Uncle Joe Benson

100.3 The Sound (KSWD)
Morning Personality

Playing music on the radio since October 1968, and on the Los Angeles airwaves since October 1980, Joe Benson's presence both on and off-air has made his voice and name one of the most recognized in Southern California broadcasting. He also hosts the nationally syndicated OFF THE RECORD with Joe Benson musicians interview program, and has published six volumes of UNCLE JOE'S RECORD GUIDES. Since the mid-Eighties, J.B. has announced at every Southern California auto racing venue including the Auto Club Speedway since it's 1997 inception — in the process interviewing every major race driver in America. As a driver, Joe has won NASCAR oval races, NHRA drag races, SCCA road races and a SCCA Driver's Championship. His UNCLE JOE'S RACING cars have been used regularly for public appearances since 1989.

If you were to ask him, Joe would tell you that he's been very lucky to have worked with and met so many people, and to have touched the lives of millions of listeners. To those Southland listeners, he is truly their Uncle Joe!
