Donovan-Short-Sized
Hey, it’s Donovan Short – and for those of you I haven’t met over the last decade or so of doing afternoons at KISS-FM, I’ll probably catch you eventual.   I’ve been here in Casper since 1998, when I moved up from my original hometown of Birmingham, Alabama.  The original radio job I came for was only supposed to last a year or so, but I fell in love with Casper, and eventually got married, bought a house, and started a family here – 14 years later, I’m still fortunate to be working with the same great radio station in the same great city, and life is good. One of my favorite things about Casper is the generosity of the people that live here, and how they step up and take care of their own – I do my best to follow your example, and enjoy working with various charities in town, like KISS-FM’s annual Stuff The Van toy drive, and serving on the Board Of Directors for Wyoming Food Bank Of The Rockies, just to name a few.   Enough about me, I’d love to hear from you – say hi on our Facebook, Twitter, 473-1047, or email me.     Thanks for listening to KISS-FM!

Don’t Throw Away Your “Losing” Mega Millions Ticket Without Seeing This

Yesterday, Casper caught Mega Millions fever - and TONS of you called in and won tickets.  By now, you've probably heard that winning tickets were reportedly sold in at least three states - none of which were Colorado, apparently (which is where we bought your tickets from).  However, even if you didn't win over $640 million - DON'T TOSS THAT TICKET YET. It could still be worth anywhere from $250,000 - $2.  Here's how to check and see.

Fun’s – “We Are Young” Might Have Best Slow-Motion Sequence Ever [VIDEO]

Every now and then, one of those REALLY catchy songs comes along here at KISS-FM and turns into part of Casper's brain wallpaper for the next few months - you just can't get it out of there, no matter how hard you try.  Currently, my money is on Fun's "We Are Young" to be the most recent heir to the stuck-in-the-head throne.  And the video might be just as interesting.

Rescued Dog Bites News Anchor On Live TV [VIDEO]

An amazing rescue was caught on tape this week, as an Argentine Mastiff fell into a frozen reservoir, and was heroically saved by local firefighters, as Denver's KUSA caught it on video from their helicopter.  Max the Mastiff became an overnight celebrity in Denver, and eventually nationwide - and stopped by the 9 News morning show this morning with his owner and the fireman - and gave KUSA's Kyle Dyer a little more of an "exclusive" than she bargained for.
