WELCOME BACK!! This is it, Fellow Babies. Welcome to the FINAL network first-run airing of WKRP. This episode, "The Impossible Dream" had been shelved by the network in the spring of 1982. Now, with a breakout hit on their hands, the network decided to play this never-before-seen episode well into the fall season...the season AFTER WKRP had been cancelled.
It's Les's birthday. The passing of another year has spurred the News Beacon of the Ohio Valley to strive for more in his career. That, and his mother is in town. Les suddenly starts pulling awards off the wall and announces he's headed to New York to take Dan Rather's news-chair.
Jennifer reacts to the birthday and mother-visit news with the same answer: Party Time! She plans a surprise birthday party for Les. For some reason, the guest of honor shows up way early. He's there before any of the other guests! He arrives without his mother and tells Jennifer he hates it for anyone to know about his birthday.
Ms. Marlowe could not be having a worse day. Triple vodkas all around!!
At the party, Les debuts his on-camera demo tape. It's beyond bad. Les realizes he's made a fool of himself and runs out.
Will Les go to New York? Will we meet Les's mother? Will we shudder just a little bit at the overwhelming cringiness of the final three minutes? Spoilers!! The answers would be: no, yes and yes.
Let's join Lester in tilting at some windmills during this FINAL WKRP episode!! Moo-goo, anyone??
WATCH ALONG DETAILS... [Want to watch along with us? It's a blast!! We highly recommend the 'Shout Factory' boxed DVD set of the entire WKRP series. For reasons you'll have to listen to in the "Prolog" episode, all streaming versions of the original "WKRP in Cincinnati" have had the original music cues removed. Generic music beds and stings were used in place of the original music for the syndicated version of the series. 'Shout Factory' has been able to restore an estimated 85% of all WKRP music cues to the original "as-aired" content for their DVD release. They've also restored scenes that had been cut to shorten episodes for syndication. The original eps ran 25 minutes. The syndication eps were shortened to 22 minutes. Over 88 episodes that's more than four hours of lost content, including the performance by "Detective" at the end of "Hoodlum Rock." Get the COMPLETE series...get the Shout Factory DVDs. The Shout Factory complete series box has a release date of 2014. All individual seasons of Shout Factory disks were released starting in 2015.]

WELCOME BACK!! This roll of film had fifty pictures of a black guy in a tux holding a bottle of shampoo...and ONE picture of a dorky white guy at a bar-b-que grill. Guess which one the printer chose? Would your answer change if you knew the photographer was Herb Tarlek?
In a career marked by colossal screw-ups, this is one colossal screw-up. Herb's new client "Soul Suds" went the full multi-media promo route. They're utilizing point of purchase display stand-ups featuring WKRP's own Venus Flytrap. Venus is right there at the store shelf promoting the same shampoo he's pitching on the radio. He's in a tux, his hair is looking awesome and he's holding the product. It's coordinated marketing synergy on an unprecedented level! And HERB is running the show!! What could go wrong?
Oh, just the pesky printer mentioned above. Herb told them they should figure anything he said was wrong. They listened to him on this one...the fools. Now Herb is cooking up burgers in convenience and grocery stores all over town while claiming to be a laid-back Venus Flytrap. We can't even see what his hair looks like because he's wearing a HAT!!
This might be all she wrote for Herb. Unless a gorgeous blonde temptress can be found to inspire the client to forgive poor Mr. Tarlek. If only we knew a gorgeous blonde temptress...Jennifer, surprisingly, steps up.
It's a tale of blind...or possibly blonde...ambition, dueling receptionists, deceptive salesmen and the most perceptive CEO Jennifer has ever met. This time beauty is in the ear of the beholder, and a good thing for Herb.
Strap in, fellow babies. It's time to push 'play' and lather up. We're gonna take a ride on the "Soul Suds" train with "To Err is Human" our next to last episode of THE SERIES.

WELCOME BACK!! Giant Lizzard ravages East Coast!! Les is at it again...a classic Nessman mess up.
Once Les gets things sorted out with giant reptiles and winter storms, he tells us about a fire at the Vine Street Mission. Turns out, Dr. Fever is a big supporter of the Mission. He was on sight for a live report right after the fire...kinda.
The kitchen at the Mission needs a new roof...to the tune of $40,000! For Johnny, and most mere mortals, this is a big pile of cash. For Ms. Jennifer Marlowe, this amount represents the equivalent of loose change in her friend's couch cushions.
She invites them over for a night of appetizers, martinis and money. She also invites "the gang." She should have specified WHICH gang. Johnny brings a few friends from the mission. They meet Jennifer's friends and the party really heats up!
You can't move the mission! Not even a foot! Especially not up into Price Hill...there's no bums up there! Although the rich folks want to help, they don't understand the intricacies of feeding the perpetually drunk. Johnny and his friends work to set them straight. Eventually, connections are made via exotic dancing and David Niven...or something like that.
Grab a big, steaming bowl of Chicken Gumbo and join us for a night of Zombies, cheese puffs and big donations from some of Cincinnati's finest philanthropists. It's gonna be a hoot!

WKRP-CAST SPECIAL REPORT: Hey, Fellow Babies!! Welcome to this podcast "Special Report". Today marked what many believe to be the anniversary of the "final" regular season, first run WKRP episode.
We have evidence this is not true. We're going to go into detail as we finish out the podcast, but we thought you might like an overview instead of waiting all summer.
Enjoy this explanation, and make sure to join us next Tuesday for our next regular episode, the hilarious "Who's On First?"

S4XTRA01-Cincy Trip Recap w/Bob Gerding & John Kiesewetter
[For "Choose Your Own Adventure" Info, See Below...]
Hey, Fellow Babies!! The Cincinnati trip was a huge success. We got back just a couple of hours before recording this episode. We had a great time, even if we are a little sore (we walked a LOT!).
There's tons of info in this week's show about the trip!! A tip: check the show Facebook page. All you have to do is search "WKRP-Cast" in Facebook and you'll find us. We mention FB posts a LOT in today's show. If you haven't been following our Epic Adventure, you'll want to take a look at some of our posts. Much of the trip was pretty visual, and we did snap a LOT of pix.
We also caught up with a couple of interesting guys who have had a LOT to do with WKRP over the years. The first was Bob Gerding. Bob is the local Video Pro who shot the opening and all of the exteriors whenever they needed something out in Studio City. Bob has some GREAT stories from working on the show.
THEN we talked to the man who is the dean of Media Reporting in Cincinnati: John Kiesewetter or just "Kiese". Kiese wrote for the Cincinnati Enquirer starting just after WKRP went off network. He followed it through the syndication episodes with the lost music, hacked scenes and awful attempt at a DVD release in 2007. He's talked to every one of the show principles and written about them all multiple times over the years (except maybe Jan). Kiese took us on an incredible tour of Cincinnati looking at it through the lens of WKRP.
We'll have full interviews with both of these guys plus a rundown of our four WKRP-Filled days in Cincinnati. Strap in, Fellow Babies...the Cincinnati tour is leaving as soon as you push "play."
CHOOSE YOUR OWN ADVENTURE:

S3XTRA03 - ReRelease-"Jennifer's Home for Christmas" (Happy Holidays!!)
Hey Fellow Babies!! We hope you're enjoying whatever end of year festivities are your custom. We celebrate Christmas, so we're hanging with family over the holidays eating too much and opening presents. Yeah...it also means we're taking the week off!! Fear not!! We didn't want to leave you hanging completely, so we've recorded a new intro for "Jennifer's Home for Christmas", and we are re-running this holiday episode (we originally ran it last May...we also like being able to drop it over Christmas).
Enjoy the festive holiday laughs, then get ready for NEXT week when we finish off "Dr. Fever and Mr. Tide." What a great way to start the new year!!
(Oh, and if "Jen's Home" isn't enough Christmas Cheer for you, make sure to replay "Bah, Humbug" from earlier this winter for more Holiday Hijinks!!)
Okay, Fellow Babies...time to look under the tree and push "Play."

