Radio - What Happened?
A look at the rise and fall of commercial radio, seen from the eyes of two baby boomers. Terry Bettis and Jim Christoferson both worked in local radio for years, in small to large markets. Their experience allows others to see what they see -- a virtual WKRP in every market across the country. Personalities, promotions, formats, actual air checks of the nation's top radio stations of the last 60 years -- all facets are talked about, listened to, and discussed in this weekly podcast.

This week's guest is Hall of Fame announcer, Rudy "Fearless" Fernandez from Abilene, Texas. He's been on the same station for 45 years, and continues to entertain his audience daily. And he's done some crazy stunts to raise money for local charities - like staying in a block of ice for 48 hours - or riding a Ferris wheel for 5 days!!!! Plus, we've got an aircheck of the great Fred Winston of WLS, Chicago.
