Early Radio Career
In 1980, Soucheray entered the radio business, joining with then-St. Paul Pioneer Press sports columnist Patrick Reusse as co-host Monday Night Sports Talk on KSTP radio. The show was known for its cast of callers doing impressions of various celebrities, in and out of the sports world, of widely varying quality - and, very occasionally, discussion about sports. The lack of actual sports content on "MNST" was a running gag between Soucheray, Reusse and the audience.
The show aired until the early nineties, until Soucheray began his daily "Garage Logic" program (see below). The "Sports Talk" brand lived on in the duo's weekend show, "Saturday Morning Sports Talk" and has continued with the weekday version of "Sports Talk" which began airing on Monday, February 15, 2010, allowing them to lay claim to the "longest-running sports talk show in history."
