For Chris, that voice belongs to Laurie DeYoung, who has been waking up Baltimore for 35 years on her award-winning morning show on iHeart's 93.1 WPOC.

Happy Monday, radio freaks! We're recording and dropping our regular episode tomorrow along with Part 2 of our interview with John Willyard (stay tuned for that.) But in the meantime, Chris Nusbaum drops in for episode 1 of Chris's Corner, an occasional segment that will become part of our Feature Fridays in the future. In this first episode, Chris gets personal (and a bit emotional) as he reflects on the passing of Rush Limbaugh and the ongoing radio tributes to him, other people we have recently lost in radio, and why we as listeners feel these losses so deeply and personally.

Welcome to the first RCL #FeatureFriday! On these special Friday's, RCL hosts and contributors will be dropping special little extras into your podcast feed on whatever is on their minds. You never know what you'll get on a Feature Friday; heck, we don't know what you'll get most of the time. That's the fun of it--if you open your favorite podcast app on a Feature Friday, you'll know there's a surprise from us waiting for you! For the first Feature Friday surprise, we're bringing back a beloved staple from the latter part of the live show era: a segment we called Tim's Tirade. Our friend Tim O'Conner pops in for the feature's podcast debut to provide his unique perspective on the life and death of Rush Limbaugh, including some historical background on why Rush's show was so revolutionary, how Tim helped introduce Rush to the Tallahassee market, and what Rush sounded like in the early days of his talk show--a sound that, sadly, many of his younger listeners were never able to enjoy. Fun fact: Did you know Rush was once known as Jeff Christie, a top 40 DJ in Pittsburgh? Tim has an aircheck!

If you've listened to country music on the radio even casually, whether you've known it or not, you've probably heard the legendary voice of our guest on this special episode of RCL. John Willyard is a veteran voiceover artist who has been heard on stations in almost every major market, on the CMA Awards, on WWE broadcasts, and on CNN, just to name a few. John joins Jamie, Preston, Chris and Tim to share his story, swap fun facts, impart wisdom, and give us a glimpse into the off-air worlds of some of the legends he has worked with over his many years in broadcasting. To learn more about John and listen to his work, check out www.johnwillyard.com. Note: We are elated to announce that John will be joining us again next week for Part 2 of our conversation! If you have questions you'd like us to ask him, send them in to rclthepodcast@gmail.com before Tuesday, March 9.

To begin a new month of Radio Connection Live, we discuss what radio stations we think may do now but Rush has gone to pasture. We also talk about how talk radio up today is an outcry from what talk radio was like back in 1988 when Dr. Limbaugh came on the scene! We also to discuss how music radio has changed ever cents. Please note, John Williard will be joining us tomorrow march 2, for a very special episode. If you have any last minute questions for him, please send them to us either on email or social media! Enjoy, and as always, thanks for your support!

This week, we went all over the board. We bring you the latest radio news, talk about how Tim ran Rush Limbaugh back in the 80s, what running sports radio was like during a power outage, and severe weather, and we remind you why radio is more important than ever when it comes to hurricanes, and serious weather events. Next week, we are going to have John Willyard for interview. For those that do not know who he is,, he’s a legendary voiceover artist and narrator. If you have any questions for him, please get in touch either via email, or social media. Enjoy, and keep spreading the word and subscribe! :-)

Today the American radio landscape was shaken with the sudden announcement that Rush Limbaugh, who singlehandedly pioneered the syndicated conservative talk format, passed away at the age of 70 due to complications of lung cancer. On this special tribute episode, Jamie and Preston are joined by 3 friends of the show--AJ, Chris and Danny--to reflect on Rush's legacy, their personal memories of listening to his one-of-a-kind show during its unprecedented 32-year run in syndication, his impact on radio, and what talk radio will sound like without Rush on it.

Happy Presidents’ Day everyone! We had another jampacked show this week, with lots of radio news, plus topics of the week, including radio’s copycats, and people’s misconceptions about the radio, we break both layers down for you and give you our thoughts. Remember if you have any thoughts and want to contribute please do so on email, or social media. Hope you enjoy and will see you next week! :-)

Thoughts, comments, and suggestions for future topics are always welcome via email, Facebook, or Twitter. Stay tuned this Thursday as we interview Sean Ross from Ross on radio! Enjoy!

