Stories. Opinions. Life on the air.
Some stories are too good to leave off the air.
I'm Psycho Sammy Lee. Radio gave me a microphone, a nickname, and a front-row seat to some things you couldn't make up if you tried. This is where the stories, opinions, laughs, music, and life beyond the studio all come together.

Yeah. That really happened.
Years behind the microphone lead to some unforgettable moments. Here are a few that deserve to be told.
How I went “Psycho”
A KISS concert, a couple of guys spilling beer, and a complaint to the station the next day. That's how the name Psycho Sammy Lee was born.
Radio storiesThe free candy van
The station limo left me at a Halloween concert. A listener dressed as Medusa came to the rescue—in a white van marked “FREE CANDY.”
You can't make this upWhy the overnight shift mattered
Sure, I wanted the big rated shift. But late-night radio gave me conversations and connections that stayed with me long after sunrise.
Life on the airThere's more than one side to Sammy
On the air.
Off the air.
Never boring.
There's the broadcasting, of course. But there's also the music, the people, the fire and rescue world, technology, business, and a lifetime of things worth talking about. This isn't a website about just one format of music—or just one chapter of life.
The moments behind the stories
Life in pictures.
A place for photos from the radio years, concerts, friends, and everything in between. The personal gallery will grow as the pictures are added.
