Diligent, Dedicated, Resourceful, Creative, Focused

"A few words that best describe Shane Sharkey and his work: Diligent, Dedicated, Resourceful, Creative, Focused. I couldn't do what I do without him, or at least I don't want to have to find out."


Ron Fell

Producer, Oakland Raiders Radio Network




Shane is an expert in every aspect of production

"Shane has been a delight to work with in every respect for the seven years we have collaborated together on the syndicated Putumayo World Music Hour. He's a consummate professional with painstaking attention to detail and produces a beautiful program with a smooth flow and subtle flourishes. He's a great asset during recording sessions, as he catches errors and inconsistencies, helps us edit on the fly with excellent and tactfully presented copy suggestions. Shane is an expert in every aspect of production, but he's also fun to work with and always a pleasure to be around. I don't see how you could do any better anywhere."

Everyone should have a Shane Sharkey on their side

"I am glad I have Shane Sharkey on my staff. He has accepted and performed at a high level with everything that has been assigned to him; producing live programming, heading up the Raiders radio broadcast team, engineering for Northern California's Number 1 radio station KGO, winning awards for his editing and being an all around affable guy. Everyone should have a Shane Sharkey on their side."

I can't live without Shane

"A great engineer is crucial to what I do, but engineer is such a small word for such a big job. When I am on air, which I am lucky enough to say I have been at #1 stations doing #1 shows for a decade now (KGO, KNX, KFI), my engineer is part of my show. I take my show VERY seriously. That is why I can't live without Shane. Not only does he take care of me as talent, but he edits on the fly, he creates hysterical parodies involving audio from the show and current music, he inserts sound bytes throughout my monologues to make them far more entertaining (at least for me!)...in short, his talent at what he does is equal to everyone around him, meaning big time for all the marbles huge station huge market thing. At KFI, I had Clay Roe, who made Andrew and I sound fabulous from Los Angeles to Jacksonville Florida. I know I am in equally capable, if not even more innovative hands, with Shane. And that fact that he gets the web and long distance producing is a great plus!"
