Radio didn't used to be all about corporate consolidation and out-of-market voicetrackers.  There was a time when we had full staffs! And with that many dysfunctional people in one building, some pretty wild stuff used to happen - both on and off the air. Chances are, if you worked in this business, you've got some crazy stories to tell. Crazy Radio Stories is the podcast that tells the world how radio USED to be.  Few rules, and in some cases, even fewer morals.  If you've got a crazy radio story to tell, email us - crazyradiostories@gmail.com.
