Season's Greetings, on this episode of CSWL, we cover the 1980's sitcom 'WKRP in Cincinnati 'and its famed Thanksgiving Day special. You don't need to be a WKRP fan or even have seen the episode in question. You just need to tolerate Kev hosting with Covid and brain fog. Still, we discuss everything from how this show and episode was based on true life and what life working at radio stations was like back in the day (and how that life no longer exists). We also cover how the Thanksgiving episode saved the fledgling series, why this episode frequently ranks in the all-time top 100 and how the one original line at the end created a saying we all use today. Gen Z surprisingly found little to be offended over, too, as the march to the greatest holiday continues! Comments? Suggestions?

A strange but true story (and alleged ghost story) involving murdered Sal Mineo and Gary Sandy aka Travis from WKRP Richard Sanders aka Less Nessman studying news commentary from the Hindenburg crash to prep for the role. Howard Hessman aka Johnny Fever as the perfect burnout DJ of the era. Frank Bonner aka Herb's last-minute improv.

It's Johnny Madrid himself, James Stacy. We'll take a deep dive into his career just like Gordon Jump tried to take a deep dive into Arnold and Dudley! We'll also touch on fun topics like amputation, Sean Astin's multiple fathers, the Nelson Twins, Ron Rifkin complimenting my wife, and how Mr. Tarantino took some liberties with his version of the Lancer pilot.
WE INTERVIEWED GARY SANDY!!What would be the absolute best possible way to cap off our series re-watch of WKRP? Oh, maybe talking to Andy Travis himself!! We talked to the incredible Gary Sandy! Don't miss this fun and fascinating conversation with the man who took WKRP from Easy Listening wasteland to the Rock-n-Roll Promised Land. Gary shares great stories from the set, and from his extensive stage career. He gets a few 'wig bubbles', checks in with 'the Killer', and tells us about the coolest thing he nabbed from the show. Don't touch that dial, fellow babies...we're talking to the P.D. and he wants you to play THE HITS!!Hey Fellow Babies!! We talked to Gary Sandy. Don't miss our exclusive interview with Andy Travis himself, dropping on Sept. 27th, 2022.
WELCOME BACK!!This is it, Fellow Babies. Welcome to the FINAL network first-run airing of WKRP. This episode, "The Impossible Dream" had been shelved by the network in the spring of 1982. Now, with a breakout hit on their hands, the network decided to play this never-before-seen episode well into the fall season...the season AFTER WKRP had been cancelled. It's Les's birthday. The passing of another year has spurred the News Beacon of the Ohio Valley to strive for more in his career. That, and his mother is in town. Les suddenly starts pulling awards off the wall and announces he's headed to New York to take Dan Rather's news-chair. Jennifer reacts to the birthday and mother-visit news with the same answer: Party Time! She plans a surprise birthday party for Les. For some reason, the guest of honor shows up way early. He's there before any of the other guests! He arrives without his mother and tells Jennifer he hates it for anyone to know about his birthday.Ms. Marlowe could not be having a worse day. Triple vodkas all around!!At the party, Les debuts his on-camera demo tape. It's beyond bad. Les realizes he's made a fool of himself and runs out. Will Les go to New York? Will we meet Les's mother? Will we shudder just a little bit at the overwhelming cringiness of the final three minutes? Spoilers!! The answers would be: no, yes and yes. Let's join Lester in tilting at some windmills during this FINAL WKRP episode!! Moo-goo, anyone??WATCH ALONG DETAILS...[Want to watch along with us? It's a blast!! We highly recommend the 'Shout Factory' boxed DVD set of the entire WKRP series. For reasons you'll have to listen to in the "Prolog" episode, all streaming versions of the original "WKRP in Cincinnati" have had the original music cues removed. Generic music beds and stings were used in place of the original music for the syndicated version of the series. 'Shout Factory' has been able to restore an estimated 85% of all WKRP music cues to the original "as-aired" content for their DVD release. They've also restored scenes that had been cut to shorten episodes for syndication. The original eps ran 25 minutes. The syndication eps were shortened to 22 minutes.

