E259 Alan Koenig of ASK4 Entertainment on Shiprocked Origins, Poster Fonts, and Building the Best Festival Lineup

This week, we're scratching The Itch to talk with the Captain! Alan Koenig, founder of ASK4 Entertainment and its flagship event Shiprocked (see what we did there?) joins us to discuss the past, present, and future of The Itch's favorite festival at sea. Join us for some fascinating insight into how the festival was born out of a working relationship with Vince Neil, the excitements and challenges of booking a lineup, and how Alan avoids issues with font size on festival posters. Plus, a sneak peak into the Carnival Horizon, the cruise's new boat for 2026, and The Itch makes a pitch. Enjoy. If you like what you hear, you can hear more of us every Sunday night broadcasting rock to the masses from 6-9pm CST on KCLC-FM. If you're not in the St. Louis area, you can stream the show from 891thewood.com, TuneIn, Radio.net, and OnlineRadioBox! And if you have the itch to hear some of the best new tracks in rock, follow our New Rock Roundup playlist!
