If you have ever listened to FM radio on your morning commute in
Texas, then at one point or another you've probably listened to Kidd
Kraddick in the Morning, a nationally-syndicated morning talk show
that was based near Dallas. The eponymous host, Kidd Kraddick, died
this past weekend while attending a golf tournament fundraiser for his
charity, Kidd's Kids, in New Orleans. He was 53.
Further details explaining Kraddick's sudden death have yet to emerge,
but the Dallas Morning News reports that he fell ill during the golf
tournament, only taking a few swings before leaving.
The relationship between the listeners of morning radio shows and
their producers is an odd, passive, not entirely engaged one—most of
the time, you're only really half-listening. For Texans, Kraddick's
show was the comforting, avuncular (disembodied) voice that distracted
from the morning traffic jam to work or school.
But he was always on, every weekday morning, and to a generation of
drivers, he could be considered the Casey Kasem of Texas. Plus, we'll
forever and always ship Kidd and his co-host Kelly Rasberry, who
shared the on-air rapport of a cranky, endearing married couple.
"I knew what it felt like to be divorced, and now I feel like I know
what it's like to be a widow," Rasberry said on the show this morning.
