Discover Lafayette welcomes Hans Nelsen, known on air as “Fast,” who co-hosts the morning show on Big 102.1 from 6:00 to 10:00 a.m. each weekday with CJ Clements. Pictured are CJ Clements and “Fast” (Hans Nelson), co-hosts of Big 102.1’s Morning Show Hans has been on the air in South Louisiana since 1985, starting as a USL student working the graveyard shift at a new urban contemporary station and going on to serve as on-air talent, program director, account executive, and sales manager at several top local stations. He also spent years as a stadium voice and play-by-play broadcaster, and his career has become intertwined with the story of local broadcasting in Acadiana. Hans was joined by his lifelong friend Sean Trcalek, General Manager of KATC TV-3, who was once known on radio as “Charlie Roberts.” The two reminisce about their early days as radio co-hosts and their lifelong friendship. Early Love of Music and the Magic of Radio Hans grew up in a home filled with very different kinds of music, from German organ to big show tunes, and a little boy's transistor radio became his portal to the wider world of sound. He recalls: “I grew up in a household where my dad listened to German organ music and would play it throughout the house on Sunday afternoons. We had to listen to it whether we wanted to or not. My mom was really into big show tunes. ‘I’m Gonna Wash That Man Right Out of My Hair” and “The Sound of Music.” But his own soundtrack lived on his bike: “As a little boy, I had a transistor radio that I taped to the handlebars of my bike, and I would listen to top 40 in one way or another. 1972.” He loved the Eagles, Fleetwood Mac, and pop hits like “Billy, Don’t Be a Hero.” As he got older, he says, “I really wanted to be a musician, and I wanted to be a singer, and I can’t really do any of that. I can play a little guitar, but radio was this next opportunity, though I didn’t really know you could turn it into a career. I just thought it would be something I did for fun.” Learning Radio on the Graveyard Shift Hans' first job was at an urban contemporary station, Foxy 106.3 (KFXZ). Growing up in New Iberia, he already knew some of the music: “It’s funny, you could be a rock guy, but also listen to the Gap Band and Kool and the Gang.” Even so, he had to go deeper into that catalog for a targeted audience: “This was deeper and a more targeted ethnic audience. But it was a piece of cake, because I loved music.” Being alone on the air at night was intimidating: “Well, I’d listen to so much radio. You try to imitate or emulate Casey Kasem, but I was so terrible. The fact that they let me stay past the first night…It was the middle of the night miracle.” He also remembers the mind games of that lonely studio: “You’re in a room by yourself and you can play mind games because you can either convince yourself that no one hears you, or that everyone’s listening. That one mistake, everybody’s going to hear it.” Hustling Through College Radio and 24-Hour Weekends Still in school, Hans got a weekend job at KVOL (1330 AM) and was quickly recruited by KSMB: “On my second shift, Scott Seagraves called me from KSMB and said, I’m listening to you. Do you want to come work for me?” He was “so hungry” to be on the air that he took on extraordinary hours. ““I would do six to noon on KSMB on Saturday and Sunday, and quickly added noon to six on weekends at KXKW. So, I worked 24 hours in two days and worked at a bar both nights. But I knew that I had the bug, and I turn it into a job!” That building is where he and Sean first truly connected and eventually became a morning team: “And Sean comes into that building, we end up being the morning team and here we are.” https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y1XZVTbmikg Teaming Up with Sean: Voices, Characters, and Parodies Sean came in as a young newsreader, hired to do newscasts in the morning and afternoon. Their chemistry led to a two-man show that blurred the lines between straight news and wild characters. Sean explains: “It started as you and Debbie Ray and me in news. Well, when Debbie left, it was you and me doing news. And I think it was just kind of like. Why do we need a third guy? You know, I still did the newscast, but it was a two man show.” Hans recalls the “credibility issue”: “Sean's doing the ‘17 people were killed today' delivering the news and then he’s doing this crazy voice five minutes later and people knew it was the same guy. But we somehow just moved past that.” The two displayed a gift for spontaneous skits and song parodies: “We both could really rewrite song lyrics. We could make custom versions of big songs at the time. Remember Michael Johnson's ‘Give me wings, gimme wings.” It would end up, “Don’t give me legs. Breasts or thighs!” Hans says the creativity often felt effortless. “What was special about us? A special talent we both had was that there was no prep. We would sometimes do