to 10 PM replacing the outgoing Jack Stine (background: Jack chose to leave, he wasn’t canceled.)
Spike’s first show is Monday, August 1st.

Where did Jack go? I used to listen almost every night and now I don’t at all. I miss Jack!

Agreed for both John Curley and Dori Monson.
Jason Remington • August 19, 2022
I don’t hear too many saying they miss John Tangney, Tom Curley gets most of the credit. I think Tangney was annoying, but that is just because I disagreed with almost everything he said. I haven’t listened to Curley on a regular basis so am out of the loop on these references to a messy divorce or whatever. Divorce is seldom a happy circumstance.

I think you guys have the names mixed up lol. It’s John Curley and Tom Tangney. Why is Stine out at Kiro Nights?!
Jason Remington • August 25, 2022
Yeah we were just playing off a previous comment, having silly fun in our old age.

Curley is the ultimate prima donna…but he can be witty and informative…He clearly has decided to live off-grid for awhile,likely due to his latest round of personal domestic issues…”TomCurley”??…lol.
Joshua • August 17, 2022
So G and U I listen too but only cause I’m loyal to kiro. Dori is a gangster. Love him just like my grandfather did.
TOM CURLEY IS A LEGEND AND HE WILL STICK AROUND CAUSE HES BEEN WEALTHY FOR YEARS. (In reference to comment above). Tom lives in a run down shack in the middle of bum fu** Wa state cause he could care less about his money. Jack I will miss u- solid thinking dude. Kiro is loosing all stars 🙁

God bless where ever you may be….

I loved Spike from the Bob rivers show. Listened to them every single day for years. Was thrilled when I first heard his voice again on kiro. I wasn’t a fan of Jacks. my favorite talk show was Tom & Curley. Not as good with Sheri but I still listen. Would turn it off if Jack was in for Curley . Couldn’t stand to listen. I’m happy that spike is back on the air. I might tune in to check out his show but I don’t often listen in the evening. Would be nice if he had a cohost with an opposite point of view (like Tom & curley).

Seriously miss Tom. Level headed people for the win. I don’t always agree with John but… He’s pretty funny, and Sherri has a good personality. Spike also sounds like a good person. Jack was at times a bit too smug in his opinions, but not bad. Dori, I agree with at times, but I turn his show off the most, he is the most smuggly opinionated person lol. I’ve had to send a few texts to kiro for him.

Podcasting is huge now and Stine is trying to get into Joe Rogan territory. Debating Tim Pool’s theories (Pool has been a guest on Rogan’s podcast) in the latest podcast. Looks like good stuff I will follow and see where he goes with it.
Jack D. Bell • August 13, 2022
Apparently Stine has been doing his Youtube stuff for over a year…I do not recall his ever mentioning it on his KIRO program…Interesting that he would be doing his Youtube channel stuff, even while working for KIRO.
Jason Remington • August 13, 2022
He obviously had plans to grow into a podcast and now has more time to devote to it. Plan B. In this case, a podcast might be a better way to go if he can monetize it.

I’ve only lived in this area for 10 years and the night show has changed formats at least four times. Jack Stein was annoying at times and mentioned being a former drug addict way too many times, but he was entertaining. But when he filled in for Dori, Curley, and then did his own show, regularly, I could see him getting burned out. Good luck to the new host. I hope he lasts.
Gary Nelson • August 8, 2022
Talk radio itself is aging out. John Curley will be gone soon enough too bc he has a dull co-host. Zero rapport. George Noory can’t keep pretending that he’s interested in the paid info ads posing as relevant guests.
Maybe we’ll have to find real friends now.
James • August 10, 2022
Totally agree with you about the John Curley show. It used to be my favorite when Tom Tagney was on because of the banter between the liberal Tagney and conservative Curley. Once Shari Eilker joined , I stopped listening because Eilker is a nodding “yes man” to Curley’s one-sided conservative ramblings.
Jack D. Bell • August 11, 2022
Ex-host Stine occasionally would have Shari on his show for a segment or two…I also really enjoyed his interplay with Stacy Jo Ross, who is now co-hosting a sports show…Stine seemed to really hit it off with his guests, and always provided plenty of humor to go along with the banter. I am still upset that Jack Stine felt he had to leave…I am sure he must have been bumping heads with his PD…He would occasionally even comment on that situation!…I miss his forthrightness, even though I frequently disagreed with his points of view….I too enjoyed Tom and Curley…John can be humorous, but he seems to be losing his overall geniality, and is becoming the old guy who says–GET OFF MY LAWN!…But I do respect his on-air vocal talents…especially his ability to mimic well-known people…in that regard, he is unique.
Jack D. Bell • August 13, 2022
FYI–I found Jack Stine!…He has recently started up a Youtube account…named “Human Genius”…He is his usual, interesting-caustic self…but it seems he is struggling to find anyone to actually appear on his channel!…a few people have asked him why he left KIRO–he just says “I quit!…come on to my show as a guest, and we will talk about it.”…I just might take him up on that offer…I have no idea as to where he is actually located.
JRemington • August 13, 2022
I will check out his Youtube channel. Thanks for digging that up!
