Jim Sveda's stealth vacation

According to KUSC, he's

The man with a "classical radio voice from central casting."
The man with more "as my grandmother said" tales than you can shake a grandmother axiom at.
The man who can tell the Rodrigo Aranjuez story like no other.



This guy is on air every weekday evening on KUSC from 7 PM to midnight.

And he must be old enough to receive Medicare.  :)

There was one time in 2010, when he took a three week vacation, which he definitely deserves.

Brenda Barnes, the president of KUSC, took his place back then.



I haven't heard him openly take vacations since that time, but if you listen carefully, he takes "stealth" vacations now and then.

KUSC will air recordings of past broadcasts in these cases.

You may notice when he mentions something seasonal, or the day of the week, and it doesn't match.  :)



He just took two weeks off.

On the week of 9/23, they aired recordings from the week of 7/15.

Last week was substituted by recordings from various dates.

9/30 : 5/14/12
10/1 : 11/20/12
10/2 : 7/3/13
10/3 : 11/1/12
10/4 : 9/28/12



Maybe he was getting ready for the Fall Membership Drive, which they are currently in the middle of.
