KNKX Morning Edition host Kirsten Kendrick: After more than two decades on our air, Adam Gerke is saying farewell. He is no longer going to be doing traffic on the radio, and since he has been on the station longer than I have, I had to bring him in to have a final chat before he signs off. Adam joins me in studio.
I have to say, Adam, I’m so happy for you, but also sad, because I, along with our listeners, are going to miss you so much. We have been together in the mornings for the past 18 years, and you have been doing traffic on our air even longer than that.