stuff and turn the microphone off. We’d look at each other thinking, that’s good. How did we just do that?” Hans Nelson (‘Fast’) and Sean Trcalek (‘Charlie Roberts’) pictured early in their broadcasting careers on the radio together. They have remained close friends over the decades. Humor, Changing Sensibilities, and Wanting Everyone to Feel Welcome Looking back at their 1980s material, Hans is candid about how much humor standards have changed: “Yeah, it was humor, but let’s just say sensibilities are different, right?” He offered a vivid analogy from pro wrestling to show how certain stereotypes were once normalized and now are not: “The character development in the 70s and 80s was the Iranian guy or the Nazi guy was the bad guy. It was what they did. You just don’t do that now, right?” Hans shared his personal compass: “I always wanted everybody to like me. I need as many listeners as I can get. They don’t have to look like me. They don’t have to vote like me. They don’t have to drive the same kind of car as me. But I want everybody to say, ‘I like listening to that guy on the radio.” Music, Memory, and Nostalgia of Radio For both Hans and Sean, music is deeply emotional and geographically specific; certain songs instantly bring them back to particular corners of their childhoods. Hans shared, “Some songs. What I’ve always been amazed by is when you hear a song and it brings you to a specific place. I mean, like a certain corner in your hometown and you’re like, why am I thinking of that when I hear Sammy John's “Chevy Van?” He offers another vivid memory: “Saturday in the Park by Chicago reminds me of standing in line at Saint Edward’s Catholic School for the cafeteria. I don’t know why.” Becoming “Fast Eddie” and Then Simply “Fast” A big turning point came when KSMB's sister station needed a music director and night disc jockey. The job came with a new name Hans disliked: “They tell me, your name is going to be Fast Eddie.” He tried to negotiate the name away, but wouldn't get the job if he didn't accept the on-air name. KSMB was too big to walk away from: Later, when he was put in charge of a new station and morning show, he pushed to shorten the name: “When we put the morning show on, it was the rude awakening with ‘Fast Eddie and Rob.' We could have done it. It just didn’t sound right. Fast is a speed, not a name, but it ended up being I can’t go anywhere and people yell it out like it’s normal. When I hear Hans, it’s heartwarming. I love being Hans, I wish I could be Hans on air.” The Power and Future of Local Broadcasting Both Hans and Sean describe themselves first and foremost as broadcasters: “What we have always had in common and still have in common is we’re broadcasters. People say, what do you do? I don’t say I’m the general manager of a TV station, or I’m a broadcaster. We’re local broadcasters and we’re passionate about it. We have been since the day we met, and to this day, we’re passionate about the impact that local radio and television can have on a market.” For Hans, that impact includes everything from playing nostalgia-filled music to public service in storms: “By impact, I mean moving people. When you play music, when you tell them what the weather’s going to be like, but also telling people where to go pick up sandbags.” Hans reminds us, “During a hurricane, we’re still the last man standing. TV stations may go down… but I have been on the air during hurricanes when I was the only voice available on the air in this market.” Sean highlights the advocacy role broadcasters have played in keeping AM radio in cars: “We are big advocates, and were successful this past year in advocating that automakers continue to be required to put AM radios in new cars. The reason to keep AM radio is that its infrastructure often remains operational when power grids fail and cell networks are overloaded or damaged, providing a core part of the Emergency Alert System (EAS). During events like hurricanes, AM stations became the primary way people received verified, real-time information, coordinated help, and connected with the outside world when phones and internet were down. They both reject the idea that streaming will wipe out local media: Hans says, “I’ll wrap that up with saying, Satellite radio and Netflix are not going to mean the end of local radio and local TV.” A Morning Show Today: Competing With Phones, Not Just Stations Hans reflects on what it's like doing a local morning show in 2020s Lafayette: “Technologically, it’s very different. Audience participation and reception is very different. We compete with many more things. I believe my biggest competitor in drive time is the telephone.” Listeners no longer call to check school closures, they get texts, but live local radio still plays a crucial role, especially in emergencies. Hans and his long-time friend CJ now host a show built on deep local roots: “We put this show together with almost a