Phlash Phelps Observes 14-Years On SiriusXM

60s on 6 Personality Phlash Phelps
Art Vuolo
Phlash Phelps, the SiriusXM “60s on 6” morning host, was entertaining well-wishers on the air Thursday morning to celebrate his 14th year on the satellite broadcaster when who should call in but “Radio’s Best Friend,” Art Vuolo.

“Art is the one who got me my job here!” Phelps exclaimed.

Well, sort of — Vuolo has videos of innumerable radio stars at vuolovideo.com, and he often touts new talent to programmers, according to The Detroit News.

Ph­elps recounted how in 2000 Vuolo sent a 10-year-old videotape of the jock to Dave Logan and Lee Abrams when they were launching what was then XM Radio. “They hired me in 2000, on the basis of a 10-year-old video,” Phelps laughed. “I didn’t even know what satellite radio was.” He quickly found out and gave kudos to Vuolo for the hire. How about a commission?
