WKAR’s Scott Pohl Retires After 36 YearsReporter Scott Pohl found a home on the WKAR airwaves back in 1984 and at the end of April will be retiring. We have a hunch he’ll still be heard on the radio here and there with WKAR, but before he hangs up his microphone for a spell, we had to turn the tables and ask him a few questions for a change.

Who was your favorite interview for WKAR?My favorite novelist, John Irving. Prayer For Owen Meany is my favorite novel. I spoke with him by phone prior to coming to MSU for a celebrity lecture at the Wharton Center. I couldn’t help myself in fanboying with him.

What’s the first thing you’ll do on the first day of retirement? If possible, play golf.

How has journalism changed from when you started with WKAR?Countless ways, in terms of technology; not at all in terms of our commitment to accuracy and fairness.

Will you still wear your iconic bowties?Yes, on the occasions when I still need to dress like a grownup (which I assume will be less often).

Apr. 2We’ll hit the ol’ dusty trails this week with an hour of music from westerns, like James Horner’s Legends of the Fall, Elmer Bernstein’s The Magnificent Seven, and call out for Victor Young’s Shane.

Apr. 9With so many wonderful scores by John Williams, we’ve been sampling his music by decades and in this episode, we go back to the ‘90s. The decade that gave us his scores to Amistad, Jurassic Park, and the recently reevaluated wonder of Hook.

Apr. 16Open a good book with us as we journey through adaptations of 19th century literature. Thomas Newman’s ‘90s version of Little Women, Brian Easdale’s timeless music to The Red Shoes, and Aaron Copland’s Oscar-winning music to The Heiress.

Apr. 23An hour of music by composer David Raksin who, at first, was nearly fired from Modern Times by Charlie Chaplin, but would soon become great friends with The Tramp. Chaplin even visited Raksin working on The Bad and the Beautiful just before being exiled from the United States.