hundred years of Lafayette radio experience in one room for four hours a morning. There’s nothing that has happened here since the 60s that we don’t know about. We know where every street is. We know where the schools are. We know it. To me, it is a gift.” Big 102.1 has embraced app listening while staying “radio-first”: “On big 102.1, we've had over 1,000,000 hours of listening on our app. We’re still a radio station first. So if that many people are listening, that’s why we’re still effective… we do everything we can to stay connected to the audience, to do relevant things, provide relevant content and make it fun.” Voice of the Ragin' Cajuns From 2009 to 2017, Hans served as the stadium voice for UL Lafayette football and basketball, a role that grew out of his lifelong fandom: “I was such a fan. I was a Ragin Cajun as a kid. I wasn’t an LSU kid or a Tulane kid. It was USL.” Eventually, security protocols and family priorities pushed him to step away so he could watch games in the stands with his daughter: “Because of security protocol, she could not come in the press box. So when it was my weekend, I lost the whole Saturday and I said I would rather be in the stands with her watching the game.” His last act as stadium voice was a memorable one: “So my last duty was to introduce Billy Napier as the head coach. And I resigned that day.” Christian's Story, Organ Donation, and a Legacy of Life In one of the most moving parts of our conversation, Hans shares the story of his son Christian, who died after a workplace accident in 2013. Christian fell from a picker truck in a warehouse, and although doctors did everything they could, the injury was catastrophic. “He fell 20 feet. When you say 20 feet, you think broken ankle, maybe broken arm, but somehow, on the way down, his feet hit the forklift and flipped him. And he landed on his head.” At the hospital, after a brief brain surgery, the doctor came in and said, “Call your family.” When representatives from Louisiana Organ Procurement Agency arrived, Hans initially felt overwhelmed and resistant: “I’m like, heck no, I’m dealing with too much.” His ex-wife, Jenn, reminded him of Christian's own wishes when he got his license. “She said he would want to do it because he asked about it when he got his driver’s license.” That decision changed everything; “I realized he was going to save somebody’s life. We ended up saving four lives and it was life changing for us.” Christian's heart went to a teenage male that had been waiting for a heart for 18 months with time running out. Christian's right kidney and pancreas went to a female in her 30s. His liver went to a female in her 40s, and his left kidney went to a little boy. His corneas were donated, which gave sight to 2 people. Hans began speaking to civic groups and driver's ed classes about organ donation: “We would tell kids at Driver’s Ed like, they’re going to ask you about this when you get your license, you should know what it means. Most people can’t be an organ donor, even if they want to. You have to die a certain way.” He and Jenn started the Christian's Legacy Foundation to create awareness of the importance of organ donation and to provide support to donor families. Stories of other young donors continue to touch him deeply: “All these years later, those stories touch me in a different way. And I would not have read that story the same way had I not gone through that.” Is Broadcasting Still a Good Career? Asked if he would still recommend a career in broadcasting, Hans doesn't hesitate, though he acknowledges the landscape has changed: “I’m always going to recommend a career in broadcast. Sean explains that media sales in particular remain a strong path, even as technology and products evolve: “Your competition is different. Your products might be different. But of all we do, that’s probably changed the least.” There are fewer jobs, but better pay and more efficiency: “KATC had 100 employees not long ago. Our building was built for 120 people and we’ve got 52 now. And it’s not just because of efficiencies. Our cameras are robotic now Hans still longs to see young people with the same hunger he and Sean had: “I would love to see some young person who was like me or Sean who was willing to work 24 hours in two days when I was at KSMB. They fired the janitor, and for nine months I cleaned the building every night after I did my show, because I wanted them to see that I was willing to do anything to make it. And that’s not beneath me.” Through stories of late-night graveyard shifts, irreverent morning shows, hurricane coverage, stadium announcing, heartbreaking loss, and renewed purpose, Hans Nelson, “Fast,” reminds us why local broadcasting still matters. As he and Sean put it, they are, above all, local broadcasters, passionate about “the impact that local radio and television can have on a market” and the ways music, stories, and community can move people.