We had a jampacked episode today on radio connection life! First, we dive in the latest radio news, we talked about Radio traditions that have gone by the wayside, we discussed the benefits of streaming and why some companies should really get on the bandwagon, and also, we talk about all the wonderful lower power at them stations that are on the radio landscape. If you haven’t checked one out, we strongly encourage you to do so. We welcome a brand new member of the family this week named Hunter, he is no stranger to the show as he has been on our live edition several years ago. We hope you enjoy this episode, and please don’t forget to leave us a review, subscribe and follow us on social media!!!

Finally, we say RIP to the great Larry King, and we also talk about how Iheart Media is really creating the future of radio. Hope you enjoy this episode, don't forget to subscribe, leave us a rating, and spreading the word and radio love!!!

On this special episode of radio connection live, we got a chance to interview the legendary R dub, host of the nationally syndicated week night and Sunday night slow jams. He talks about the show, how he got into radio in the first place, as well as giving advice to somebody who has an interest and wants to get into the field someday. This was a very fun and informative episode, we hope you enjoy it!!!

What do you get when you mix a blind guy, a sports fanatic, and a radio freak, all in one human package? No, not one of our co-hosts, but the man himself... Trent Ferguson. He joins us from his home studio, where he directs news and commentates sporting events for WNZF, to chat about his radio journey, the challenges he has overcome, and how Jamie inspired him. As always, we unpack the latest news in the world of broadcasting, we recognize Chris's last day as a weekly co-host, and much more. Note: Stay tuned for a very special minicast this week featuring a very special guest!

What's up with Chris? Why wasn't he on several podcasts, and where did he go when he suddenly left in the middle of a show? Listen as Chris gives an update and makes a special announcement.

There is no doubt that the times are changing and, as they do, the way we enjoy radio is changing. This theme has been repeated again and again in discussions inside and outside the industry, including many previous episodes of this podcast. And yet, there are still some who are restistant to the very idea of a radio station streaming its content. In fact, you might be familiar with one of them. So what are the pros and cons of streaming? How important is it in the grand scheme of content delivery? Also, Americans watched events unfold on January 6 that we thought we would never see, as a group of rioters breached the walls of the Capitol and created chaos on the floors of the House and Senate as Congress sought to certify the results of November's election. How did radio do at covering this breaking story, and how did broadcasters react when they learned that the people committing the violence may have been members of their audience? That and more on this week's episode.

2020 was a lot of things, but it certainly was not uneventful. Like everything else in this crazy world, broadcasting was riddled with seemingly endless twists and turns throughout the year. So, as we say "goodbye" and "good riddance" to the year that was 2020, the RCL crew, along with contributor Tim O'Connor, takes a broad view of the year and discusses what to make of it all. From all of us at Radio Connection Live, we wish you a very merry Christmas, happy holiday season, and blessed 2021. Thank you for your support of this podcast and—most importantly—your love of radio!

Welcome to this special double-episode week! Finally back from his extended journey through the world of medical emergencies, which we hope will be over for a long time, Chris rejoins the show to reminisce about his beginnings as a budding radio freak. As expected, his story leads us to continue the conversation started on Monday and get even nerdier, if that's possible. We also share the best radio that has been getting us through the ups and downs of 2020.

Contrary to popular belief, the RCL crew aren't broadcasting experts. We're not industry insiders or professionals. We didn't go to school for this... well, maybe Ashley did, but she's just one. We're not even paid to do this. So what qualifies us to talk about radio on a podcast? Well, nothing really, except that we're a bunch of radio freaks. Radio freaks are a rare breed—often misunderstood, sometimes marginalized. So how did we become these strange specimens of humanity? Preston, Jamie and Ashley share their stories. Chris has been dealing with a lot of health issues and was out this week, which is why this episode is delayed in being published, but don't worry; you'll hear his story on the next episode. Also, Bobby Bones is now possibly the most recognized voice in country radio. But he wasn't always that successful—not in the least. Jamie, Preston and Ashley talk about Bobby's inspiring story and what it teaches us.

