About Casey O
Name:
Casey Osburn
Birthday and Birth Place:
October 13 in Newton, KS
Who or What is Your Biggest Influence:
Greg Williams, Jason Younger and JJ Morgan, all for different reasons. Greg taught me how to be energetic on the air, how to have fun and sound like I'm having fun, even when I'm having a bad day. Jason taught me a lot about how to deal with people in a corporate environment, i.e. office politics! JJ has taught me so much about how to be a good Hot AC programmer and a good jock. I continue to learn from all three of these guys every day.

MOST EMBARASSING MOMENT:
At a college station I worked at, a wire was shorting out and I thought the microphone was dead. So I was talking into it and saying some rather inappropriate things trying to get it to work, and the whole time it was going over the air. I almost retired from radio that night.