Don and Dude return to Classic Casey Countdowns, this time jumping to December 2, 1989, to trace the stories behind two albums tied to Top 10 hits from Casey Kasem's American Top 40. The episode revisits how Paula Abdul and Alice Cooper helped capture the glossy, hook-heavy sound of the chart's closing weeks of the 1980s.Paula Abdul – Forever Your Girl (1988) Paula Abdul's debut, Forever Your Girl, transforms her from superstar choreographer into full-fledged pop icon, blending dance-pop, New Jack Swing, and bright R&B textures across a tightly produced set. Powered by hits like “Straight Up,” “Cold Hearted,” and “(It's Just) The Way That You Love Me,” the album pairs punchy drum machines and synth hooks with Paula's charismatic, rhythmic vocals, defining late-'80s MTV and Top 40 radio.Alice Cooper – Trash (1989) With Trash, Alice Cooper stages a late-'80s glam-metal comeback, teaming with hitmaker Desmond Child and an all-star cast from Bon Jovi, Aerosmith, Winger, and more to deliver a sleek, hook-loaded hard rock record. From the darkly seductive hit “Poison” to power ballads like “Only My Heart Talkin'” and rockers such as “House of Fire,” the album balances shock-rock attitude with radio-ready choruses for a sharp, 40-minute dose of melodic arena metal.Dude is Diggin':AVTT/PTTN – AVTT/PTTN (2025): A wild, imaginative collaboration between The Avett Brothers and Mike Patton that fuses Appalachian folk warmth with experimental, fuzzed-out art rock, full of soaring harmonies and left-turn arrangements.Faith No More – The Real Thing (1989): The genre-bending breakthrough that introduced Mike Patton and pushed metal, funk, rap, and alt-rock into a strange, thrilling hybrid that still feels adventurous decades later.Don is Diggin':De La Soul – Cabin in the Sky (2025): A mature, soulful return that honors Trugoy's memory while leaning into reflective, optimistic lyricism over warm, eclectic production.Kingfishr – Halcyon (2025): An atmospheric indie-folk debut from an Irish trio that blends big, emotional choruses with cinematic arrangements and nostalgic storytelling rooted in home and landscape.Follow the show on Instagram, Facebook, Threads, and Bluesky @albumnerds, and support by subscribing, rating, reviewing, and sharing. “If you're going to try to write a hit single, don't be clever, be obvious. Get to the chorus, get to the hook, get to the meat right away.” – Alice Cooper.
Don and Dude continue honoring Casey Kasem with another Classic Casey Countdowns visit, this time to November 25, 1978, when disco, rock, and pop intertwined on the American Top 40. This episode highlights two albums behind that week's Top 10 hits, celebrating the sound of a Thanksgiving spent around radios and record players.Chic – C'est Chic (1978) New York studio pros Nile Rodgers and Bernard Edwards turned Chic into a precision-groove machine on their second LP, fusing disco, funk, and R&B into sleek, minimal arrangements that still feel luxurious. Driven by the monster hit “Le Freak,” the record balances party-starter anthems with emotionally rich cuts like “I Want Your Love,” showcasing airtight rhythm section work, tasteful strings, and a cool, upscale dancefloor vibe.Foreigner – Double Vision (1978) Fresh off their blockbuster debut, Foreigner sharpened their arena-rock formula on Double Vision, pairing Lou Gramm's powerhouse vocals with Mick Jones's riff-heavy guitar lines and radio-ready hooks. From the punchy opener “Hot Blooded” to the grinding title track and moodier deep cuts, the album captures a band refining its identity through tight songwriting, dramatic dynamics, and a polished yet muscular late 70s rock sound.Dude is Diggin':The Pretty Reckless – Taylor Momsen's Pretty Reckless Christmas (2025): A six-track holiday set where Taylor Momsen blends hard rock crunch with nostalgic seasonal moods, highlighted by a powerful new version of “Where Are You Christmas?”.Various Artists – Saturday Night Fever Original Movie Soundtrack (1977) (vinyl): A landmark disco document packed with Bee Gees smashes and club classics, perfectly channeling the sweaty, cinematic pulse of the late 70s dancefloor.Don is Diggin':Magic Wands – Cascades (2025): Dreamy, guitar-and-synth-driven pop steeped in gothic and new wave textures, full of shimmering atmospheres and mystical, nocturnal imagery.Vince Gill – 50 Years From Home: Secondhand Smoke (2025): Reflective country storytelling that blends personal memories with social themes, delivered in Gill's warm tenor and supported by a cast of Nashville collaborators.Follow the show on Instagram, Facebook, Threads, and Bluesky @albumnerds, and support by subscribing, rating, reviewing, and sharing. “Keep your feet on the ground and keep reaching for the stars.” – Casey Kasem