WELCOME BACK! Hey, Fellow Babies! Guess what? We're still moving! We tore down the audio editor and piled it into the back of a U-Haul with the rest of our stuff on Oct. 13th. Goodbye, Illinois!! (it was fun...but we won't miss the winters!). Hello, Arkansas! (but not as fast as we thought...construction slowdown due to supply chain issues at the new place). We've taken a 2-week hiatus to let us get moved and settled into the new place (and, of course, get to podcastin'!!).
We didn't want to leave you completely KRP-less this week, so we loaded up a favorite episode. Strap in...we're taking a ride with Hamilton Camp as Del Murdoch!! It's "Hold Up"! Have another laugh at "Wingy Mennone" and we will be back with you fresh and new next week. Thanks for bearing with us! -Allen & Donna

WELCOME BACK! Hey, Fellow Babies! The massive "Stare Relocation Tour 2021" is on! We tore down the audio editor and piled it into the back of a U-Haul with the rest of our stuff on Oct. 13th. Goodbye, Illinois!! (it was fun...but we won't miss the winters!). Hello, Arkansas! (in about a week...construction slowdown due to supply chain issues at the new place). Since we knew there was no way to get a new show out for this week, we decided to give you a sample of something. Our Patrons have already heard it (sorry, Patrons...oh, and b-t-dubs: you guys ROCK!!).
We started recording our "First Watch" sessions with each new episode and made them into "Patron Extras." They've been very well received. We thought we'd give you a sample of some of the 'behind-the-scenes" extra content you can get when you support the WKRP-Cast on Patreon. $5 a month!! We're retired...support us in our old age and we'll keep making podcasts!!
Enjoy this "First Watch" sample from Les' Groupie. We've got a re-release loaded up for next week, but we are planning on a NEW SHOW the first week of November!! (come on supply chain!!). Thanks for bearing with us! -Allen & Donna

WELCOME BACK! Hey, Fellow Babies...we've got big doings around here!! We talk about it in a little more detail in the intro. We're moving! Retirement, warmer weather...we'll still be podcasting, just not in frigid Central Illinois. Be patient with us the next few weeks. Our recording space will be changing. Once we're in the new place everything should stabilize. Until then, be ready for anything!!
Special episode this week: We asked our Patrons to pick their favorite. It wasn't unanimous or anything, but this one did stand out in the voting. Enjoy, and be back for a NEW episode next week!!

WELCOME BACK! Hey, Fellow Babies! If you happen to be from the United States, a Happy and Safe Fourth of July to you! If you are from elsewhere, this is the week where happy citizens of the U.S. celebrate their independence by spending a fortune on fireworks and ER visits. We are taking the week off for a little vacation...but we didn't want to leave you hanging without anything to listen to from the WKRP-Cast!! We've done a new intro to our MOST POPULAR download from the first year of the podcast. Got any guesses? It's NOT "Turkeys Away."
We also have a BIG ANNOUNCEMENT!! The WKRP-Cast now has a Patreon page! Thanks to you, our audience numbers have become 'viable.' Viable means there are enough of you listening to justify an advertiser spending money on jamming a commercial in front of your ears. Don't get us wrong, we like money but we DON'T like commercials. We'd rather not have one (or two, or three) in the show. The idea of making some money from the show is very attractive. We're nearing a point where JUST podcasting seems like a fun (and possible) career path. This started out as a pandemic hobby. Lately, we find ourselves doing other 'real work' kinds of things and realize, we'd rather be podcasting!!
Hopefully, you value the work we're doing enough to support the show. This is all voluntary. We aren't holding the show hostage or anything. The weekly Tuesday episodes will remain free and available to anyone who wants to listen. We do hope to be adding additional things behind the paywall...more interviews, roundtable discussions, extra background on things we find and, your suggestions! If you're a subscriber, we hope you'll help us tailor the content we provide to subscribers.
Ready to become a patron? It's easy! Here's the link...and thanks!!

WELCOME BACK! We've got "Elgar"!! Christian Seaborn is the 4'11" comic actor who brought the memorable attorney "Elgar Neece" to life on the WKRP Episode "Mike Fright". The WKRP-Cast found Elgar...er, Christian...who is living in Reno, NV. You know how how high-energy Elgar is? There's a lot of Christian in Elgar...we got him to hold still for a few minutes and talk to us!! Christian was kind enough to Zoom about WKRP and his MTM Studio experiences. Get ready, gang...Elgar is gonna blow you away! Did you know that extremely tall Funeral Director Randall Ferryman (played by Fred Stuthman) almost had a 4'11" executive assistant?!? Neither did we!! NOBODY did!! Christian tells the tale. Christian had a ton of involvement with the show AND he was actually consulted on the creation of the "Elgar" character!
If you thought you knew all the backstage details about the Mighty 'KRP...get ready. Christian is adding chapters to the tale!! Hang up your briefcase phone, put your Italian pistol away and hit "play"...it's time to listen to your lawyer!!
******** In the episode, we mention the article done on Christian by "Our Town Reno." It's a very well done piece that covers his early performing life and gets into the very trying period following his work on WKRP. It's a period Christian would rather not discuss, but he did give us permission to share the article. Here's a link if you'd like to check it out:

