Phil Cianciola RSS Feed Twitter Feed

Phil is a Milwaukee guy. He was born and raised in Milwaukee, a graduate of UW-Milwaukee in 1982. He first took to the airwaves in the Milwaukee market in the fall of 1978 when he began attending classes at UWM.

Married to Sandy, another Milwaukeean. No children but a Cairn terrier named Gabby. (Phil is very active with the Wisconsin Humane Society).

Phil has made a connection with the people of this area through his decades of reaching out to them via the radio while talking about the events and news stories that affect the entire community. That connection is reflected in the hundreds of e-mails and blog comments that have been sent or posted in support of his next project, the PhilCast podcast.

 No Greyhounds will be killed because a racetrack is closing...
On the Tuesday PhilCast, the show starts on the road, when Phil Cianciola interviews the new executive director of the Wisconsin Humane Society, Anne Reed on location. Also on the subject of dogs, Phil clears up any confusion about an email floating around that says some of the racing dogs will have to be put down when Dairyland Greyhound Park closes at the end of the year--WRONG! Some of your contest letters are read, and then it's the story about Mayfair Mall sorta-kinda paying shoppers to park there on Black Friday.
