Myron Bunkerling began his broadcasting career in Junior High School, where he was randomly selected to read morning announcements. When the faculty discovered that his soft & steady tone acted as a sedative to the other students, he was given the post indefinitely. He attended Western Manhattan University, where he received a Bachelor’s degree in Public Radio Moderation with a minor in Veterinary Science. His previous programs on National Public Internet include “Myron’s Meow Mix” and “The United Federation of Planets Weekly.” He lives alone in Koreatown with his 37 cats and Guinness record-holding Lite Brite memorabilia collection.
THE ORIGIN OF HAWKE & DOVE
Hawke & Dove met during the 2000 Florida Recount Debacle. Both were incarcerated for separate incidents. Brick Hawke was held on accusations that he had disrupted the peace by encouraging citizens to mount an invasion of Cuba; Attacus Dove had expressed his discontent at the resolution of the election by defecating on Florida Secretary of State Katherine Harris’s porch. Thrown into the same cell and impressed by each other’s ability to debate, Hawke and Dove decided to combine their punditry into the overwhelming juggernaut of conflicting thought we now know and love.
The Hawke and Dove podcast is hosted by National Public Internet correspondent Myron Bunkerling.