Don't miss our exclusive interview with Andy Travis himself, dropping on Sept. 27th, 2022.
"WKRP in Cincinnati" premiered this week in 1978 on CBS-TV, airing for four seasons and 90 episodes. My late friend Terry Moore sat down with Gordon and his wife Anna in 1981 for this CKNW interview. The show, created by Hugh Wilson, featured the staff of a struggling radio station and was based on his experiences in sales at WQXI/Atlanta. New program director Andy Travis switches WKRP's format from easy-listening music to rock with help from deejays Dr. Johnny Fever and Venus Flytrap, station manager Arthur Carlson, sales manager Herb Tarlek, news director Les Nessman, receptionist Jennifer Marlowe and producer Bailey Quarters. Gordon reflects on his broadcast background and the inspiration for his character; the strengths of the show's cast; the advantages of syndication; he and Anna discuss how success has changed their lives; the truth behind Hollywood's "Tinseltown" myth; the importance of good management; and how they spend their free time. Arthur "Big Guy" Carlson was Gordon's signature role, and he starred in a short-lived revival of the show, "The New WKRP in Cincinnati" which ran in syndication from 1991 to 1993. He also appeared in the final season of Seinfeld, in which he played George Costanza's boss at a playground equipment company. You probably also remember when he took over the Maytag repairman role from Jesse White. Gordon Jump died at his home in Glendale, CA on September 22, 2003. He was 71.
WELCOME BACK!!We launched our first episode on Sept. 1st of 2020. At the time we casually thought, "yeah, this'll take about two years." It seemed so far off! Amazingly, it's here. We've been through 89 of the 90 syndicated episodes of WKRP. We've unearthed new and exciting WKRP trivia! We've talked to more than 20 WKRP guest stars, writers and producers. We've had some big laughs! It's been a blast connecting with WKRP fans from around the world. We have ONE regular episode to go...but not until NEXT week! THIS week, we're talking to two of our most frequent podcast contributors. We hear from Canadian 'blogger Roy Penney and the man who we've dubbed "The Accountant of Rock", Mr. Michael Hernandez.These guys live and breathe WKRP. They've been a huge resource for us as we prepare the show each week. It was fun getting to know both of them. They've got some great insights into the show! Check it out. Then...next week...September 20th...it will be time (sniff, sniff) for our final episode!! (ON the 40th Anniversary of the Final Episode!)After that...stay tuned, Fellow Babies! We might have a HUGE INTERVIEW coming your way to cap off the series. We don't want to jinx it, so no announcements until everything is in the can. So, what are you waiting for??

WELCOME BACK!!Hey, Fellow Babies!! Amazingly, we just passed our second anniversary since dropping the "Prolog" episode on 9/1/20. Two Big Years of the WKRP-Cast!! Since it's Labor Day in the United States, we are taking off this weekend. No new episode, but we DO have a new interview for you. After about a year of pursuit, we finally caught up to Stacy Heather Tolkin. She played "Bunny Tarlek" in both the "Real Families" and "Frog Story" episodes. Although she was only seven at the time, Stacy has some great memories of working on the show. We talk to Stacy for about half an hour. Since she mentioned "Frog Story" several times, it seemed like the perfect add-on. So, enjoy a re-run of our episode about "Frog Story" following Stacy's interview.We're counting down to the end!! We will be running our final "episode" version of the podcast on 9/20.

WELCOME BACK!!This roll of film had fifty pictures of a black guy in a tux holding a bottle of shampoo...and ONE picture of a dorky white guy at a bar-b-que grill. Guess which one the printer chose? Would your answer change if you knew the photographer was Herb Tarlek?In a career marked by colossal screw-ups, this is one colossal screw-up. Herb's new client "Soul Suds" went the full multi-media promo route. They're utilizing point of purchase display stand-ups featuring WKRP's own Venus Flytrap. Venus is right there at the store shelf promoting the same shampoo he's pitching on the radio. He's in a tux, his hair is looking awesome and he's holding the product. It's coordinated marketing synergy on an unprecedented level! And HERB is running the show!! What could go wrong?Oh, just the pesky printer mentioned above. Herb told them they should figure anything he said was wrong. They listened to him on this one...the fools. Now Herb is cooking up burgers in convenience and grocery stores all over town while claiming to be a laid-back Venus Flytrap. We can't even see what his hair looks like because he's wearing a HAT!! This might be all she wrote for Herb. Unless a gorgeous blonde temptress can be found to inspire the client to forgive poor Mr. Tarlek. If only we knew a gorgeous blonde temptress...Jennifer, surprisingly, steps up.It's a tale of blind...or possibly blonde...ambition, dueling receptionists, deceptive salesmen and the most perceptive CEO Jennifer has ever met. This time beauty is in the ear of the beholder, and a good thing for Herb.Strap in, fellow babies. It's time to push 'play' and lather up. We're gonna take a ride on the "Soul Suds" train with "To Err is Human" our next to last episode of THE SERIES. WATCH ALONG DETAILS...[Want to watch along with us? It's a blast!!