WELCOME BACK! Settle in kids, and prepare for a thrilling tale of yesteryear!! Okay, so maybe it's not quite THAT old...but this is going back a bit. In Atlanta in the early 1970s, an advertising executive was dealing with a demon. It was the Demon of Creativity, and it was forcing him to write and to create. This ad exec's name, of course, was Hugh Wilson. The thing he was driven to create all the way back in 1971 had a name: "The Bagel Report." The Bagel Report, or TBR as we've started calling it, was a full-length movie. It was a comedy...a sex-comedy, actually...in the style of Woody Allen. TBR skewered modern sexual research and attitudes...even the name was a jab at "The Kinsey Report." TBR was baudy enough to get an "X" rating...but nobody was having sex. Hugh even said, if there'd been MORE sex it probably would have been a better movie. Every aspect of TBR was Hugh's baby from inception to production. He wrote, directed, produced, financed, cast and even got the coffee for "The Bagel Report."
VERY little is known about TBR. Only a handful have ever seen it. We were lucky enough to find someone who was IN THE BAGEL REPORT!! Janet Meshad-Wells is the wife of WKRP Music Director Tom Wells (1941-2012), an actress, and was a personal friend of Hugh Wilson. Janet was not only a part of the TBR cast, she did two scenes WITH Hugh Wilson. Janet mixed up a cocktail and got down to details with us. She talked Bagel Report, Hugh Wilson, Bill Dial, Hollywood, Atlanta and a WHOLE lot more! Our conversation is fast-paced, full of great details and, towards the end, possibly a bit tipsy. Yes, those are ice cubes you hear clinking in a glass. You should probably choose your own libation if you are so inclined before you hit 'play'...as Janet says, if we're talking about Hugh Wilson, we should really be drinking.
WATCH ALONG DETAILS... [Want to watch along with us? It's a blast!! We highly recommend the 'Shout Factory' boxed DVD set of the entire WKRP series. For reasons you'll have to listen to in the "Prolog" episode, all streaming versions of the original "WKRP in Cincinnati" have had the original music cues removed. Generic music beds and stings were used in place of the original music for the syndicated version of the series. 'Shout Factory' has been able to restore an estimated 85% of all WKRP music cues to the original "as-aired" content for their DVD release. They've also restored scenes that had been cut to shorten episodes for syndication. The original eps ran 25 minutes. The syndication eps were shortened to 22 minutes. Over 88 episodes that's more than four hours of lost content, including the performance by "Detective" at the end of "Hoodlum Rock." Get the COMPLETE series...get the Shout Factory DVDs. The Shout Factory complete series box has a release date of 2014. All individual seasons of Shout Factory disks were released starting in 2015.]

WELCOME BACK! Hey, Fellow Babies! We've finished all of Season One!! Woo-hoo!! We thought we'd celebrate the turn of the seasons with something EXTRA. If you heard our "Young Master Carlson" episode, then you're already very aware that Marcus Issoglio (aka "Sparky Marcus") is a NUT! This guy is FUNNY! We had a great time Zooming with him for about 90 minutes one Saturday afternoon. That interview was the source of the comments you heard in our "Young Master Carlson" podcast.
Although he did not set out to be a child actor (it was all mom and dad's doing) and he did NOT have a good childhood because of his job...Marcus still amassed some amazing stories. As much as he didn't enjoy the life of a child actor, he WAS working in the middle of an era many call the "Second Golden Age" of Television. He met and worked with stars who both were, and have become, huge icons. We set out to limit our interview to his experiences on WKRP. The rest of his career was not a fun time, so no need to bring any of THAT up, right?
Ah, but things got loose...we started talking...and he started remembering these AMAZING stories!! When it was all through, we not only had everything we needed for the podcast, we had SO much more! After getting Marcus' approval and permission, we decided we HAD to let you guys hear this stuff!! It's not ALL WKRP...but, wow, there is a lot of KRP mixed in there. Just when you think we're done with KRP...we go right back!!
A tip: even if you're not into the interview...you HAVE to stay until the "Star Wars" story. Seriously, listen to the "Star Wars" story, then you can shut it off. It is TOTALLY worth the wait!
Enjoy, Fellow Babies!! Next time you hear from us, we'll be back on the MTM Lot and Season Two will be getting underway!! Talk to you then!! - Allen & Donna

WELCOME BACK!! It's College Class Reunion Time and Moose...er, Art...is getting ready to head out for the big weekend. He's gotten his Letterman Sweater cleaned and he's making reservations at the "Eat 'n Sleep."
Meanwhile, Venus is attempting to 'woo' a young lady from a local broadcast school. She seems a bit smarter than Mr. Flytrap's usual conquests. She's also not thrilled about the lack of privacy in the Venus Lovenest...aka The Control Booth.
With Art out of town, Venus sees a chance to regale his young lady friend with crab puffs and gherkins galore.
When Art and Carmen get to the "Eat 'n Sleep", not much has changed in 25 years. They meet up with Hank "The Hunk" and his flaky wife Fluffy! The "Eat 'n Sleep" was the scene of Art and Carmen's first date. It's a tale Art loves to tell again and again.
Hank reveals a secret Carmen has kept from Art for 25 years. He can't be TOO mad at her...especially when she explains. The night ends with Art and Carmen dancing to a Shout! Factory replacement song...but we'll let you hear the real thing.
Two, four, six, eight...who do we appreciate?? Omegas, Omegas, OMEGAS!! Push 'play' to get this little pep rally underway. Got your beanie??

WELCOME BACK! Hey, Fellow Babies! Prepare yourselves for something COMPLETELY different! We're on a holiday break but we didn't want to leave you hanging for a full two weeks. So, we decided to do a little something "extra"...which is why we're calling this a "WKRP-Cast Extra"!! Huge thanks to Casey Piotrowski, writer of "Contest Nobody Could Win" for sharing the outline with us. Casey said they were handed out during a new writer's meeting in the fall of 1978. The "Turkeys Away" outline served as an example..."do it like this." Turns out, the 'outline' is actually a narrative description of the episode, complete with character lines and everything! When we first read through it, we thought, "this is kinda cool...you can sorta see the episode in there...". We decided a good way to share it with you would be to read it...word-for-word, start to finish. A lot easier to digest than a downloadable PDF, but if you want a downloadable PDF of the script in case you want to follow along, here's that, too:

Hi!! Our names are Allen and Donna Stare! We are a married couple from the Midwest who have been fans of the television show "WKRP in Cincinnati" since it originally aired. Allen started a career in radio and advertising at age 15 and much of his interest was inspired by WKRP. While Allen comes at the show more from the radio side of things, Donna is a fan of the humanity and the characters that populate the world of WKRP. We are both lovers of trivia, music and history so we decided to pull all of these interests together and start a re-watch podcast. We'll be watching a new episode each week, in broadcast order, with trivia, background insights and opinions. This week, we're setting the table with some general background on the creation of the show, we meet the man whose "baby" it truly was: Mr. Hugh Wilson, we talk about all the problems with the music over the years (it's an epic tale!!) AND we meet the eight regular players who will be a part of WKRP for four years. We felt like it was important to cover these big topics now, so we can hit the ground running with the Pilot-Part1. We hope you join us! Watch along if you can, but even if you don't get a chance to watch the show, each episode of the podcast is full of laughs and a lot of interesting stuff. Hop in the Wayback Machine to the late 1970s. Fellow babies, the WKRP-Cast is on the air...grab your brains and don't miss it!! (This is gonna be a blast!!)

'Shout Factory' has been able to restore an estimated 85% of all WKRP music cues to the original "as-aired" content for their DVD release. They've meticulously restored what quality there was from the original videotape. They've also restored scenes that had been cut to shorten episodes for syndication. The original eps ran 25 minutes. The syndication eps were shortened to 22 minutes. Over the course of 88 episodes (90 in syndication, 2-1 hour eps were broken up) that's more than four hours of lost content, including some cool stuff, like the performance by "Detective" at the end of "Hoodlum Rock."

