Noshing With “Sweet” Dick Whittington – April 7, 2022

Legendary Southern California air personality

This week, Ira spoke with “Sweet” Dick Whittington, legendary Southern California air personality. In this personal episode of Ira’s Everything Bagel, Dick talks about his broadcast career in Southern California, including his “spiritual home,” KGIL, where he was given room to be himself ; his early start in radio, going from market to market to refine his personality and style; the people who influenced him the most, including talk show host Joe Pyne; his earliest days as a fighter and a salesman selling pots and pans door-to-door; his self-destructive behavior; why he is a private person; how he developed the name, “Sweet Dick”;  his love of the creative process; and why he now likes himself.

“What sets bagels apart from other types of bread is the fact that they are boiled. Some imitations are steamed, but they do not have the same chewy and crunchy crust and are not true bagels.” – betweenroundsbagels.com