Ummm...huh?Mrs. Carlson has reached out to Fargo, N.D. in search of...what? A replacement for Les? No, when Andy confronts her, she says Les still has a job. Turns out, Mr. Travis might be the one looking for work. Mama intends to turn the whole rockin' shootin' match into a respectable "All News" station. Will Mama get her way? Will Andy be heading out "town to town...up and down the dial"? Surely not! Then again, WKRP the TV show hasn't been doing nearly as well as WKRP the radio station when it comes to ratings.

WELCOME BACK!!We're 87 episodes into the series and Mr. Blake Hunter has decided we really need to clarify a few things that came before...like stuff that happened during the PILOT!It's time to corral all those things we've heard about Venus over the last four years and explain how it could all happen to one man. We know him as military deserter...accomplished teacher...hottest nighttime deejay in NOLA...how was he able to pull it all off and he's not 63 years old??We discover a few things in Venus' past have been...fudged. Okay, so maybe Mr. Travis outright lied about a couple of things, but all in the name of good radio, right??Mama Carlson doesn't think so. She's dropped by the station one evening to meet with Arthur. He's late. She is walking through the station as Andy and Venus are involved in some serious horseplay.Mama winds up getting tackled in the midst of all the goofing around. In exchange for her forgiveness, she forces Andy and Venus to tell us the TRUE story of Mr. Venus Flytrap and his "biggest" audience in The Big Easy.Sit back, Fellow Babies...the episode was only 25 minutes, but they jammed so MUCH into it!! We've got a Max question, a comment from Tim Reid and a TON of new info about this old episode. We go for nearly an hour and a half...but don't worry, it'll flytrap right by!!

WELCOME BACK!!Les is a consummate newsman...when the news is farm related. As Johnny says, Les's stories have that unmistakable 'barnyard aroma.' Andy has an assignment for the News Beacon of the Ohio Valley. Mrs. Carlson is a big supporter of a local children's hospital. The Hospital is in dire need of community support. Andy hands Les the info and tells him to go down there and do a story on it. Now. Les, in an inspired bit of delegation, hands the story to Bailey. Truth be told (which doesn't happen a lot in this episode) Les would much rather be working on saving the endangered Rutabaga (yeah, you'll have to talk to Lester about that one).Bailey goes to the Hospital. After being battered around a bit by the administrator, she's finally given a tour. Upon her return to the station, Bailey writes a beautiful, heart-string tugging story about her experience. Too bad it's all a lie.Les doesn't know it's a lie, so he's more than happy to read Bailey's story on the air...after a threat from Andy.Suddenly people are afraid of losing their jobs, the station is in fear of losing its license...this is AWFUL!!Three minutes later, everything's fine. To find out exactly HOW everything could turn out so well...you're going to have to watch! Or, better yet, why don't you LISTEN!? We've got all the answers this week...even if very few of them are true.Oh, and as a bonus, we've got a five minute-plus report on the Whoopee Cushion! And we're not the least bit sorry about it!!

WELCOME BACK!!There's a Fire in the Flimm Building!! Alliteration loving Les is happy to hear it's on the FIFTH floor! The gang was just leaving for the day as the conflagration broke out.Herb and Jennifer made it on the elevator. They walked right past Johnny who was coming in for work...ummm...yeah, you'll need to ask Johnny about this one.Herb and Jennie-poo wind up trapped between the 8th and 9th floors...the rest of the gang is stuck on 14.Johnny decides, since he's got 12 hours to kill, he might as well plunge into the jaws of death...or something like that. He rides a firehose down into the elevator shaft in order to save Jennifer, Herb and the stranded car.If this is sounding less like an episode of WKRP and more like an Irwin Allen disaster film...you'd be right! It's one of the most ambitious episodes of the series, and the last for Director Will Mackenzie.