Hey, fellow babies!! Our names are Allen and Donna Stare and we're starting a podcast! Allen has been in radio and advertising for forty years...and Donna married him (it's not her fault, she didn't know where this could lead). We're both huge fans of "WKRP in Cincinnati"...so big, in fact, we decided we just had to chat about it with the whole world! (or at least the percentage of the world that enjoys hilarious sitcoms about 20th Century modes of audio reproduction and distribution). Check the trailer...and SPREAD THE WORD!!

WELCOME BACK!! Andy's good buddy, Norris Breeze, is in Cincinnati! What brings ol' Norris to town? That would be Mama Carlson. Norris has developed a coke habit so he needed a high paying job. He's now a "radio consultant" tasked with making every radio station sound the same from coast to coast.
Norris has already been in town a couple of days, monitoring the Mighty 'KRP. Andy gulps hard and starts the wheels turning. How can he discredit "the Radio Doctor" from New York? Oh, Andy's not as 'aw-shucks' as you might think. He has a trick or two up his sleeve.
He can't make them competent...but could he make them different? Andy hatches a plan. It involves the whole staff, but you might not recognize them once Andy's done.
As Jennifer gets coffee for "Mr. Breezy" some guy in a good-looking suit is claiming to be Herb. This is the Flimm Building, right? Norris takes copious notes, while watching out for Venus and his knife. He can't wait to report it all back to Mama.
When he does, Andy just sits quietly with a little grin on his face. Being from Santa Fe, this might not be Mr. Travis' first rodeo. Norris proceeds to describe a station Mama's never seen. Her son is...overworked? No, this is not the WKRP Mama knows. She realizes with a quiet grin how well she's been played.
As Hirsch ushers Andy out, he's asking for even MORE money. Mama realizes this Mr. Travis is not one to be trifled with. Get in on the whole madcap experience!! Push "Play" now...Jennifer will have some coffee to you shortly. We think.

WELCOME BACK!! Remember way back at the start of Season Four when the Phone Cops blew up the transmitter?? (Or, something like that...gotta stop listening to Johnny). Anyway, insurance said they'd replace the transmitter...at its current value. Its old, and usually broken, current value. Andy decides a Top Ten operation like WKRP should be heard on something nicer than Harris' best AM Transmitter from 1968.
He decides the best way to get to the checkbook is around Art. Mama Carlson can authorize additional funds. Andy decides to meet with her...at a nice restaurant. Then again at the opera. He's meeting with her in the trendiest places all over town.
Les, intrepid newsman that he is, blows the whistle on the whole sordid seeming-affair. Were Andy and Mrs. C. really an "item"? Are you INSANE??
When confronted with her possible indiscretions, Mama can only say it's what you 'do' with Employees. Besides, Andrew has nice hair.
Will Andy get his new transmitter? Will Mama make a new life for herself in Los Angeles? Will Art get a chance to visit the Arboretum? These questions and more will be answered in this week's installment: "Love, Exciting and New"!!

WELCOME BACK!! Jennifer is out on the town enjoying a posh meal at an upscale and trendy Cincinnati hotspot. Her companion is...elderly. Let's not kid ourselves...he's old! This is the Colonel. He seems to have held a special spot in Jennifer's life for a while now.
Actually, if Steve Marshall and Hugh Wilson had gotten their way, he'd have been MARRIED to Jennifer right now. Dinner doesn't go well. The Colonel expires minutes before paying the whopper of a check.
Is Jennifer a conniving gold digger? Or just a young lady in love with an older gentleman? Either way, she's Executrix of the Industrialist's estate. Meeting the family is a treat. Seeing the old man on video in the lawyer's office...even MORE of a treat!!
We've got guest stars galore, a new lobby and a seminar from Andy on how NOT to comfort your friends. Before you push 'play' do you promise to be of sound mind?? Ah, who cares...

WELCOME BACK!! Hmm...turns out saying "booger" on the air is NOT grounds for firing someone. Johnny had a year left on his contract and somebody decided to sue for it. Out of the blue, a settlement... minus his attorney's quite reasonable 51%...has shown up in Johnny's mailbox. Even with everybody's mitts on his money, Johnny is still walking away with a lump sum of $24,000.
Art voices all of our concerns: "Good golly...Fever with money?"
Johnny goes on a bender, meets some friends and buys some clothes. He also made some investments...like see-through soap! A long Harmonica!! (He might need some help with his choices...)
Venus and the Gang convince the Good Dr. he should be investing what's left. He decides to plunk a bunch down on a condo at "Gone With the Wind Estates." It's a client of Herb's...so you know it's got to be good!
The Estate is...nice...in a 'plantation' sort of way. Johnny hates it! No amount of cutesy street names can make up for his condo-hatred.
Will Johnny get out of his purchase? Will Les get to see the pool? Will Jennifer convince Andy a Grandfather Clock is the perfect lobby accessory?
Find out this week on the WKRP-Cast!! Push 'play'...and Go with the Wind!!

WELCOME BACK!! Herb's in the Hospital being checked for potential ticker troubles. Whatever the doctor might tell him can't be as bad as the little item he finds in today's paper. Carlson confirms it! WKRP is interviewing sales people! It sounds long term!
Back at the station, the cheap cologne brigade has assembled on Jennifer's doorstep. Andy, for some reason, is conducting the interviews in Art's office.
Instead of causing Herb REAL ticker troubles, Jennifer says she'd like to give this Account Executive thing a go...at least for a couple of weeks.
She and Art...who's filling in for Herb...head to the Coliseum and a meeting with Pat Perillo. Pat, it turns out, is a shady concert promoter and 'phone only' associate of Mr. Herbert R. Tarlek. The three meet in a questionable hallway somewhere in the Coliseum. Art is mistaken for Herb and Jennifer convinces Art to go with it. THEN, it turns out, Pat wants to meet Art.
But, uh, Art is Herb.
So, Who's going to be Art?
Hang on, Fellow Babies!! This one gets WEIRD!! It's the second part of our rollercoaster ride through Guntzelman World and the laughs are HUGE!! Push 'play', then keep your hands and arms inside the ride at all times...

WELCOME BACK!! Herb is going on vacation...with his insurance papers. It's how ol' "Work Hard/Play Hard" Herbie rolls. Or maybe not. Jennifer starts to worry, Les starts to dial hospitals.
He starts with the cheapest first, so it doesn't take long. One call is enough and Huggable Herbie has been located. Les decides to visit Herb before jetting off to Omaha and Copper Cob Accolades.
Herb decides to visit a Porn Theater. Hang on...there is a rationale, but this gets weird. Herb's decided, in order to live life to the fullest, you've gotta get a front row seat at a 3D Porn House. In a related story, Cincinnati Vice is cracking down on purveyors of porn and pork-like products...er, hold it...wrong cart.
Les, Herb and the whole gang (minus Jennifer...for some reason) wind up in the klink. Jailer "Mel" saves the day and the poor MTM Set People sleep for about three days after this one is done.
Ready to join the madcap hilarity waiting for you in "Guntzelman World"? Push 'play'...oh, and put on your glasses. Not you, Bailey!