Don and Dude keep celebrating Casey Kasem's legacy, spotlighting the warm spirit of Casey's Top 40. This episode visits the week of November 16, 1991, when radio united pop, rock, and R&B in a dynamic mix. Each host picks an album tied to a defining Top 10 single, featuring two records that shaped early '90s airwaves and capture the era's bold musical shift.Prince & The New Power Generation – Diamonds and Pearls (1991) Minneapolis visionary Prince shook up the game by fusing funk, new jack swing, R&B, and pop with his New Power Generation band. The album features the chart-topping hit "Cream," a sly, empowering funk groove that became Prince's last solo Number One. From the album's spiritual opening track “Thunder” to the lush balladry of “Diamonds and Pearls” and the epic closer “Live 4 Love,” Prince's thirteenth LP marks a creative rebirth and mainstream resurgence. The production mixes real-deal musicianship with slick digital edges and gospel-fired harmonies. Critics and fans alike see it as a dazzling crossroads, where Prince blended past genius with '90s modernity.Guns N' Roses – Use Your Illusion I (1991) Axl Rose, Slash, and crew upped the ante with a sprawling double-album era, but Use Your Illusion I is where their ambition truly went wild. Kicking off with the menacing “Right Next Door to Hell” and dialing up the drama with power ballad “Don't Cry,” the album explores everything from punk-riff rage to epic piano pop. “November Rain,” a nearly nine-minute symphonic epic, ranks among MTV's most iconic video moments. Meanwhile, “Coma” finishes the set with a genre-bending, ten-minute odyssey. The record's sound is both raw and over-the-top, capturing a band teetering between chaos and brilliance, a defining entry in hard rock's history.Dude is Diggin':Colter Wall – Memories and Empties (2025): Rugged, western country storytelling from a baritone master, full of 1970s honkytonk vibes.Skid Row – Slave to the Grind (1991) (vinyl): Gritty, heavy riffs and soaring metal vocals define this Billboard-topping classic.Don is Diggin':Mavis Staples – Sad and Beautiful World (2025): Soul rooted in seven decades, with powerful collaborations and timely social gospel.The Mountain Goats – Through This Fire Across from Peter Balkan (2025): Indie folk storytelling set on the high seas, with dreamlike production and striking guest artists.Follow us on Instagram, Facebook, Threads, and Bluesky @albumnerds.

Don and Dude continue their celebration of Casey Kasem and the enduring legacy of American Top 40. For this installment of Classic Casey Countdowns, the guys turn the dial back to the week of November 10, 1984, a neon-saturated era when pop, soul, and MTV all collided. Two albums from that chart dominate the discussion, both tied to unforgettable Top 10 singles that defined mid‑Eighty's radio magic.Billy Ocean – Suddenly (1984) The Trinidad‑born singer's breakthrough LP fused R&B, post‑disco, and pop into a sleek, heartfelt package. Produced by Keith Diamond, the record launched Ocean into global stardom with “Caribbean Queen (No More Love on the Run)”—the #1 hit that ruled both the Hot 100 and soul charts. Ocean's smooth tenor, vibrant sax hooks, and narrative flair set the tone for an album balancing dance‑floor confidence (“Loverboy”) and tenderness (“Suddenly”). Musical craftsmanship, rich production, and emotional sincerity make this a quintessential 1984 crossover.Wham! – Make It Big (1984) Recorded mainly in France and crafted by George Michael, this pop‑soul phenomenon redefined chart‑topping polish. “Wake Me Up Before You Go‑Go” kicked off Wham!'s four‑for‑four streak of U.S. #1 singles, pairing Motown bounce with pure 80s exuberance. Deeper cuts like “Everything She Wants” and “Careless Whisper” showcase lyrical weight beneath the brightness—proof of Michael's emerging genius as writer, producer, and arranger. It's colorful, confident, and irresistibly hook‑laden pop that still resonates decades later.Dude is Diggin":Whiskey Myers – Whomp Whack Thunder (2025)Pearl Jam – Vs.

Five-O contends with a clever killer recreating solved murders in "I'll Kill 'em Again" and then take on a deadly fencing operation in "Pay Now- Steal Later". It's Casey Kasem in some incredible sport jackets and Ray Danton shirtless. The best of both worlds. Minor trigger warning for suicide for "I'll Kill 'em Again" if you watch the episode. I don't mention it in the discussion.

