Doug Collins came in to co-host the Brian Oake Show.  Brian is out with an illness.  Please send good vibes his way.  We talked about the passing of the incredible Slim Dunlap.  We also talked about the year that was 2024 and what Doug has coming up in 2025.  Enjoy!

Lizz Winstead!  Lizz mother-effin' Winstead was on the show today to promote Vajamma Party at the Parkway Theater and her year in review show (year 15 and it's fantastic).  We'll link to tickets in the  promos.  Great conversation  and a GIGANTIC holiday food tip!

Our good friend, Ben Cook-Feltz stopped by to bring us some holiday cheer with some of the great tunes off his Merry BCF-ing Christmas album.  He's doing a show with special guests this Sunday, 18/8 from 2pm-4ish on Sunday at the Cedar Cultural Center.  This is a kid-friendly show.  It all benefits the Rein In Sarcoma foundation.  Cheers!