WELCOME BACK!!Venus snuck a girl past the night guard. Okay, so this is not unusual for Venus. What's different this time? The girl is using Venus as cover so she can engineer a robbery at a Wholesale Jeweler elsewhere in the Flimm Building. Sounds like "Law and Order: WKRP", right? It kind of is! The fuzz shows up in the bullpen and Venus is hauled downtown in cuffs. Johnny, in disguise, visits the jailbird. His fake beard had to sign the visitor's log separately.We spend a lot of time in a courtroom and Venus might GO TO PRISON!! The whole gang is enlisted to act as character witnesses. Max Wright returns as fearless Carlson Enterprises attorney Frank Bartman. It looks bad for Venus. He might be in real trouble. In the end, a whole lot of prayer and a little bit of luck saves the day. Venus is returned to the station and you can hear about the whole thing by pushing "Play."

WELCOME BACK!!Jennifer says it at lunch with Herb (yeah, right there should tell you how crazy this one is!!): "Change is exciting, don't you think?"Maybe when it's happening to someone else, but the changes happening around the station are leaving everyone reeling. Herb is looking GOOD in a conservative grey suit. He's also spouting the supply-side doctrine of the new Reagan Administration. Who is this fellow in the nice-looking suit, and what have you done with our Herb??!!But Herb's threads are nothing compared to the outfit Venus assembles. Venus is being interviewed for "Black Life Magazine" about being a black deejay. Venus is worried he's been hanging out with all these white folks for so long, he's not as black as he should be! He blacks things WAY up with the "Root Suit by Monsanto" (ask Johnny).Tom Dreesen shows up playing the Black Life reporter (!) and WE TALK TO HIM!! Tom was kind enough to talk to us about his early days with Tim Reid, his time on WKRP and a whole host of other topics.We're SUPERSIZED! We almost touched the 90-minute mark on this one. If you normally listen to us on the way to work, this week we'll get you there and BACK!! So, depending on how you look at it...enjoy!...or, sorry for being so long-winded! With two great storylines AND Tom Dreesen, there was no way this one wasn't going to run long!Don't miss this fantastic episode, fellow babies!

WELCOME BACK!!Amphetamines were outlawed in 1970. It was a Tricky Dick move. He made amphetamines a very-illegal Schedule Two drug. No more bottles of "mother's little helper" available over the counter.By the late 1970s, some intrepid manufacturers of 'diet pills' were concocting concentrated formulations of caffeine, ephedrine and sometimes taurine. It was an attempt to legally create the amphetamine buzz that was so prized by speed-freaks in the '60s.Hundreds of milligrams of caffeine in a concentrated form will get you buzzing....it might even help you lose weight. It will ALSO keep you awake for finals. Hold on a minute...why are middle-aged ladies wanting to lose weight also taking H.S. finals?They aren't. The whole "trucker speed" craze of the '80s was primarily targeted to teens. You could buy all you wanted! They weren't 'real' amphetamines...so what was the harm?You may be wondering what this has to do with the Mighty 'KRP. Turns out Herb found a new advertiser. He was doing his job! He made a sale! Unfortunately, Herb's new buddy, Dave, is running a "weight loss clinic." He's really slinging legal, but very dangerous, 'pep' pills. They'll help you lose weight. They'll also help you pass out in gym class.Not a lot of laughs in this one, but it's a great message and well presented by the gang. Throw back a couple of Black Beauties and "FocusIn", fellow babies...it's time for "Pills."WATCH ALONG DETAILS...[Want to watch along with us? It's a blast!!

WELCOME BACK!!Hey, Fellow Babies!! We celebrated our 35th Wedding Anniversary on June 20th. Rather than spend the week working on a new show, we took the week off to celebrate! We didn't want to leave you completely high-and-dry, so we're re-running a romantic favorite: "Patter of Little Feet."We did cut a new intro. We've got a project in the works and we're needing your help. We've decided to do a "Misses and Messes" episode as a capper for the series. Those things we missed, and things we messed up. What have you heard? Go back and listen. Take notes! Big things we missed...or messed...send us the episode title and what we should either add or change. We'll gather them all together and talk about it at the end of the series in September.Hope your summer is going well!! Anniversary Congrats to any other Fellow Babies who might be celebrating the memory of their nuptials (since most weddings happen in the summer). Next week: "Pills".

