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.

Episode #20: A One Hit Wonder -- and an interview with one of Gordon McLendon's "Magnificent Seven".

This episode is part 1 of our interview with Stan Webb, one of Gordon McLendon's "Magnificent Seven". Hear how history was made with this tremendous organization, at the beginning of what some call the true "golden" age of radio. Born in Cisco, Texas, Stan is probably the only person ever, to be named a National Sales Manager before he ever made a single sales call. And, after being chosen from over 5,000 resumes, he says he's a "lucky, lucky guy." Hope you enjoy his story.
