Thanks for this link! It's been great so far.

I have to consider myself lucky that, while I never did any air work for Riff, I was fortunate to have worked with all of them. It's good to hear their voices again. To have been in the same air studio as jocks like JJ and Karen Savelly and Ken Calvert, I couldn't have asked to have been shown the ropes by some excellent Detroit jocks.

I love hearing a historical lesson of what radio and rock radio was like back then and how Riff came up. Karen really hit the nail on the head about not bothering to start a career in radio these days. It's useless. Better off flipping burgers now. But I have to give credit for this podcast, it's really enjoyable.

I just started to binge through these. In the Peter Werbe episode, the woman's name he couldn't remember was Sheila Rushlow. He also mentioned Mike Watson, but I'm pretty sure he meant Michael Collins.

Is there going to be an episode on Nick Demos or one where he is mentioned?