WELCOME BACK!!Giant Lizzard ravages East Coast!! Les is at it again...a classic Nessman mess up. Once Les gets things sorted out with giant reptiles and winter storms, he tells us about a fire at the Vine Street Mission. Turns out, Dr. Fever is a big supporter of the Mission. He was on sight for a live report right after the fire...kinda.The kitchen at the Mission needs a new roof...to the tune of $40,000! For Johnny, and most mere mortals, this is a big pile of cash. For Ms. Jennifer Marlowe, this amount represents the equivalent of loose change in her friend's couch cushions. She invites them over for a night of appetizers, martinis and money. She also invites "the gang." She should have specified WHICH gang. Johnny brings a few friends from the mission. They meet Jennifer's friends and the party really heats up!You can't move the mission! Not even a foot! Especially not up into Price Hill...there's no bums up there! Although the rich folks want to help, they don't understand the intricacies of feeding the perpetually drunk. Johnny and his friends work to set them straight. Eventually, connections are made via exotic dancing and David Niven...or something like that.Grab a big, steaming bowl of Chicken Gumbo and join us for a night of Zombies, cheese puffs and big donations from some of Cincinnati's finest philanthropists.

WELCOME BACK!!Hey, Fellow Babies! We here at the WKRP-Cast have taken the week off for Memorial Day. Since this is an elaborate hobby and doesn't pay much of anything (aside from you Patrons...THANK YOU, Patrons!!) we figured we deserved a week off.But, we didn't want to leave you Fellow Babies hangin'! We wanted to get something new to you, only without putting in the 40+ hours involved in creating a regular episode (and, no exaggeration...more than 40 hours go into EVERY WKRP-Cast! Writing, researching, recording and editing...2 people x 20 hours each. See why you should be donating to Patreon? Patreon.com/WKRPCast. Come on! Join the cool kids!! Only $5 a month). Searching our archives, we realized we've been sitting on a new interview since February. We talked to Eileen Barnett (who played 'Arlene' in the Season 3 episode, "Ask Jennifer")! The problem: we didn't talk to her until after the episode aired. We didn't know what to do with this interview sitting here...then the lightning struck! How about we re-run "Ask Jennifer" only we INCLUDE the Eileen interview?? Have a safe and awesome Memorial Day, Fellow Babies! Enjoy the new stuff...and the re-run. Also, this summer you need to binge some WKRP-Cast! Pop in the earbuds before yard work...put us on the stereo for a long car ride. It's the perfect way to re-watch WKRP with your ears...and you might learn something, too!!WATCH ALONG DETAILS...[Want to watch along with us? It's a blast!!

WELCOME BACK!!Andy's good buddy, Norris Breeze, is in Cincinnati! What brings ol' Norris to town? That would be Mama Carlson. Norris has developed a coke habit so he needed a high paying job. He's now a "radio consultant" tasked with making every radio station sound the same from coast to coast.Norris has already been in town a couple of days, monitoring the Mighty 'KRP. Andy gulps hard and starts the wheels turning. How can he discredit "the Radio Doctor" from New York? Oh, Andy's not as 'aw-shucks' as you might think. He has a trick or two up his sleeve.He can't make them competent...but could he make them different? Andy hatches a plan. It involves the whole staff, but you might not recognize them once Andy's done.As Jennifer gets coffee for "Mr. Breezy" some guy in a good-looking suit is claiming to be Herb. This is the Flimm Building, right? Norris takes copious notes, while watching out for Venus and his knife. He can't wait to report it all back to Mama.When he does, Andy just sits quietly with a little grin on his face. Being from Santa Fe, this might not be Mr. Travis' first rodeo. Norris proceeds to describe a station Mama's never seen. Her son is...overworked? No, this is not the WKRP Mama knows. She realizes with a quiet grin how well she's been played.As Hirsch ushers Andy out, he's asking for even MORE money. Mama realizes this Mr. Travis is not one to be trifled with. Get in on the whole madcap experience!! Push "Play" now...Jennifer will have some coffee to you shortly. We think. WATCH ALONG DETAILS...[Want to watch along with us? It's a blast!!

WELCOME BACK!!Remember way back at the start of Season Four when the Phone Cops blew up the transmitter?? (Or, something like that...gotta stop listening to Johnny). Anyway, insurance said they'd replace the transmitter...at its current value. Its old, and usually broken, current value. Andy decides a Top Ten operation like WKRP should be heard on something nicer than Harris' best AM Transmitter from 1968. He decides the best way to get to the checkbook is around Art. Mama Carlson can authorize additional funds. Andy decides to meet with her...at a nice restaurant. Then again at the opera. He's meeting with her in the trendiest places all over town. Les, intrepid newsman that he is, blows the whistle on the whole sordid seeming-affair. Were Andy and Mrs. C. really an "item"? Are you INSANE?? When confronted with her possible indiscretions, Mama can only say it's what you 'do' with Employees. Besides, Andrew has nice hair.Will Andy get his new transmitter? Will Mama make a new life for herself in Los Angeles? Will Art get a chance to visit the Arboretum?