He was the voice of a generation — and then another after that. From Detroit to Hollywood, from Shaggy in Scooby-Doo to the warm sign-off of American Top 40, Casey Kasem shaped how America listened to music. But behind the smooth delivery were battles with perfectionism, family turmoil, and a tragic decline that ended in lawsuits and headlines as surreal as any radio outtake. In this episode, we trace the full life, career, death, and fallout of Casey Kasem — the man who told us to keep our feet on the ground and keep reaching for the stars.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
Are you really into Astrology or Numerology? Do you ever wonder about the numerology of the names of certain things like streets or businesses? And do you ever think about the astrology of certain days and if that makes them a good day to start a project or finish a certain task? Yeah, well so do we! It is one of our favorite rabbit holes. So in this episode we dive ALL the way in. Chandra looks into the numerology of our names; the name of the show (Ohm-g Podcast) and the cheeky name we use to loving refer to us 4 crazy witches (Woo Crew) Camille pulls out all the planetary stops and runs our chart based on the date our first episode aired. And Chandra finishes up by creating a numerology blueprint based on that same “birth date” Spoiler alert…. We're a ruling 7 (intuition & gut instinct) and we have a Scorpio stellium. I guess you didn't have to be particularly intuitive to see that coming. Take a listen to the full episode to get all the tea on why we might just be the perfect balance of grounded and astral.

We travel to the Mississippi Delta and the world of Lebanese immigrants, where barbecue and the blues meet kibbe, a kind of traditional Lebanese raw meatloaf. Lebanese immigrants began arriving in the Delta in the late 1800s, soon after the Civil War. Many worked as peddlers, then grocers and restaurateurs.Kibbe — a word and a recipe with so many variations. Ground lamb or beef mixed with bulgur wheat, cinnamon, salt and pepper. Many love it raw. However it's made, it's part of the glue that holds the Lebanese family culture together in the Mississippi Delta and beyond.We visit Pat Davis, owner of Abe's BAR-B-Q at the intersection of Highway 61 and 49 in Clarksdale, Mississippi, the famed crossroads where, legend has it, blues icon Robert Johnson made a deal with the devil to play guitar better than anybody. Since 1924 Abe's has been known for it's barbecue, but if you know to ask, they've got grape leaves in the back.Chafik Chamoun, who owns Chamoun's Rest Haven on Highway 61, features Southern, Lebanese and Italian food — but he's best known for his Kibbe. Chafik arrived in Clarksdale from Lebanon in 1954, and first worked as a peddler selling ladies slips and nylon stockings.Sammy Ray, Professor Emeritus at Texas A&M University, Galveston, talks about growing up in a barbecue shack that his mother ran on the edge of what was then called “Black Town.” His father peddled dry goods to the Black sharecroppers.During the civil rights movement in the 1960s, Abe's BAR-B-Q and Chamoun's Rest Haven were some of the only restaurants in the area that would serve Black people. “We were tested in 1965,” Pat Davis remembers. “A bunch of Black kids went to all the restaurants on the highway and every one refused them except Chamoun's and my place. And everybody else got lawsuits against them.”The list of famous Lebanese Americans is long and impressive. Ralph Nader, Paul Anka, Dick Dale, Casey Kasem, Khalil Gibran and Vince Vaughn, to name a few. But the one most people talked about on our trip was Danny Thomas. Pat Davis took us out in the parking lot to listen to a CD that he just happened to have in his car of Danny Thomas singing in Arabic.“We called ourselves Syrians when we first came here,” Davis says. “And until Danny came and said he was Lebanese then we all began to realize we really are Lebanese and Danny Thomas can say it. So we're Lebanese now.”Produced by The Kitchen Sisters (Davia Nelson & Nikki Silva), mixed by Jim McKee, for the James Beard Award winning Hidden Kitchens series on NPR.The Kitchen Sisters Present is produced by The Kitchen Sisters with Nathan Dalton and Brandi Howell.

