Episode 16: Behind the Mic with Quinn Alexander

In this episode of Behind the Mic with MAB, Amanda Fontaine sits down with Quinn Alexander, host of the Hometown Country Morning Show on 970KK. Born in Oceanside, California, Quinn once dreamed of Hollywood fame as an actor or screenwriter. At 23, he discovered radio, and by 25, landed his first gig in Kansas. Since then, he has chased his radio dream across the country with stops in Maine, Texas, Indiana, Virginia, and now Mississippi. Beyond the airwaves, Quinn has built a social media following of more than 300,000 across Facebook and TikTok. Yet, he may be most famously known as “Franky’s human”—the devoted owner of his corgi, Franky with a Y, who runs his life. Together, Amanda and Quinn dive into big questions facing the industry and beyond: How country music is embracing other genres and why so many non-country artists are “going country.” The role of social media in supporting and reshaping radio. And the question on everyone’s mind: is radio dying? This is a candid, fun, and insightful conversation you don’t want to miss. #BehindTheMic #MABPodcast #QuinnAlexander #CountryRadio #RadioLife #PodcastInterview #HometownCountry #MississippiRadio #SocialMediaAndRadio #FrankyWithAY   This episode is produced by Daniel Anderson at Audio Alchemy Productions.