Preston is celebrating his birthday and Chris is recovering from a stent in the hospital, but the team still gets together to chat about radio and, on this particular episode, take a random trip down memory lane. Radio Disney finally closes its doors, making the inevitable official and prompting the team to reminisce about their childhoods as budding radio freaks. I heart continues massive layoffs of on air staff and blames Covid, but is Covid really the culprit? Just in time for the holidays, we break down the pros and cons of the various styles of pledge drives and radiothons. Finally, be sure to stay tuned until the end to hear the debut of the new weekly feature that we think you will really enjoy. Welcome to the last month of 2020 on Radio connection live!

Chris was away dealing with a family emergency, so Tim joined Jamie, Preston and Ashley to swap stories and share perspectives. They discuss the pros and cons of voice tracking, the so-called "clean" versions of songs that so often become the only versions we know, and Tim goes off on various tirades that lead their discussion to all kinds of unexpected places. Note: As a special treat, we have posted here the "uncut," long-form version of this episode. In the middle of the show, our Zoom meeting ended abruptly, and we had to quickly re-group and continue. You'll hear in this cut everything that transpired between segments.

Happy Thanksgiving! As we reflect on how thankful we are for the gift of radio, we present to you a special episode to commemorate the 57th anniversary of the assassination of President John F Kennedy, which took place on November 22, 1963. Like stations across the country at that time, KLIF in Dallas, otherwise a top 40 station, was forced to abandon its entire format to cover the news of this horrific event as it took place. Their skill in doing so is nothing short of remarkable. Join us as we take this look back, starting with Chris’s introduction, and remember why we should be thankful every day to have radio available to us.

In the spirit of Thanksgiving, we recognize what we’re thankful for as radio fans. Stations of all kinds have switched to Christmas music and we share our thoughts on holiday radio. But first, we hear from a listener about a breaking story.

Once again, our "News Nuggets" emphasize the stark contrast between big corporate radio and the "little guys." We recap the CMA Awards, which were covered on many stations, but were glaringly absent from others. Jamie introduces us to his return to Sirius XM. If you're listening late at night, in the overnight hours, you may have noticed that something is missing: the overnight DJ. On many stations, that once-faithful all-night companion is gone for good. Does that matter? What is the role of an all-night DJ if not many people are listening during that shift anyway? We discuss, and Chris shares a story that was related to him by one Blair Garner.

It has been a bittersweet week in the world of radio. Entercom and Urban One have announced a major trade-off, a few format changes have been announced, and EMF has dropped K-Love Classics with the promise of more and better things in 2021. But then there are the budget cuts at iHeart. In the midst of an economy already laden with increasing unemployment and decreasing resources, iHeart stations across the country have put an axe through their local talent pool. What does this mean, why is it happening, and where do we go from here? Is it really #BecauseCovid or is that just an excuse? We go through the cuts and respond to them. Time to get real.

So, yesterday was Election Day--that day when every politically-minded person in the US is glued to their TV or radio, listening to the seemingly endless stream of commentary as they wait for the results to come in from each state, as if it were the scoreboard of the World Series. Beginning at 6 PM Eastern, Jamie, Chris and Preston divided and conquered as they listened to stations and networks from around the country to see how each station was covering the events of Election Night. Join us as we recap the good, the bad and the ugly. Later, Tim joins in to add his unique take.

Tim O'Connor makes another guest appearance on the show, and in a blast from RCL's past, Jamie lets him host. You see, Tim hosted RCL in 2015 and 2016 when it aired live on KJSC Radio. With Tim back in the host's chair and Chris away, the crew goes all over the board as they have a freewheeling conversation about pretty much anything and everything. Be sure to listen until the end to hear an outtake for the ages! Also, listen to the original 2015 intro at the beginning of the show. After 5 years, can you recognize that voice?

TheFCC has approved a proposal that would allow a.m. radio stations to go all digital. What does that mean to you?

Heresy, you say? Perhaps, but it's true. Streaming is quickly putting an end to the need for terrestrial radio in its traditional form, and that may not be such a bad thing after all. Jamie shares what he's been learning from his experiment with only listening to streamed radio, and we discuss. Also, Preston gets us ready for November 2, a day of changes for some of the most historic radio stations in the world. Finally, Jamie shows us in so many ways that he's cooler than the rest of us. He wasn't satisfied with merely playing for us his appearance on this week's Kim Komando Show. He also related his many experiences inside a radio studio, the time he suddenly found himself going to dinner with one of the most-loved broadcasters in the Tampa Bay market, the time he was given a very special gift by a broadcaster he loved, and much more. Are you jealous yet? We certainly are!

