Here are a few recent interviews from my WHAS Radio afternoon show. I never tire of learning incredible personal stories, floating into current events, and promoting tales of personal service. 2-time Oscar winner Hillary Swank plays #Louisville hairdresser Sharon Stevens Evans in @OrdinaryAngels, a true story about helping a family in crisis. 🧵Here's my radio chat with Sharon last month on @840WHAS 🗣 https://t.co/5ZwY398V3f #organdonation @wave3news @TODAYshow https://t.co/uqeGbh4opN pic.twitter.com/LSwqaQnP9x— Terry Meiners ™️ (@terrymeiners) February 19, 2024 Joyful @wave3news meteorologist @TawanaAndrew on incredible #BlackHistoryMonth + fitness boxing🥊 loud hubby gaming 🗣️love of weather forecasting ⛈️☔️@840WHAS audio 📣 https://t.co/8OrmgvcGHp#media #history #loumedia pic.twitter.com/Ypgm5iKms1— Terry Meiners ™️ (@terrymeiners) February 19, 2024 UK radio voice, national champion, and former NBA player @goosegivens has lived at the

Leader Mitch McConnell blasts rival Florida Senator Scott on WHAS Radio 👁️
When Senate Republican Leader Mitch McConnell joins me on WHAS Radio, people tend to notice. Millions of online impressions followed McConnell's 9 minute phone chat two days after President Joe Biden's State of the Union speech. After discussing the Chinese spy balloon incursion, we jumped into U.S. involvement in the Ukraine/Russia war. And then...the real war started. McConnell BURNS Rick Scott: ✅confirms “that was the Scott plan” to sunset SocSecurity & Medicare 🔥“I think it will be a challenge for him to deal with this in his own re-election in FL: a state with more elderly people than any other state in America” On @terrymeiners @840WHAS: pic.twitter.com/yAIhVLb6LY — Joel Lawson (@JoelLawsonDC) February 10, 2023 McConnell blasted Florida Senator Rick Scott on WHAS after I asked him about Biden's
A sit down with Republican Senate Leader Mitch McConnell
I always enjoy a face-to-face chat with political leaders and other newsmakers. There is a comfort level in sitting across the table from an interview subject. Watching their body language, eye contact, and hand gestures adds extra dimensions that a telephone chat cannot provide. LISTEN TO TERRY MEINERS AND MITCH McCONNELL Mitch McConnell is the longest serving U.S. Senate leader and longest serving U.S. senator in Kentucky history. We've done a ton of phone interviews during his 38 years in office. Studio visits produce better content. Arriving 15 minutes early at WHAS' iHeart studios, Senator McConnell and I were able to talk about a few things off air before we opened the mics. He laughed when I asked if "Cocaine Mitch" was planning

#WHAS100 🎙 Credo Harris laid down the code at WHAS Radio and it still applies 100 years later
Thanks so much to Rick Loader for sending a few WHAS items in honor of the station's 100th birthday. "Microphone Memoirs" was written by Credo Fitch Harris, who was hired in 1922 by Courier Journal owner Judge Robert Worth Bingham to manage the launch of WHAS Radio. This 1937 book by Credo Harris reflects upon the many innovations achieved during the first 15 years of WHAS, Kentucky's first radio station. Here are a few samples of Credo's notes.

#WHAS100 classic interviews 🍕 “Papa John” Schnatter alternately begs for forgiveness while accusing others of setting up his downfall, July 2018
Papa John's Pizza founder John Schnatter used the n-word during a 2018 training call with an agency hired to teach him acceptable communication techniques. Schnatter claimed that Colonel Sanders routinely said n***** without repercussions. Within days, Schnatter's racist reference sent his career into a free fall. He called me and asked "Do you want to interview me?" I told him that there could be no limitations on the subject matter and that I needed 15 minutes to get to a WHAS Radio studio to record it. Schnatter agreed to the terms. The conversation lasted 28 minutes even though Schnatter attempted to end it earlier. It made national news when Schnatter's reluctant apology leaked into defiance and blaming others for coercing him to say
