Friday Finds: Jeff & Jer Showgram

I know what you’re thinking. Why is this week’s Friday Find the Jeff & Jer Showgram? What does that have to do with private schools in San Diego? And wait a minute! Is their show even on the radio anymore? Let me share with you the top five reasons why the Jeff & Jer Showgram is this week’s Friday Find.

My daughter and I listened to Jeff and Jerry every morning for years on our drive to the private school that she attended and where I happened to work. Their show was interesting, family-friendly, and made us laugh.
Many San Diegans consider the Showgram to be a San Diego institution. Similarly, many consider private schools to be institutions. (See how it’s all coming together?) While their show isn’t on the radio anymore, they do have a web-based show called Live From Jerry’s Garage (LFJG) that is recorded in Jerry’s garage. Really! You can even watch episodes on their website. As Jeff says,

This isn’t a really good morning show. It’s in a guy’s garage. But it’s the only one left in town!
One morning on the Showgram, Laura – who is also on the show along with Little Tommy and Randy – mentioned her search for a private school in San Diego for her child. (Another tie to private schools!)
The goal of the Friday Finds is to “… highlight a blog, website, Twitter feed, or Facebook fan page that we think is interesting and relevant to people who are interested in private school education in San Diego.” I’m guessing that a lot of people who are interested in private school education in San Diego are also interested in Jeff and Jerry.
Finally, if there’s one thing I admire and can relate to it’s being motivated to make virtual lemonade out of really tart lemons.

So hurray for Jeff & Jer and the rest of the Showgram family! Congratulations on being selected as this week’s Friday Find. We’ll listen to you – and watch you – anywhere you’re broadcasting.

There are rumors circulating that today, Friday, January 15, there will be a big announcement concerning the future of the Jeff & Jer Showgram. Our fingers are crossed that they’ll be announcing a return to the radio airwaves, but whatever happens, you’ve gotta love their gumption.
