NEW BEGINNINGS AT RADIO TITANS, AS
TEAM MEMBER ADAM GROPMAN WAS ONE OF THE 33 COUPLES MARRIED AT THE GRAMMYS ON
NATIONAL TELEVISION AND THE SITE ITSELF SPRINGS BACK TO LIFE BIGGER THAN EVER
FEBRUARY 3 AFTER A 5-MONTH HIATUS!
Imagine
being married with more than 28 million people watching, rapper/actress Queen
Latifah saying your vows and a combo of Macklemore &Ryan Lewis and
Madonna serving as your wedding singers. That amazing scenario happened
Sunday night for 33 couples, and one of them was Los Angeles comedian Adam
Gropman and his bride Robyn Monks.
The
happy couple rode a string of lucky breaks into the historic ceremony, where
they were featured smiling widely while holding hands before taking part in
the group vows. Gropman is also a writer for the LA Weekly, and he will be
sharing his story in an article for the New York Times shortly.
Gropman
is also a proud long time member of the podcasting site www.radiotitans.com, where he co hosted numerous episodes of the site’s late-night
comedy and music series “Pajama Party” alongside Titans founder Carl
Kozlowski and Christina Myers. Gropman will also be sharing his story from
the Grammys at 10 pm PST next Monday, Feb. 3, when he makes his final
official hosting appearance on “Party” before segueing into hosting his own
show on the site in the coming weeks.
"To get married is a big deal. To get married on the
floor of the Grammys, after Metallica jammed with Lang Lang, standing in the
aisle near Quincy Jones, Nine Inch Nails and Queens Of The Stone Age, to be
married by Queen Latifah to rapping by Macklemore and singing by Madonna and
then to shake hands with Sir Paul McCartney and high-five Ringo, that's F'ing
crazy!!” says Gropman. “Something Robyn and I will have forever. Hellofa
wedding story!”
Rising
Upright Citizens Brigade talent Anastasia Washington will be replacing
Gropman as a host of “Pajama Party,” joining Kozlowski and Myers as they
bring the beats and the funny to listeners on a weekly basis . Washington is
not the only UCB talent coming to Radio Titans, as veteran performer Jake
Friday is bringing the station a newly formed sketch team to perform an
audio-sketch show that follows in the footsteps of “The National Lampoon
Radio Hour” starting Feb. 23.
Radio
Titans was named one of the “Frontier Fifty” – the 50 most innovative
talk-radio and podcasting sites in America – by www.talkers.com, the talk-radio industry’s primary news site, last August. It
was an honor for the year-old site, as they were able to share honors with
the likes of Marc Maron and Adam Carolla, and the honor inspired them to take
a five-month hiatus and relaunch in a bigger, better format next Monday, Feb.
3.
The
site, which hosted about a dozen shows at its prior peak, will be relaunching
with 20 new and returning shows hosted by comedy veterans and hot newcomers,
including “Monkey With A Brain” by Shang, “The Best of Everything” with
Ruben Paul, a new show by Bil Dwyer and “Little Ethnic Girls” with Helen Hong
and Maria Shehata. Several more shows will be launching in time for March.
Numerous
music shows are also planned for the site, which also intends to launch a
series of live comedy and rock events across Los Angeles in the coming
months.