WELCOME BACK!! Johnny's got lizards...big ones. The landlord is fumigating, so Johnny is out on the street! He appeals to the gang for a place to crash. Les says no because Johnny's messy. Herb just says 'no.' Andy and Venus both seem to be hosting exchange students.
Bailey takes pity on our poor beleaguered morning man. She will give him a place to stay until the de-lizarding is finished.
The rumor mill kicks into high gear immediately. Even Jennifer, Venus and Andy are whispering and snickering behind Bailey's back.
Bailey decides to 'give 'em something to talk about.' Johnny just wants it to stop. If worrying about morning fill-in guy Rex isn't enough, now Johnny has to worry about Bailey's virtue.
Hey...didja hear? Push 'play' and I'll give you all the sordid details...

WELCOME BACK!! It's time to organize, it's time to unionize, it's time to "look for...that union label...".
WKRP has had another bit of a ratings surge. The lack of commercials following Dr. Bob's Boycott seems to have attracted listeners. The Mighty KRP is now ranked 10th among all Cincinnati Radio Stations. Art's ready to celebrate with a few raises!
While Art's looking for someplace cheap but elegant to hold a company dinner, the rest of the gang is sneaking around whispering about unions. They held a meeting over at WPIG...at least that's what Johnny heard.
Herb takes word to the Big Guy: the troops are looking to organize. Once Art hears this, the battle is on! The Big Guy doesn't want a union...but how will he stop it? He decides to consult a higher power...Mama.
Will the hob-nailed boot of management be lifted from the necks of KRPs toiling employees? Not if Mama C. has anything to say about it! She's ready to sell the station tomorrow if it goes Union today. Well, maybe...then again, maybe not. Would you want to cross Mama?
We need a secret handshake before you're allowed in the meeting. Oh, you've got roses? Sure, come on in! Push 'play' and look up for a message from our sponsor.

WELCOME BACK!! Finally! All the hard work for the KRP-Crew seems to be paying off! Andy got the new Book in this morning and there's some GOOD news!! The Mighty 'KRP has risen to a quite respectable SIXTH in the Cincinatti Market!!
Andy calls the gang together for the big reveal. Herb thinks this is it for his time on the streets...the phone will be ringing off the hook, right??
In the lobby, a gentleman with a deep and resonating voice has introduced himself to Jennifer as the NEW News Director. Ummm...huh?
Mrs. Carlson has reached out to Fargo, N.D. in search of...what? A replacement for Les? No, when Andy confronts her, she says Les still has a job. Turns out, Mr. Travis might be the one looking for work. Mama intends to turn the whole rockin' shootin' match into a respectable "All News" station.
Will Mama get her way? Will Andy be heading out "town to town...up and down the dial"? Surely not! Then again, WKRP the TV show hasn't been doing nearly as well as WKRP the radio station when it comes to ratings. This might be the last show of the series, let alone the last show of the season.
And, really, it's not even the last show of the season. Big programming news, fellow babies! Next week we veer WAY off the known path as we check out a first-run WKRP episode that didn't air until AUGUST!!
It's coming to an end...but there are still some surprises left in store for you, Fellow Babies! Grab a swig from Johnny's Jug and hit "Play"...Hirsch will get the door.

WELCOME BACK!! You made it back for Part 2! (a lot of people didn't in 1981). In case you need a refresher, we've got a Bomb threat!!
Andy dispatched Venus and Johnny to the Transmitter Building in the middle of Part One. The guys are blowing off the dust and trying to keep some tunes on the WKRP Air. Things are...rough. The turntable doesn't want to play and the bookie doesn't want to talk. Wing, Johnny's Chinese Bookie and Restauranteur, put Johnny on hold just minutes before the biggest hunch bet of his life was at the post. 'Fever's Dream', an 80 to 1 long shot was screaming to Johnny for a bet. If only he can make it in time.
When the horse came through...but the bookie didn't...Johnny takes his frustrations out on the phone. Three quick whacks with the big metal toolbox left Ma Bell's Magic Device in tiny shards of psychedelic spaghetti.
At the end of last week's show, Andy realizes the bomb might be out at the transmitter instead of in the Flimm Building. But how do you contact the guys when the phone is in pieces on the floor? Call their cell?? Sorry, this is 1981.
Put down that Toolbox and push "play"!! It's time for an EXPLOSIVE WKRP-Cast Conclusion!

WELCOME BACK!! It's a busy day around the Mighty 'KRP!! Joyce Armor, the woman who used to have Jennifer's job, has returned, The usual round of complaints about Johnny have arrived, Venus and Johnny are gambling in the Control Room and oh, yeah...there's a bomb threat.
Bomb threat? Excuse me!!
Andy says its normal for a newly popular station to get these kinds of things. Everyone would figure it's a hoax if it weren't for John Davidson having his show blown up over on Channel 73 in Dayton. Just to be safe, let's call the Bomb Squad and see if they can bring over some bomb sniffing dogs (oh, sorry...didn't mean to bring up a sore subject).
Venus and Johnny have been dispatched to the Transmitter Building, Art and Joyce have dispatched themselves to Emilio's and the rest of the gang has been dispatched to the sidewalk. Grab a Buckeye Newshawk Award on your way out.
There's no way we could possibly wrap this one up in a single half hour! We see the dreaded "To Be Continued" at the end! What are Art and Joyce up to? What's in the Tool Box? And...is that Old Spice? Don't miss the START OF SEASON FOUR...push "play" for the WKRP-Cast!

A SPECIAL INTERVIEW!! Hey there, Fellow Babies! If you're a fan of WKRP at all (and if you're listening to this podcast, we're guessing you are) you've probably seen the name "Max Tash" in the credits. It's the first name listed over the nighttime city shots when the "Went to a Bartender" closing theme begins. Picturing it in your head?
Max was working for WKRP from before the beginning. He was an MTM "runner/gopher" on the production while casting was happening. He was production associate in the first season, Associate Producer in Seasons 2 and 3, then Coordinating Producer in the 4th Season. He was there for all 88 episodes...all the way through to "Up and Down the Dial." Only Hugh Wilson has his name in the credits of WKRP more times than Max Tash. Max was kept pretty busy with production duties, but during his tenure with WKRP, he did write a single episode. Max came up with the much-loved "Clean Up Radio Everywhere" episode featuring Dr. Bob Halyer (Hallier? Halyers?), the Jerry Falwell-like preacher who is ready to clean up Cincinnati radio.
Max has been a friend of the podcast since our first few weeks. Via e-mail, he's supplied us with some great details as we've been working our way through the episodes. Max was happy to answer e-mail questions but, although we've asked a few times, Max has never agreed to speak with us for an interview. When we told him we just HAD to have his comments about "CURE" he said, "oh, okay."
So get ready fellow babies...Heeeeere's Max! We talked to Max for more than an hour...and barely scratched the surface of the millions of stories he has tucked away. He is a wealth of knowledge about the show, about Hugh Wilson...about everything WKRP! We hope we can talk Max into another session with us at the end of the series. Either way, here is the incredible Max Tash, with information about "CURE", "The Famous Teddy Z", "Frank's Place", The Pussy Cat Theater (!) and a WHOLE lot more.

