The varied backgrounds of our KZSM.org program hosts reflect the diversity of our vibrant, creative community. On Mondays from 4-6 p.m., you can hear unique voices from Brooklyn via North Carolina on “Sid’s Place,” a wide-ranging celebration of “oldies” with some current events commentary included for contrast.
Host Sid Braverman has “been recording music since I was twelve--off the radio for my personal collection of old reel-to-reel tapes.” His passion for collecting music began in his native Brooklyn but developed into a radio show about twelve years ago when he moved to North Carolina and discovered Carolina Gold Public Radio. He created an oldies show for them and later adapted the show for our KZSM.org community radio format.
Sid’s oldies include some 40s tunes, but mainly hits from the 50s, 60s, 70s, with a few selections from the last decades of the twentieth century. Those memorable du-wops from the late 50s and early 60s are among his favorites, along with Chuck Berry, the Beatles, and other performers from that period. Host Sid hopes that “maybe the music takes listeners back to some wonderful era.”
