D&D - WKRK - Aug 4, 2005

I have to admit, I was not an everyday listener of D&D when they were on WKRK. I worked a lot of afternoons when I first moved to the Detroit area in the middle of the last decade and the days I did listen when I wasn't working, I rarely listened straight through from 3 to 7. I bet a lot of listeners were that way; listen in their care driving home from work and maybe flip the radio on while eating dinner. After listening to most of a month's worth of WKRK shows, it seems to me like they had something special there that's going to be hard to duplicate. It's like there was ALWAYS something big going on. In July and the first week of August of 2005, there was the D&D Dating Game, MindCandy's possible move to California, a D&D Trivia Contest, Gamer Trough beta testing, and the in-studio appearances of the "Hot Coffee" Grand Theft Auto porn, a severed foot, and a curry / hookah bash. Wherever D&D end up in 2010, I hope they can recapture the magic they had at 97.1 (and at 101.5).

Today's featured show included appearances by Gavin (from Parker & the Man's crew) and Gregg Henson regarding a deathly boring WKRK employee meeting, as well as callers opinions on that topic as well as their drug and snoring experiences *coughJeffcough*, public marriage proposals, and their earliest childhood memories. Other segments included a possible Mike Tyson porn, an awesome Gamer Trough "Real Men of Genius" parody, poop in religious ceremonies, an interview with a hero from the Toronto airport crash, two murder stories (think road rage and a nagging wife), and a Buenos Aires "Batman"-themed hotel room.

Here's the show:
