Guys listen, too. “It’s like having the other side’s playbook” and “Kim’s hot, she’s fun, she’s like the girl in the sports bar who understands football.” Real comments from real guys who listen to her hear what their girlfriends and wives are saying.

Kim now calls Austin, Texas home, and she loves the city known for being the Live Music Capitol of the World. But Kim’s personal background and professional career are so like those of other upwardly mobile women it isn’t hard to understand why her show reflects so many different kinds of listeners.

“My roots are in Boise, Idaho,” Kim says. “My American dad and my Vietnamese mom actually married without being able to communicate with each other! Three years later, I was born and they divorced. My dad raised me by himself and bought me a lot of “boy” stuff. Boys have better toys anyway, so it was all for the best. It was from my dad that I learned some important life lessons.

Dad taught me that I could do anything I wanted. And I tried lots of things. I am a jazz drummer, a snowboarder, and a tri-athlete. I started studying music in college, but the whole marching band thing wasn’t me, so I changed gears and finished my 6-year Plan degree in Philosophy.”

All that time to think about thinking led Kim to try Radio and Television on both coasts. Kim says, “I loved living in New York City and being a TV reporter and host there. The vibe of the city runs through everything and everyone 24/7, and the people work hard and play hard. The food is unmatched anywhere in the world, and the shopping! Don’t get me started! But you can’t beat the mountains out west for snowboarding, or the sun on the west coast!”

Kim’s show rolls all of her experience “And men, lot’s of men” into a program about life, love, relationships and reality, with a meaningful blend of pop music, fashion and food. If you’re talking about it, your girlfriend Kim Iverson is, too. Meet Kim on the radio tonight,10 PM to Midnight, during Your Time with Kim Iversen.