For many years, when RCL was a live show, we ended each episode by playing Alan Jackson's "Thank God for the Radio." In this beautiful, simple song, Jackson gives thanks for the faithful companion that is with him "on the wrong end of the highway, when the long night has no end." As it is with Alan Jackson, so it is with all of us. Yes, we do our "news nuggets" and give our opinions on the latest goings on in the radio industry. But when you get down to it, radio is personal to us. And, if you think about it, we're sure it's just as personal to you. So, after updating you on the week's news and riffing a bit on heritage call letters, Jamie, Chris and Preston open up and share their stories of personal encounters with the broadcasters they had grown to love. Whether it was Jamie calling into a morning show as one of its DJ's was having a very emotional moment or Chris being completely taken by surprise by seeing at a concert the lady whose voice he woke up to every morning since he could remember hearing a radio, this show was nostalgia at its most emotional. Then, Jamie shares an experiment he is conducting and we talk about possible results. If you want to see a side of some of the RCL crew you may not have known existed, tune into this roller coaster ride of an episode! Note: We dedicate this episode to Laurie DeYoung of WPOC in Baltimore. "Miss Laurie," as she was known by Chris throughout his early childhood, celebrated her 35th anniversary of broadcasting in Baltimore—all on the same station! Why do we single her out? Listen and find out!

The shake-ups continue across the country, particularly in the lineups of talk stations. This inspires Chris to make up the name of a new format that may or may not exist. The FCC makes news worth noting—and, surprisingly, we like it. Jamie asks us if we've ever seriously thought about the sensitivity of our radio antennas. Admittedly, most of us haven't, but a good discussion ensues anyway. We take up some pretty weighty questions: Of what use is the AM band? Are radio antennas even relevant anymore? Are AM/FM radios quickly becoming a thing of the past? Has the smart speaker taken the place of the surround-sound radio as the listening apparatus of choice? Finally, it's often said that radio is "theatre of the mind." How does this translate to the way we enjoy sports? Lots to think about on this week's episode! Remember: We're giving our Facebook fans a special look behind-the-scenes as we stream our recording session next Monday, October 19, at 3 PM Eastern. Be sure to like Radio Connection Live on Facebook to get notified when we go live!

Tim O'Connor, former host of the show and veteran of terrestrial radio, joins us to tell stories of radio's past and provide his unique insights on radio's present. We revisit the land of format changes with a closer look at change that directly challenged one of the most established stations of its kind in the world. Then, what is a programming philosophy, and how is it developed? Tim shares his thoughts with the team.

EMF is at it again, acquiring more stations to bring under the huge umbrella that is K-Love. iHeart adds one more 24/7 network to their portfolio. "News Nuggets" are making waves in various markets, reminding us once again that all radio is, in the end, local. Also, this week's show is a journey of discovery for the panel, as we confess to you and each other our healthy--or perhaps unhealthy--radio addictions. Finally, we take a closer look at the Cristian radio format, and give our local stations the love they deserve. Make sure to listen carefully for this week's trivia question. Email us if you know the answer!

This week, a well-executed format change to a very well-executed format in Atlanta inspires the team to talk about what makes a good format change--and, for that matter, what makes a good format. We de-brief the iHeart Music Festival and the ACM Awards, both of which were presented very differently, for better or for worse. Our old friends at iHeart and Cumulus become the topic of conversation yet again as we talk about how similar they really are. The trivia question from last week's podcast is answered and a new one is asked. If you know the answer, email rclthepodcast@gmail.com!

This week we remember the 19th anniversary of the 9/11 attacks by listening to a powerful montage of New York City's radio landscape as stations there tried to bring to their listeners events that their own broadcasters were struggling to grapple with. The past week has been filled with "news nuggets," and we break them all down. We then discuss our favorite innovations in radio, pro and con. Be sure to listen till the end to hear Chris's radio trivia question! If you know the answer, email us!

Chris rides solo on this mini-episode about a breaking story involving one of his favorite syndicators: the Salem Radio Network. They've added a new show to their lineup, but its time slot conflicts directly with one of their own shows--which, by the way, is arguably the most popular show on that network. Chris offers some listener perspective and asks, "What's going on?" Plus, a postscript on a breaking story from Baltimore with comments that only a Marylander can provide.
