Saturday Soundtrack Podcast hosted by Rick Stuart
Big Rick Stuart is a big fan of the Napa Valley and greater Bay Area. Now he does what he loves, radio and riding bicycles.
Napa has been part of his life since the days his dad took him to Sprint Car races at Calistoga – driving past the then golf course at Chimney Rock – to taking his wife on an early date on the Wine Train to realizing a dream and living in Yountville.
Big Rick grew up in the Bay Area and grew up on the radio. His radio resume includes working at The Quake in the 80’s, Live 105 for 14 years until 2000, then KFOG until 2010. Big Rick moved on to KFOX in San Jose for 5 years.
Big Rick is now on KVYN “The Vine” on the weekends with “Saturday Soundtrack” & “Napa Brunch Vibes,” including re-creator of the “10@10” — 10 great songs from 1 great year airing 10am daily.
“I love the commitment The Vine has to local events and news. I hear about local events happening around here all the time. And there is a lot going on!”
“Big City radio isn’t geared to serving local communities like The Vine. That is a huge appeal to me about what I get to do. So many groups do so much here for others. I love to participate in events like the Cycle For Sight bicycle ride – that’s just one example of what others do for each other here. The commitment to the community is strong.”
“I couldn’t think of a better place to be on the radio!”
My interests include: biking, wine and food which most my content reflects.