This week, Rob and Dave are throwing caution (and their notes) to the wind as they go live on Totally 80's and 90's Recall for a wild ride through the Billboard charts of the 1980s! That's right—no scripts, no prep, just two dudes, a mic, and a time-traveling love affair with the greatest decade in music history. For this live episode, they'll spin the wheel (okay, probably just pick randomly) to choose a year, then dive headfirst into the hits, the misses, and the glorious one-hit wonders that defined it. Expect spontaneous singalongs, deep-cut debates, and Rob pulling out obscure trivia like he's got Casey Kasem on speed dial. From 1981's synth-soaked anthems to 1987's hair-metal dominance, Rob and Dave will relive the magic and madness of each chart-topping year, all while listeners join in on the fun in real time. Will they agree on the best track of '84? Will Rob finally admit that Steve Winwood is the Beast? Will Dave go on a five-minute rant about how overrated U2 is? There's only one way to find out—tune in, jump in the chat, and relive the 80s like you're back in your bedroom recording songs off the radio.

This week we kick off a wonderful summer. Whether you catch the next plane to London, or take a cruise on the sea of love, in the summertime it's time to string up those party lights. This week Casey Kasem proves he's got the wholeworld in his hands as he counts down the Watermark Productions special list of the Top 40 Disappearing Acts of the Rock Era from July 7, 1973.

In this episode, we're joined by the wonderfully multi-talented Laura Lee, author of Saturn's Favorite Music. Laura's creative path has been as eclectic as her writing: she's the author of 21 books across biography, humorous reference, fiction, and children's literature, and has worked as a professional mime, improvisational comic, and radio announcer. These days, she splits her time between writing and traveling with ballet master class tours alongside her partner, artistic director of the Russian Ballet Foundation. Described by the San Francisco Chronicle as having “a dry, humorous tone” that makes her a “charming companion,” Laura brings warmth and wit to our conversation about her latest novel. About the Book Saturn's Favorite Music takes us back to the summer of 1992, following Clara Jane, an alternative music-loving broadcast graduate starting her first radio job at a small station in northern Michigan. While dreaming of rock-star radio fame, Clara navigates quirky small-town life, morning show banter, and the looming threat of automation replacing the human touch in broadcasting. Brimming with 90s nostalgia, the novel explores music, friendship, and how technology changes creative careers and relationships—a theme that's as timely today as ever. “Saturn's Favorite Music is a fun voyage back to the days of analog radio with all of its skipping records and clashing egos… highly relevant in the age of AI.” In This Episode
As technology continues to evolve, there are many jobs, careers, professions that slowly shrink in popularity and necessity, in some cases, become completely obsolete. Today's generation may never know that some of these occupations even existed, much less played such important roles in our culture. Such is the plight of the first talk show host/talent discoverer/podcast host… who, when all mixed together, would give you the… disc jockey. The radio pioneers who became synonymous with late night job shifts, long family road trips, or impromptu dance parties. For this co-host it was the iconic Casey Kasem. I can, to this day, still hear his voice as he did his weekly countdown of top hits each Saturday. But who paved the way for legends like him? Today's profile episode explores the life and times of one of radio's first and most influential voices of the radio waves; whose impact extended from behind the microphone and into movies and television. The DJ whose name and voice continue to inspire today, with the hosts who proudly stand on the shoulders of the innovators who came before them.

This week on America's Podcast, we dive into the self-titled debut of Blue Murder—an album packed with enough guitar wizardry to make even your air guitar feel inadequate. But does it still rock as hard as its reputation, or is it just another relic of hairspray-fueled excess? No spoilers, but let's just say we have thoughts. We also take a moment to honor the late, great John Sykes, a guitar hero who shredded his way into rock history. His influence is undeniable, but does this album showcase his finest work? Tune in to find out! And of course, our Tracks of the Week bring the heat: Mooger channels the energy of Dreamstate's "Dayseeker." Marc gets nostalgic with Whitesnake's "Bad Boys." Jerry introduces us to Blueburst's "Vanish." Until next time, as Casey Kasem used to say—Keep your feet on the ground, and keep reaching for the stars (and maybe a good distortion pedal while you're at it! #bluemurder #johnsykes #rockpodcast
Send us a textTop o' the trolling to ya! In this special Saint Patrick's Day edition of Jackalope Tales, Lisa and Charles raise a pint (of something strong) to two bands who dared to mess with Ireland's most self-serious frontman—Bono of U2. First, we dive into the legendary case of Negativland, the experimental sound collagists who poked the bear by releasing an album titled U2—complete with a bootlegged Casey Kasem meltdown—and found themselves buried in legal hell faster than you can say “cease and desist.” Then, we unravel the bizarre fate of The Midnight Suns, an upstart rock band who thought it'd be funny to stage an elaborate prank on Bono—only to end up facing unexpected consequences that not even The Edge could have predicted.Did these bands push the boundaries of parody, or did they simply learn the hard way that some Irish icons don't have a sense of humor? Pour yourself a Guinness (or something legally safer) and join us as we break down the wildest cases of Bono-provoked chaos.Support the showBecome a J-Lope and follow us on social media.