WELCOME BACK!!Jennifer is out on the town enjoying a posh meal at an upscale and trendy Cincinnati hotspot. Her companion is...elderly. Let's not kid ourselves...he's old! This is the Colonel. He seems to have held a special spot in Jennifer's life for a while now. Actually, if Steve Marshall and Hugh Wilson had gotten their way, he'd have been MARRIED to Jennifer right now. Dinner doesn't go well. The Colonel expires minutes before paying the whopper of a check.Is Jennifer a conniving gold digger? Or just a young lady in love with an older gentleman? Either way, she's Executrix of the Industrialist's estate. Meeting the family is a treat. Seeing the old man on video in the lawyer's office...even MORE of a treat!!We've got guest stars galore, a new lobby and a seminar from Andy on how NOT to comfort your friends.

WELCOME BACK!!Hmm...turns out saying "booger" on the air is NOT grounds for firing someone. Johnny had a year left on his contract and somebody decided to sue for it. Out of the blue, a settlement... minus his attorney's quite reasonable 51%...has shown up in Johnny's mailbox. Even with everybody's mitts on his money, Johnny is still walking away with a lump sum of $24,000.Art voices all of our concerns: "Good golly...Fever with money?" Johnny goes on a bender, meets some friends and buys some clothes. He also made some investments...like see-through soap! A long Harmonica!! (He might need some help with his choices...) Venus and the Gang convince the Good Dr. he should be investing what's left. He decides to plunk a bunch down on a condo at "Gone With the Wind Estates." It's a client of Herb's...so you know it's got to be good!The Estate is...nice...in a 'plantation' sort of way. Johnny hates it! No amount of cutesy street names can make up for his condo-hatred.Will Johnny get out of his purchase? Will Les get to see the pool? Will Jennifer convince Andy a Grandfather Clock is the perfect lobby accessory?Find out this week on the WKRP-Cast!!

WELCOME BACK!!Herb's in the Hospital being checked for potential ticker troubles. Whatever the doctor might tell him can't be as bad as the little item he finds in today's paper. Carlson confirms it! WKRP is interviewing sales people! It sounds long term!Back at the station, the cheap cologne brigade has assembled on Jennifer's doorstep. Andy, for some reason, is conducting the interviews in Art's office.Instead of causing Herb REAL ticker troubles, Jennifer says she'd like to give this Account Executive thing a go...at least for a couple of weeks.She and Art...who's filling in for Herb...head to the Coliseum and a meeting with Pat Perillo. Pat, it turns out, is a shady concert promoter and 'phone only' associate of Mr. Herbert R. Tarlek. The three meet in a questionable hallway somewhere in the Coliseum.

