Joe Soucheray - Garage Logic

Soucheray began hosting his daily Garage Logic drive-time radio show on KSTP on April 29, 1993. In it, Soucheray acts as the mayor of a mythical town bearing the same name as the radio show: Garage Logic, county seat of Gumption County. The motivating idea is to promote traditional values and is a sort of criticism of modern American pop culture and Minnesota's dominant liberal culture, although Soucheray would never wax so philosophical, preferring to stick with the slogan, "Anything that needs to be figured out can be figured out in the garage."

Soucheray has been joined on the air by producer Matt "The Rookie" Michalski since the late 1990s. Rookie is the voice behind many skits and imitations on "Garage Logic" (Janice Borman the chain-smoking marathon runner who takes days to finish, former US President Bill Clinton, former MN governor Jesse Ventura, and former Saint Paul mayor Norm Coleman) and "Saturday Morning Sports Talk" (Clem Haskins). Rookie was often held to mythical 6:00 pm meetings with Soucheray (after conclusion of the show) if he so raised the Mayor's dander by not paying attention. At this point Soucheray would simply say, "6 o'clock." More often, with regard to Rookie's inattentiveness or tomfoolery, Soucheray could often be heard asking Rookie if he actually listens to the show that he is producing.

The program has occupied several time slots during its run as the station's other programming has shifted, but for over a decade it, along with Rush Limbaugh's program, was part of a combination that made KSTP the dominant talk station in the market. With Limbaugh's departure from the station in 2006, Soucheray became KSTP's sole marquee talent.
