Round the ‘Block: 9/14

Not a bad effort on my part – I guess. Still working the kinks out of the show. Thanks to everyone who tuned in. If you missed anything last night, never fear, podcasts below!

My Five Cents

It’s been interesting trying to balance a more music-heavy show. Long-time listeners have already started flooding my inbox with questions. I got a message from Eric Bartz complaining about the eight minutes of talk for every 20 minutes of music.

Heck, even I’m complaining about that.

Honestly though, Week Three was probably the best show to date. Jake Paque rolled through the show and waxed intellectual about the business side of college athletics, I tackled a Wisconsin street musician who tackled a passer-by that criticized his skills and talked “S” about management at WJPZ.

Of course, it would have been better had Colt Murray showed up. I got a call at roughly 12:45am letting me know he couldn’t make it on.

Thanks Colt.

Actually, it’s all good. Turns out it was probably better in the long run. It gave me a chance to clown my General Manager, Alex Brewer, during, not one, but TWO segments.

And Brewer, who was still at the station, took it all in stride. Props to him.

Found fantastic footage of one of our writers, Mike Lederer. Tracked down something you may be familiar with by Jon Wiener. And Bongo Jesus. That’s right, Bongo Jesus. See below.