WELCOME BACK!! Dr. Bob Halyers (Halliers? Halyer?) has come to WKRP with one thing on his mind: cleaning up the airwaves!! Dr. Bob is the head of "Clean Up Radio Broadcasting" aka CURB. Yes, it's possible he was also head of something called "Clean Up Radio Everywhere" or CURE...but that was an earlier draft.
We get into the details about all things "CURB/CURE" with a VERY special Guest! WKRP Associate & Coordinating Producer MAX TASH joins us with his insight. You see, not only was Max doing his production duties on this one...he also WROTE it! Well, maybe not word-for-word...but it was his IDEA! (He'll tell you more about that in the podcast.)
Do NOT miss this very special episode of WKRP...and a very special episode of the WKRP-Cast! What are you waiting for? Those dirty words aren't going to listen to themselves!!
Oh, and as promised, here is our "Sweet Sixteen"...these are the songs in the naughty word montage (we know you got most of them...but just in case you didn't recognize one or two):
Who Are You - The Who (1978) Money - Pink Floyd (1971) Big Shot - Billy Joel (1978) Jet Airliner - Steve Miller Band Hair of the Dog - Nazreth (1975) The Hurricane - Bob Dylan (1976) The Bitch is Back - Elton John (1974) Lawyers, Guns & Money - Warren Zevon (1978) Precious - Pretenders (1979) Laura - Bily Joel (1982) Bus Rider - The Guess Who (1970) Some Girls - Rolling Stones (1978) Legs - ZZ Top (1983) Play Guitar - John "Cougar" Mellencamp (1983) Alright Now - Free (1970) Start Me Up - Rolling Stones (1981)

WELCOME BACK!! Johnny is filling in for Moss Steiger, the overnight guy. The Doctor is either hung over or dealing with a bad cold. Either way, he's wandering around the station with a towel over his head completely oblivious to the ROBBERY taking place in the station!
The next day, the gang finds all the valuables are gone...the phones, Art's hobby equipment, even Les' typewriter! The only rational response is to install a burglar alarm...which The Big Guy does immediately!!
Okay, so not IMMEDIATELY...but it'll be in by Friday. Which happens to be the same day as Herb's big shindig for Cincinnati Ad Agencies! He's gone all out...banquet room in the Flimm, catering, a coat check girl with legs to her shoulders...everything you need for the perfect Friday night.
If you've been paying attention...or you know ANYTHING AT ALL about sitcoms...you know the burglar alarm and the party are going to combine for a hilarious evening. Or, possibly, an evening filled with John Donne quotes and firearms. With the crazy cats who show up at Herb's party, anything could happen!!
Have you met Hilda? IMDb seems to have missed her, but she's very sweet. The olives spell out WKRP and there's a handgun pointed at Andy's head!! If we told you any more we might spoil the big surprise in Art's Office!! Intrigued? Frightened? Push "play" and hide under the covers...Les warned us this might happen.

WELCOME BACK!! Imagine Mama Carlson is your mother. Now imagine having her help you plan your wedding. Carmen couldn't take it at first...all the way back in 1956. She and Arthur eloped just to get away from "the Boss." Carmen never had a "real" wedding ceremony.
Twenty-five years later, Carmen's still not happy about spending time with Mama, but she and Art are planning a real ceremony to celebrate their 25th Wedding Anniversary. They visit Mama Carlson hoping for her blessing...and a "hands off" approach to helping. Also, as the title of the episode says, they want to keep it simple. Mama says she's mellowed over the years. If this is mellow, we'd rather not see her before the mellowing took place!!
Mama says she agrees to Art and Carmen's requests...in voice, maybe, but certainly not in spirit. Meanwhile, back at the station Herb has called a couple of strippers who he happens to have in his Rolodex.
We meet a new recurring character and he is a HOOT! This is our first interaction with "Hirsch", Mama's long-suffering butler. Talk about a love-hate relationship...with a heavy emphasis on the "hate".
So, are you Bride's side or Groom's side? Is Senator Taft here?? Uh, no...I think he's dead. Maybe I could get you a Silver Bullet Cocktail...shaken, not stirred? We don't want to disrupt the nuptials, which is why, before the strippers get here, you need to push "play". We'll enjoy something old, something new, something seedy...and vibrating, too!!
WATCH ALONG DETAILS... [Want to watch along with us? It's a blast!! We highly recommend the 'Shout Factory' boxed DVD set of the entire WKRP series. For reasons you'll have to listen to in the "Prolog" episode, all streaming versions of the original "WKRP in Cincinnati" have had the original music cues removed. Generic music beds and stings were used in place of the original music for the syndicated version of the series. 'Shout Factory' has been able to restore an estimated 85% of all WKRP music cues to the original "as-aired" content for their DVD release. They've also restored scenes that had been cut to shorten episodes for syndication. The original eps ran 25 minutes. The syndication eps were shortened to 22 minutes. Over 88 episodes that's more than four hours of lost content, including the performance by "Detective" at the end of "Hoodlum Rock." Get the COMPLETE series...get the Shout Factory DVDs.

RIP-Howard Hesseman: We didn't have a chance to add anything to the episode, but we did want to take a moment to mention the passing of Howard "Dr. Johnny Fever" Hesseman on Jan. 29th of 2022. He was 81 years old.
WELCOME BACK!! Everyone knows the wheels of commerce are greased by a steady flow of cocktails. At least, if you're Herb Tarlek, it's how things work. Herb has been on a sales binge for nearly a month now...which means he's also been on a drinking binge.
We've got Herb quoting Rip Tide and hiding big bottles of expensive looking bourbon in his bottom desk drawer. Okay, so it's an expensive looking bottle. The bourbon...not so much. Herb has been downgrading the brew with some cheap stuff and a funnel. His clients don't seem to mind.
Herb may or may not have a problem. Okay...yeah...he's got a problem. Without lecturing, Art gives Herb a pretty effective lecture. Herb realizes things may not be as "okey-fine" as he thinks. He decides to try to correct his course before it's all gotten completely out of hand.
Like any good After School Special, we learn the big lesson in the third act. Then everyone goes home happy and better off than they were before the whole thing started. Well, Craig T. Nelson might not be better off...but we won't have to worry about him next week! You look a little green. Would you just hit "play" before you pass out, already?? Cheers!!

WELCOME BACK!! If you're Les Nessman, you know how important it is to stay vigilant. Commies are everywhere!! Pinkos, and other ne'er-do-wells who would undo our great democracy must be vigilantly repelled...even if one of them happens to be your own father!
This is an amazing story to take on in a single half hour of television. They threw in a lot of jokes...we've got a hilariously slapstick "B"-story involving Venus, Johnny and a studio project. We've got Jennifer preparing for Paris in the Springtime with a riotously off-kilter collection of travel phrases. You've never seen these in High School French Class!
Then, as you're laughing along at these great running gags, you suddenly realize you've been hit right in the heart with a gut-wrenching performance from an on-fire Richard Sanders. Or maybe it's ANOTHER gut-wrenching performance of some note courtesy of the guy who's playing Les' dad...Les' real dad...not Lester Nessman, Sr.
Get ready for an under-appreciated gem in the WKRP episode bag. Oh, did we mention...we've got SAM ANDERSON??!! How could this get any better? What are you waiting for??!! Push 'play' for a major Red Scare.

