The Fish Fry, KCUR's blues, jazz, soul, R &B and zydeco program which airs every Friday and Saturday night, turns 30 this year. We talk with host Chuck Haddix about how he got his start and what it takes to party, public radio style, week in and week out.

KCUR is celebrating 30 years of the Fish Fry with an anniversary show at Knuckleheads Saloon at 7 p.m. on Thursday, March 24, featuring Katy Guillen & The Girls and The Danielle Nicole Band. Click here for tickets and information.

I try to ask the questions that listeners want answered about the day’s most pressing issues and provide a place for residents to engage directly with newsmakers.
