John Hamilton, Producer/Co-Host and World Traveler
Home Town: Orlando, Florida; London, England; Byron Bay, Australia
Career Highlights: As a free-lance writer, I've been proud to poke and prod
charlatans, hucksters and various politicos at every opportunity. As a radio
broadcaster, I've been happy to have worked at some great radio stations as well
as some real doghouses--it taught me how to do radio correctly. As a
software/application developer, I've learned that client's checks need to be
verified as quickly as possible.
Current Profession: All of the above; most proud to be associated with a quality
local radio program like the People Power Hour.
Hobby: Reading and travel. There's too much to see in the world to be stuck in
one place, and travel is the best educational experience there is.
Last Book Read: "Atlas Shrugged" by Ayn Rand for the 10th time; "Outlaw Journalist: The Life and Times of Hunter S. Thompson" by fellow Floridian William McKeen.
Last Movie
Viewed: Amélie and Trainspotting on DVD.
Latest Accomplishment: Tweaking the nose of the burghers of Orlando by continuing to help feed the homeless at Lake Eola; producing Orlando's best
radio show.
Why I Do What I Do: Somebody's gotta do it. And let's face it, when the going gets weird, the Weird turn Pro.
Political Stance: Small "L" libertarian; I have no use for political parties as
such. Wanna know why? Look around....
Quote: "The Edge... there is no honest way to explain it because the only people
who really know where it is are the ones who have gone over." - Dr. Hunter S.
Thompson
