Listen Later

Hey Listener, gas up your Delorean, because this week we’re going back in time with Chris Pearce to talk about WKRP in Cincinnati. He is an avid fan of television series from a bygone era and an educator that works pop culture into his classroom. Topics this week include: It wouldn’t be WYI? Without a botched intro by your host. Documenting your career through comics. The joy of being a teacher in the Summer. Twitter sucks, a recurring theme of the show. Alien the High School Play and Aliens on Ice! I just want to chill on my couch and game. The jump from radios to HD televisions. Scouring the dollar bins with a wide net collector. Hey, slow down when you’re reading. A dude that knows multiple people who are trying to complete the entire run of Conan the Barbarian. Trying to know as much as you can about a TV series. NBC rules Thursday night. WKRP characters in one word. The MayTag repair man. Burnout and people that can wear sunglasses inside. Redneck Terminator. Dunkin’ on Dayton. Ohio talk. NYC talk. Loni Anderson. Marrying the Bandit and a good run. Herb meets HR in 2023. The Other Gal. Sharing WKRP with high school students. The Who and Cincinnati. That time your host forgets what Gummo is called. Rollerball font. Yeah, this is the show. Full on bored. The heavy lifting of MASH. The Cosby Show now. Regionalism. Chris still has cable and wouldn’t mind sitting through it. How do you take in a new show? We love Oz. Night of the Living Dead. American Zombie. The Golden Retriever of TV shows. Baby Billy’s Bible Bonkers.