WELCOME BACK!! Somebody needs to save The Flimm!! The owners of the landmark Osgood R. Flimm building, located in downtown Cincinnati, have decided it's time for an upgrade. The 50 year old Art-Deco structure is scheduled for demolition...according to the Registered Letter Art got in today's mail.
The gang is outraged...livid...but, hey, we're talking Real Estate Mega-bucks, so what're ya gonna do??
Bailey decides she's not going to take this lying down...or sitting still or standing by...she's a bit drunk. Her directions are a bit confused.
The Campaign to Save the Flimm is ON! WKRP is the nerve center. Bailey is in charge while Jennifer is supporting the effort with her heretofore unknown typing skills!! The lady can TYPE! (just not for Herb!!)
Will the Flimm be saved? Will Bailey pass out after her next Old Fashioned?? Will Art finally concentrate and finish an editorial?? These and more questions will be answered when you hit "play" on this edition of The WKRP-Cast!!

WELCOME BACK!! We're 87 episodes into the series and Mr. Blake Hunter has decided we really need to clarify a few things that came before...like stuff that happened during the PILOT!
It's time to corral all those things we've heard about Venus over the last four years and explain how it could all happen to one man. We know him as military deserter...accomplished teacher...hottest nighttime deejay in NOLA...how was he able to pull it all off and he's not 63 years old??
We discover a few things in Venus' past have been...fudged. Okay, so maybe Mr. Travis outright lied about a couple of things, but all in the name of good radio, right??
Mama Carlson doesn't think so. She's dropped by the station one evening to meet with Arthur. He's late. She is walking through the station as Andy and Venus are involved in some serious horseplay.
Mama winds up getting tackled in the midst of all the goofing around. In exchange for her forgiveness, she forces Andy and Venus to tell us the TRUE story of Mr. Venus Flytrap and his "biggest" audience in The Big Easy.
Sit back, Fellow Babies...the episode was only 25 minutes, but they jammed so MUCH into it!! We've got a Max question, a comment from Tim Reid and a TON of new info about this old episode. We go for nearly an hour and a half...but don't worry, it'll flytrap right by!! Push 'play' and jump in the Time Machine!! It's about to get all boogity up in here.

WELCOME BACK!! Herb had a good idea (no, seriously...he did!!!) He suggested a call-in advice show. They're sweeping the nation! His buddy in St. Louis had all kinds of great stories about great ratings, winning timeslots...how could they NOT??
Finding the right host proves to be a challenge. Depending on how you count it up, it took them either five and a half months or a full year to find the perfect advice lady...her name is Arlene. Once they've found her, it only takes a day or two for "Ask Arlene" to be up and running on the station.
The day of the big launch, Arlene has a bit of a mishap involving three Valium. Jennifer steps up as "Arlene" to answer caller questions. Wow, Ms. Marlowe is GOOD at this!! She winds up taking calls for...oh, who really knows how long? It's a while, we know that. Everything is fun and games until one of Jennifer's bits of advice may have gotten someone hurt.
It's a fun show with a big message. Curl up with the phone and give us a call...we'd be glad to tell you what to do!! First thing you should do right now: push "play"!!

The Ripper Returns!! Well...not 'returns' really. He never left...it was a full hour. He's still Rippin' right along. We're the ones who had to go away!! WE'RE back (and a Happy New Year to ya!) and ready to catch you up on the exploits of Cincinnati's hottest new TV host with the most.
So, when we left you last time, things were pretty rosy for the good Doctor. His "Rip Tide" persona saved his contract breaching butt just before airtime. Now, he's having a blast letting his ID run wild in the form of his alter-ego, sleazeball creation.
How far will Rip go? How far will Johnny LET him go? Can Johnny even control this rampaging spandex menace? Find out as we take on "Dr. Fever and Mr. Tide - PART 2"!!
Got your skates laced up? Spandex on? It sounds like you Gotta Dance!!!...er, I mean you Gotta Push PLAY!!

Johnny needs money...so what else is new? Big difference today, Johnny's picked up a side gig! He's been tapped to host a new Teen Dance show in the Cincinnati market!! (Hold on...Johnny FEVER? Dance Party?) Yeah, this one looked questionable from the start!!
Johnny may have been persuaded by the pretty face hiding a shark of a producer named Avis. Avis lured Johnny in with too much Champagne and too few clothes. He signed a fairly ironclad contract. It wasn't until WAY too late he discovered this whole "dance" scene had nothing to do with Rock-n-Roll. It was all about the hated DISCO!!
Johnny's back is to the wall. If he doesn't get his sequined booty on the "Gotta Dance" stage he will be sued back to the Stone Age. Have no fear, the Ripper is here!! Johnny creates an "alter-ego" he calls "Rip Tide." Rip saves the day and becomes a HIT in Cincinnati. The kids can't get enough of the sad-eyed, middle-aged man in the clown suit who plays the disco hits!!
The original DF&MT was a full hour the night it premiered. It was broken into two half hours for syndication. In the interest of our sanity, and to keep you from slogging through a two-hour podcast, we're breaking it down, too. This is PART ONE! Got your skates laced up? Spandex on?

HOLIDAY RE-RELEASE! (We're re-running this classic on November 22nd, 2023...the 45th anniversary of the "first" WKRP Turkey Drop. As God is our witness, here's to the start of a wonderful Holiday Season!! Enjoy!!)
Hey!! It's Allen and Donna Stare! It's time for another episode of the "WKRP-Cast"...and this one's a doozy! It's "Turkeys Away", the most popular and most famous episode of WKRP ever conceived!! Who thought of it? Who wrote it? Is it true? Were any turkeys harmed in the making of this episode?? These questions and more will be answered this time as we tackle the 800lb. Turkey of sitcom episodes. The WKRP-Cast is on the air...grab your brains, fellow babies, this one is going to whack you upside the head like a sack of wet cement!!
YOU KNOW YOU MAKE US WANNA... This is proving to be a lot of fun. After the ep, we'll be doing some shout outs to friends and listeners. You can completely skip it if you want...you won't miss any episode goodies...but, then again, you never know if we're going to be talking about you!!

We meet WKRP's cleaning lady, Cora...and she's got a problem. Her "little boy" Arnold just isn't all that into school. He's 16 and finding more success on the streets than in the classroom. Cora has turned to Venus Flytrap for his advice and help. Could he maybe have a talk with young Arnold?
Young Arnold turns out to be a middle-aged man...but we'll have to overlook that for the story. He's just as big, tricky and mean as his mama said. He also does NOT understand chemistry. Venus bets Arnold he can get Arnold to understand the atom in two minutes.
What happens next is one of the most amazing chemistry lessons ever aired on a sitcom. It won a Humanitas Award for script writer Hugh Wilson. It's also a pretty darn good piece of visual learning and metaphor.
Push "play" and join us in the storeroom as Professor Venus takes center stage. We're about to learn all about the atom and, if there's time...we'll do a little something on magnets.