Rainy night/ car interior—There are two 80s songs that are my absolute nemesis. Songs dealt to me over the radio by guys like Casey Kasem and Rick Dees on our way to or back from church. (How Rick Dees survived the 90s and early aughts onslaught of “nuts” hurled at his name is beyond me).Two songs appear in my head regularly and must be sung aloud to satisfy a tic.“On the Wings of Love,” by Jeffrey Osborne inexplicably (I didn't own the album) appears in my head daily. I only ever heard the song sandwiched between copy or commercials on Sunday mornings in 1982. I'm not sure “On the Wings of Love” ever peaked any top tens. Yet if my life were to be played off in my willing and unwilling musical obsessions, “On the Wings of Love” would be #1. Sigh.Number two is “I Love a Rainy Night,” and that ***** hit #1 on those important top musical charts that I'm just realizing I have no idea how they're measured. Okay, I'm looking at Billboard Hot 100 on Wikipedia and it says “rankings are based on sales (physical and digital), online streaming, and radio airplay in the U.S.” I feel like that could be juiced on the streaming and radio side to tilt numbers, right? Actually why am I conspiracy-ing this I have no idea what I'm talking about and who cares.Why wouldn't “I Love a Rainy Night” appear in my head every time it is both raining and nighttime? The song is literally about loving a crying night sky. And it's snappy af.I, too, love a rainy night.
Description: In this thought-provoking conversation, Jen and Amy speak with “poet laureate of the ordinary” Kelly Corrrigan about the valuable lessons from life she's reflecting on in this season: the significance of saying hard things, the power of listening and understanding in relationships, observations from parenting and from a career as a writer, podcaster and storyteller, and the importance of participating in democracy, regardless of who is in power. In this episode, which was recorded on Election Day 2024 (prior to knowing the outcome) Kelly uses her trademark wit and steadfast wisdom to offer listeners evergreen words of encouragement for our political landscape and for our lives in whole.

Episode 308 - A Long Distance Dedication, Shedding A Tear For Snuggles RUNDOWN Mitch and Hotshot Scott, travel through Grand Island, Nebraska, the birthplace of Henry Fonda and home to the Nebraska State Fair. From "On Golden Pond" and TV personality Dick Cavett, to "American Top 40," the guys reminisce on some true icons such as Casey Kasem. The Seattle Seahawks' recent performance against the Atlanta Falcons 34-14 takes them to first place in the NFC West. Highlights include Gino Smith's performance and his ability to evade pressure and make key plays. Diving deeper into the Seahawks Falcons blowout, Mitch, Jacson, and Brady discuss the improved performance of the Seahawks' defense, which held the Falcons to just 14 points despite allowing over 150 yards rushing and struggling with tackling, especially against Falcons' running back Bijan Robinson. The Seahawks' defense also created key turnovers, including a game-changing strip sack and defensive touchdown. Mitch and CBS College Football Analyst Rick Neuheisel discuss Alabama's struggles, though Rick maintains his confidence in their ability to reach the SEC Championship game, acknowledging they'll need to avoid turnovers and rely on defensive leadership. He also addresses Texas's recent loss, suggesting they need to prove themselves after facing tougher competition. The conversation shifts to officiating, with Rick expressing frustration over inconsistent calls and advocating for a centralized officiating system for college football. Rick also comments on the Army-Navy rivalry, noting the possibility of the teams playing back-to-back in the AAC Championship and then the Army-Navy game, which he finds unusual. Mitch and Christian Capel discuss the University of Washington Huskies' football season under Coach Jedd Fisch, focusing on their 4-3 record. The conversation touches on Fisch's coaching style, which Christian describes as more professional and NFL-like compared to former coach Kalen DeBoer. They also address Fisch's open comments on NIL deals and the financial disparities between schools like Ohio State, Oregon, and others.
