New ron & don producer is old KIRO hand

Former Dave Ross producer, Libby Denkman has apparently been hired as the new producer for the Ron & Don Show. (There's been a vacancy since August when Don reportedly forced out Jason Stein, who produced the asinine pairing to the top of the KIRO heap).

Libby has been Communications Director for Rep. Adam Smith since Feb. 2011. But before that she produced The Dave Ross Show, then Ross & Burbank.

This from BlatherWatch Sept. 5, 2007:

~ Welcome to Libby Denkmann who replaced Tina Nole as the Producer/Chief of Staff of the Dave Ross Show. (KIRO m-f, 9a-12p). Dave, we hear, likes to form and shape producers in his own image, which is not a bad thing. She's 22, just graduated from the UW with a degree in political science and international studies. She interned at the news desk then hired-on  as Tina's associate producer then full time as her replacement. Factoid about Ms Denkmann: she interned for Patty Murray.

We best love this story about Libby and her wayward bra strap.

This won't last long and will end badly. Don has a long history of issues with women.

Wonder what happened with the Adam Smith gig? Seems like a big step down.

Bet she missed Seattle. DC is a little hard to take if you're from around here...

Step down? The Ron & Don show is the most listened to radio talk show in Seattle! Digging up sexy audio off YouTube and the dirt on sports scandals is way more important and glamorous than working for some politician. Unfortunately, the pay for both jobs is less than that of a good cocktail waitress.

Good for Ms. Denkmann.

In regards to Ms Noles, when is Blather going to do an update on her or the other producers discussed in the thread 'the producers' a long time ago. Kind of a 'whatever happened to'

It would be kind of interesting to see how many are still in radio and how many bounced out. It has to be a tough gig.

How and why did this happen?

[ytictnet]

tomorrow the share wheel organiztion is going to begin a sleep out under the direction of the staff consultant
if the residents choose to not participate they have to leave...if there are not enough people that volunteer, a lottery will take place, if your name is selected and you refuse, you are given a permanent bar.(eviction)
the purpose according to the consultant is to raise funds.

this is a man who has stated that the Veterans for peace ended their relationship with Nicklesville, because nicklesville would not allow them to see their finances.

there are tent city residents that have atteneded "grant writing" meetings at share and say that they have applied for grants and been denied because share would not allow them to look at their finances.

How is this fair to these homeless residents.

To stay at these shelters, you are required to do a Community Credit:
participate in a Share admin meeting or sanctioned event, or attend a church from a list authorized by share...if you do not you are barred (evicted) for 7 - 14 days. It was recently learned that this week Share cancelled all meetings....this will leave tent city 4 in the position to have to bar up to 30 people. THere are not enough churches on the list for all the residents.

An action for which you can receive a permanent Bar(eviction)
is to talk about camp business out of camp..there for the reason this is sent anonymous.

Please help: raise public awareness, call the city council, the mayors office, state senators.
THis is only a small sample of how this man treats these people, if you feel what I have described is unjust.. PLEASE HELP

you may email me at this address, if you would like to meet..howeve I have to protect my anonymity...I would be barred and have no where else to go

THank you for reading

The first sleep out is to be organized at the Share office tomorrow evening at 7pm
in the alley way behind Bergman's luggage
