CoolStreams on-air/online Producer Profiles

 
Program:  FM Odyssey
Genres:  Classic & Progressive Rock  /  Folk / Folk Rock

Fred Migliore is the Executive Producer and Creator of FM Odyssey, now on over 100 US Pulic Radio Stations.  On November 30, 1998, FM Odyssey began it’s journey into weekly national syndication. FM Odyssey has already astonished public radio audiences across the country with five excellent specials:

1) "The Laura Nyro Tribute", music and interview segments surrounding the late artist’s life work;

2) "Home for Thanksgiving", a unique fall program with segments from Dan  Fogelberg, Susan Graham White, and Arlo Guthrie;

3) "David Crosby...Leaving a Wake", an intimate interview where David shares his incredible story of recovery and rebirth;

4) "Judy Collins...Forever In A Day", a tribute to the life and music of Judy Collins;

5) "Renaissance and Beyond with Annie Haslem", tracing the evolution of Renaissance orchestral rock as well as Annie’s latest creations.

"After attaining a carriage list of over 90 stations, we decided it was time to unveil our masterpiece and produce our weekly program for audiences everywhere," said Fred Migliore, Executive Producer. Migliore has produced the weekly show "Another Unconventional Sunday Morning" (AUSM) on WFIT in Melbourne, Florida for nine years. "The concept of our nationally syndicated programs will be two-fold; a two hour weekly show, plus occasional specials presented in a similar vein as our previous national broadcasts." The weekly show will duplicate the success of AUSM which has developed an incredible following since 1991. AUSM has also broken fund drives consistently, on several occasions collecting over 40% of the total drive in just a three hour time frame!

FM Odyssey’s weekly is vibrant, and intelligent offering music with both a heart and a soul. A typical playlist may include legends such as Renaissance, Circus Maximus, or Brian Auger as well as Leonard Cohen, Bruce Cockburn, or Kate Wolf. It will also grab your attention with newly emerging artists such as Mark Erelli, Tony Joe White, The Dharma Bums and Jonell Mosser. This blend has proven to be extremely effective in both creating and maintaining a fiercely loyal audience by tapping into hidden musical memories, yet challenging them with fresh, new artistry.

FM ODYSSEY is a rare program to public radio today, consistently challenging while changing. Fred Migliore’s choice of music and arrangement of songs keeps even the most alien of listeners enthralled and entertained."
~ Michael Stokes Davis, Program Director - WUSM, Hattiesburg, Mississippi

------------------------------------------------------------------

" From a programmer’s standpoint, I find FM ODYSSEY to be one of the few PRSS satellite programs which appeals to our AAA audience without fail - every episode. As for content, Fred Migliore mixes incredible music from artists both known and obscure, and has a conversational tone which our listeners appreciate. Our listeners tell us they feel comfortable with his no-hype presentation and his knack for picking out both listenable and interesting music.

Fred is obviously a radio professional with a graceful and relaxing style gained through years of on-air experience. For stations who are looking for a positive change in their music lineup, FM ODYSSEY provides a unique opportunity to increase listenership without losing fans loyal to another show.
~Jim Kloss, Program Director - KTNA, Talkeetna, Alaska

------------------------------------------------------------------

"Fred Migliore brings a wealth of knowledge and enthusiasm to FM ODYSSEY. He makes the listener feel right at home. It’s like having the aritists sitting in your living room."
~ Todd Kennedy, Program Director- WFIT, Melbourne, Florida

------------------------------------------------------------------

" David Crosby....Leaving a Wake" is another great program in the FM ODYSSEY tradition. Fred Migliore’s interview and music choices on the Laura Nyro Special made it one of the most popular shows KSUT has ever aired. " Leaving a Wake" is first-rate storytelling...unlike so many stories these days, it has a happy ending! And it’s not over- Crosby lives!
~Steve Rauworth, Program Director - KSUT Public Radio - Ignacio, CO

------------------------------------------------------------------

"The Laura Nyro Tribute worked great for us. We got tremendous listener feedback, all positive. Most wanted to know when we would air it again. I never knew that Ms. Nyro had such a loyal and very vocal following. They were strong lobbyists for us to air the show, and they were very appreciative that we did it. Most commented on the "Live" recordings and the interview with Laura as highlights."
~ Brian Quinn, Program Director, WUMB - Boston, Worcester & Falmouth, MA

------------------------------------------------------------------

"Compelling Radio. The Judy Collins interview and in studio performances were superb radio. I did not want it to end. His interview with David Crosby was powerful and touching."
~Bill Beckett, Program Director, WUFT- Gainesville, Fl.

------------------------------------------------------------------

"David Crosby- "Leaving A Wake" aired on our Radio Station November 26,1998 Thanksgiving Evening. We had a great response from listeners all over the Rio Grande Valley who were inspired by David Crosby’s story of life and hope. I was so enthralled with the interview myself, that I forgot about my turkey cooking and burned it in the midst of listening to this interview. "Leaving A Wake " will be airing in the near future for listeners who missed it the first time." 
~Chris Maley,Program Director, KMBH-FM, Harlingen, TX.

------------------------------------------------------------------

"We received very positive feedback after we aired the FM Odyssey Specials on Judy Collins And David Crosby. Our listeners appreciated not only the music but also the insight into the artists as people. Great programs to target our core audience.

We have since added the weekly FM Odyssey program to our schedule as the other weekend day compliment to the mellow weekend version of World Cafe. It works great, and sounds right."
~ Charles Beck, Program Director -Maine Public Radio, Bangor, ME

------------------------------------------------------------------

"The Judy Collins Program was put together in a very pleasing format to honor such a deserving artist. The interview is quite intimate and brings the listener into the conversation through a very relaxed atmosphere. The program also maintains a perfect balance between the interview and the music. The stories she has to tell come through in a fashion that does not get bogged down in yesterday. A fine tribute to a fine lady that will fit into a program schedule beautifully within a music block or transition out of a news or talk block. I would highly suggest all three hours of the program. If that proves difficult in a program schedule- break it into three, but don’t leave anything out because your listeners deserve to hear the whole show.
~ Tom Abbott, General Manager/Program Director - KFSK-FM, Petersburg, AK

"Fred Migliore and FM Odyssey have provided a forum for the music of Laura Nyro which has never been done before. The beautifully prepared broadcast to 51 markets helped to raise awareness of the legacy, life and music of Laura Nyro. Countless new fans were cultivated for Laura's music. This would not have been possible without these broadcasts. As the label that released the tribute to Laura, 'Time and Love: The Music of Laura Nyro', I am deeply indebted to Fred and FM Odyssey for their efforts and impact."
~Marshall Lamb, Astor Place Recordings