[For "Choose Your Own Adventure" Info, See Below...]Hey, Fellow Babies!! The Cincinnati trip was a huge success. We got back just a couple of hours before recording this episode. We had a great time, even if we are a little sore (we walked a LOT!). There's tons of info in this week's show about the trip!! A tip: check the show Facebook page. All you have to do is search "WKRP-Cast" in Facebook and you'll find us. We mention FB posts a LOT in today's show. If you haven't been following our Epic Adventure, you'll want to take a look at some of our posts. Much of the trip was pretty visual, and we did snap a LOT of pix.We also caught up with a couple of interesting guys who have had a LOT to do with WKRP over the years. The first was Bob Gerding. Bob is the local Video Pro who shot the opening and all of the exteriors whenever they needed something out in Studio City. Bob has some GREAT stories from working on the show. THEN we talked to the man who is the dean of Media Reporting in Cincinnati: John Kiesewetter or just "Kiese". Kiese wrote for the Cincinnati Enquirer starting just after WKRP went off network. He followed it through the syndication episodes with the lost music, hacked scenes and awful attempt at a DVD release in 2007. He's talked to every one of the show principles and written about them all multiple times over the years (except maybe Jan). Kiese took us on an incredible tour of Cincinnati looking at it through the lens of WKRP. We'll have full interviews with both of these guys plus a rundown of our four WKRP-Filled days in Cincinnati. Strap in, Fellow Babies...the Cincinnati tour is leaving as soon as you push "play." CHOOSE YOUR OWN ADVENTURE:Are you ONLY wanting to hear interviews? Only looking for our Cincy Travelogue? Either way, we've got you covered! - Bob Gerding Interview (30 total mins) - Starts at 24 minutes. FF to listen.- John Kiesewetter Interview (39 total mins) - Starts at 1h:04 minutes.- You can hear us being interviewed by Chris & Janeen at 2:00hours. If you're only wanting travelogue, FF past the interviews the specified times.
WELCOME BACK!!You made it back for Part 2! (a lot of people didn't in 1981). In case you need a refresher, we've got a Bomb threat!!Andy dispatched Venus and Johnny to the Transmitter Building in the middle of Part One. The guys are blowing off the dust and trying to keep some tunes on the WKRP Air. Things are...rough. The turntable doesn't want to play and the bookie doesn't want to talk. Wing, Johnny's Chinese Bookie and Restauranteur, put Johnny on hold just minutes before the biggest hunch bet of his life was at the post. 'Fever's Dream', an 80 to 1 long shot was screaming to Johnny for a bet. If only he can make it in time. When the horse came through...but the bookie didn't...Johnny takes his frustrations out on the phone. Three quick whacks with the big metal toolbox left Ma Bell's Magic Device in tiny shards of psychedelic spaghetti. At the end of last week's show, Andy realizes the bomb might be out at the transmitter instead of in the Flimm Building. But how do you contact the guys when the phone is in pieces on the floor? Call their cell?? Sorry, this is 1981. Put down that Toolbox and push "play"!! It's time for an EXPLOSIVE WKRP-Cast Conclusion!WATCH ALONG DETAILS...[Want to watch along with us? It's a blast!!

Joyce Armor, the woman who used to have Jennifer's job, has returned, The usual round of complaints about Johnny have arrived, Venus and Johnny are gambling in the Control Room and oh, yeah...there's a bomb threat.Bomb threat? Excuse me!!Andy says its normal for a newly popular station to get these kinds of things. Everyone would figure it's a hoax if it weren't for John Davidson having his show blown up over on Channel 73 in Dayton. Just to be safe, let's call the Bomb Squad and see if they can bring over some bomb sniffing dogs (oh, sorry...didn't mean to bring up a sore subject).

A SPECIAL INTERVIEW!! Hey there, Fellow Babies! If you're a fan of WKRP at all (and if you're listening to this podcast, we're guessing you are) you've probably seen the name "Max Tash" in the credits. It's the first name listed over the nighttime city shots when the "Went to a Bartender" closing theme begins. Picturing it in your head? Max was working for WKRP from before the beginning. He was an MTM "runner/gopher" on the production while casting was happening. He was production associate in the first season, Associate Producer in Seasons 2 and 3, then Coordinating Producer in the 4th Season. He was there for all 88 episodes...all the way through to "Up and Down the Dial." Only Hugh Wilson has his name in the credits of WKRP more times than Max Tash. Max was kept pretty busy with production duties, but during his tenure with WKRP, he did write a single episode. Max came up with the much-loved "Clean Up Radio Everywhere" episode featuring Dr. Bob Halyer (Hallier? Halyers?), the Jerry Falwell-like preacher who is ready to clean up Cincinnati radio.Max has been a friend of the podcast since our first few weeks. Via e-mail, he's supplied us with some great details as we've been working our way through the episodes. Max was happy to answer e-mail questions but, although we've asked a few times, Max has never agreed to speak with us for an interview. When we told him we just HAD to have his comments about "CURE" he said, "oh, okay."So get ready fellow babies...Heeeeere's Max! We talked to Max for more than an hour...and barely scratched the surface of the millions of stories he has tucked away. He is a wealth of knowledge about the show, about Hugh Wilson...about everything WKRP! We hope we can talk Max into another session with us at the end of the series. Either way, here is the incredible Max Tash, with information about "CURE", "The Famous Teddy Z", "Frank's Place", The Pussy Cat Theater (!) and a WHOLE lot more. The WKRP-Cast is headed to Cincinnati!!We've been wanting to go for a long time, but schedules just have not allowed it. We are finally able to visit the Queen City and we're doing it during one of the most incredible weeks of Cinci's year! We'll be there from March 29th through April 3rd of 2022. Opening Day is March 31st AND WE'VE GOT TICKETS!! (if, of course, there's baseball...)If you'd like to join us, check our FB Page for Event Details.
