John Richards is an American radio personality. Originally from Couer d'Alene, Idaho, he grew up in Spokane, Washington before moving to Seattle.[1] He is the host and producer of The Morning Show and Audioasis on 90.3 FM KEXP Seattle, Washington.[2] He is also KEXP’s assistant program director and is referred to on air as "John in the Morning". His show is on weekday mornings from 6AM-10AM PST, and always begins with the theme song written specifically for The Morning Show by local Seattle musician Damien Jurado.[3]
Richards works on a number of music projects outside of radio. He hosted the music video program The Local Music Show on the local Seattle Channel.[4]
Richards created International Clash Day in 2013 "for no other reason than the fact that he could."[5] It is now celebrated across the world, not only in the State of Washington, but in Austin, Ithaca, Kent, San Francisco, Seattle, Tucson, Vancouver B.C., Bridgwater (UK), and Washington D.C.[6]
Richards has done an annual "Mom Show" since 2004: On November 13, the anniversary of his mothers death, his show features song requests and messages from listeners that deal with the shared experience of grief.[7]
Richards' annual "Songs of Love and Hate" show features "songs of yearning, lust, loss, and heartbreak"[8] on Valentine's Day.