There's been an accident at the Tarlek home!! The kids are fine...so's Lucille. No, the victim of this tragedy is Greenpeace. Not ringing a bell? Greenpeace is the name of Bunny's pet frog. She's become something of an environmentalist at the tender age of 9. Greenpeace got in the way of Herb's cabinet painting and wound up...pink.
There's no 911 for Frogs! The vet won't even make a house call. Herb decides to bring his sad little shoe box with the holes cut in the top into work hoping for...something. Can one of the gang help Herb with some magical frog resuscitation? Not likely, but we're game to watch them give it a try!
Greenpeace gets doused with coffee water, prodded by a podiatrist and ultimately expires on Herb's desk. When the day is done, and Herb is forced to confront a concerned Bunny...well, you'll have to push 'play' and see which way this thing is going to hop!

Andy, with a little help from Jennifer, convinces the Big Guy to give his speech in front of the troops to bolster his confidence.
It's a pretty boring speech. Sorry, Art...but, wow! Snoozerino! As Art drones on, the gang is lost in their own thoughts. We are able...through the magic of TV, and the incredibly hard work of a talented team of set, lighting and design people...to peer into everyone's thoughts and Daydreams!!
Herb is running his own country...well, so's Bailey for that matter...and Les is reporting from war-torn London. Venus is doing standup and Johnny is a whacked out rockstar (more whacked out than usual). The whole gang gets a chance to live their fantasies. Too bad Andy's doesn't go any further than the programming office.
Wake up! You really should pay attention. Splash your face with a little cold water, then push "play."

Sunday night was the big Charity Auction at Art Carlson's church. On Monday morning we find that only Bailey and Herb were in attendance. ONLY Herb bought anything...a painting. Herb didn't buy it because he likes it. He was just looking for some kudos from the Big Guy. Now Herb is out a hundred bucks, he's got a painting he doesn't like and his best buddy Les, who was supposed to split it with him, got called away to Dayton!
What's a salesman to do? How about sell the painting?? He sells it to EVERYBODY! Bailey, who loved it on Sunday but didn't buy, decides she has to have it. Wait a minute...it might actually be valuable!! Should Herb sell? Hold onto it? The pressure is making him wheeze.
Grab a calculator, Fellow Babies...you're gonna need it. By the time this one's all over you'll probably be out forty bucks yourself. Push 'play'...then put your hand on your billfold.

It's January in Cincinnati and the heat is out in the Flimm Building!! The Morning Show must go on, so our resident Doctor has ordered in a special prescription. It comes in a brown bottle and may or may not have been purchased at a hardware store.
The concoction has Johnny seeing things!! Is that Mama Carlson in the hallway?? Surely not...she never drops by unannounced. Then again, the cold makes people do some strange things.
Jennifer and Johnny are toasting Pale Gray...Mama is toasting Hank's magnificent shoulders and Andy is feeling the least bit violated by Mama's roaming hands. Keep your coat on, hold your mug out and get ready to take the chill off. Oh, hey!...Venus is here! (why is Venus here again??). It's a madcap morning you won't want to miss. Take a deep pull on that bottle and hit 'play.'

Is it really that time of year again? It seems mere weeks since we were scarfing down eggnog at Jennie-poo's place. Now we're partying at the station. Herb brought the ham!! (at least, we think it's ham...ask him if it can spoil).
Art might be cheaping out on the Christmas bonuses this year...he's done it in the past. Nobody is happy and Art's in a haze brought on my some of Dr. Fever's baked goods.
What's that??! Chains!? A GHOST of Grandpa!!?? Hang on a minute...this isn't one of those cheesy rip-offs of Dickens' "Christmas Carol"...is it?? Oh, yeah, it IS!! Jennifer's in the past, Johnny's in the future and Venus is presiding over the bullpen. The podcast is a blast, but you don't want to miss these visuals. Pop on your Shout! Factory disk, add rum liberally to the eggnog and hit 'play'. Grab a brownie if you're so inclined....or save it for later if you're driving. This one isn't over until the checks are written!!

WELCOME BACK!! Les is a consummate newsman...when the news is farm related. As Johnny says, Les's stories have that unmistakable 'barnyard aroma.'
Andy has an assignment for the News Beacon of the Ohio Valley. Mrs. Carlson is a big supporter of a local children's hospital. The Hospital is in dire need of community support. Andy hands Les the info and tells him to go down there and do a story on it. Now.
Les, in an inspired bit of delegation, hands the story to Bailey. Truth be told (which doesn't happen a lot in this episode) Les would much rather be working on saving the endangered Rutabaga (yeah, you'll have to talk to Lester about that one).
Bailey goes to the Hospital. After being battered around a bit by the administrator, she's finally given a tour. Upon her return to the station, Bailey writes a beautiful, heart-string tugging story about her experience. Too bad it's all a lie.
Les doesn't know it's a lie, so he's more than happy to read Bailey's story on the air...after a threat from Andy.
Suddenly people are afraid of losing their jobs, the station is in fear of losing its license...this is AWFUL!!
Three minutes later, everything's fine. To find out exactly HOW everything could turn out so well...you're going to have to watch! Or, better yet, why don't you LISTEN!? We've got all the answers this week...even if very few of them are true.
Oh, and as a bonus, we've got a five minute-plus report on the Whoopee Cushion! And we're not the least bit sorry about it!! (You can thank us later).
Push 'play' fellow babies...somebody will be with you shortly to tell you fibs and fallacies...but you're gonna love it!!

Herb has been selected for jury duty. Our legal system may never be the same. He tries, of course, to get out of it. If only Andy hadn't been there to tip the Big Guy about the legal mumbo-jumbo!! Andy's concerned about the overdue clients, soooo...
Herb's off to jury duty, Andy's taking Herb's chair and Venus is getting a chance to P.D. in Andy's place. What could go wrong...right?
Sales isn't as easy as it looks, especially when you're selling WKRP. Andy adopts some worrying Herbisms as he attempts to out-maneuver some of Herb's deadbeat clients. Venus is working on an ulcer as he fights it out with Johnny. Hasn't he been watching ANDY fight it out with Johnny? The whole ordeal has the guys talking in unison, Andy putting goo in his hair and the Big Guy is heading out for a steam. What we've learned here is, when the going gets tough...the tough go for a steam!

WELCOME BACK! Road trip! Herb, Andy and Art have piled into the Cordoba headed to Dayton. What do they hope to accomplish on the mean streets of Dayton? They want to pitch a major advertiser! Vicky von Vickey Jeans is based in Dayton, of course, and the Mighty KRP wants a taste of those denim dollars.
Andy's on slide projector, Mickey's at the bar, Art's having a fruit fix and Herb has gotten himself in a fix. If anyone should speak to you in rhyme, tell them another time.
Your suite is ready at the "Hotel Oceanview"...just put a quarter in the podcast player and hit "play."
