Today Dick and Jackie offer up a re-cap of the big Purtan wedding last weekend. It may not have been a same-sex marriage, but I think even President Obama and Joe Biden would have had a good time at the reception! Plus, with Mother's Day the same weekend... Jackie tells us about a special gift she got from her 10-year-old son Charlie that warmed her heart and froze her "nether regions". And speaking of "Mothering" - Time Magazine's new "Breast Feeding Cover" is all the rage - and causing some rage as well with it's touting of "Total Attachment Parenting". From NEVER letting your baby cry to letting the "baby" nurse well into toddlerhood and sleep with Mom and Dad indefinitely, Dick thinks the doctor behind the theory should be put in a Time Out! From Wedding Bells to Baby Blues... listen in on the conversation right now! And don't forget to check out Dick's daily topical comedy blog every Monday through Thursday @ dickpurtan.com

It's a big weekend for Dick, his wife Gail and the whole Purtan family as daughter Jill (#3 of 6) prepares to walk the last mile... um... I mean... down the aisle! She's asked both of her parents to give her away this time since Dick did it alone last time and it just didn't take! Join the proud parents, the blushing Bride-to-be, and her sister Jackie, as they reveal the inside secrets of the impending nuptials (Yes... Dick will be leading the group in the traditional YMCA) to the drama that ensued when four month old nephew Brayden was chosen as the ring bearer (over the other 5 male cousins)... it's all here for your listening pleasure. (Except for the wedding night... there are just some things that a Dad doesn't want to know!)

Today, former Purtan's Person Joe Noune re-joins Dick and Jackie for a "rectangular table" discussion about everything from bizarre car-color names to Osama bin Laden's strange desire to keep VEEP Joe Biden alive. Throw into the mix a few (true!) parakeet stories, the John Edwards debacle,  and our unfortunate decision to download (and actually use) the new "Ugly Meter" App during the Podcast - and you've got for some interesting listening. Pour a cup of coffee (Colombian if you have it - as everyone knows they grow great coffee and great hookers there) and join us!

Today Dick is back broadcasting from up North after dodging the not cold, not snowy, ridiculously mild March and April Michigan weather by going to Florida. He is joined by his "regular" fellow Podcaster daughter Jackie, along with special guest star... Dr. Phil. (Okay, it's actually his daughter Jessica - But she is a psychologist and has much nicer hair and a thinner mustache). They touch on everything from exercise & eating habits to Jessica's 8 year old son Jack who given recent events in Colombia... may end up becoming a Secret Service Agent. Buckle your seat belts... it's gonna be a bumpy ride! 

Today Dick sits down with Detroit Radio veteran, former program director, teacher and "observer" Dick Kernan to talk about the immense changes that have affected so many people in the broadcast industry... including the listeners. Kernan was the first program director of the legendary Detroit Rock station WRIF (Baby!) in the late 1960's. He's been involved in the radio and media business ever since. From former Detroit jock Howard Stern all the way to the legendary Dick Clark, Purtan and Kernan share their thoughts on the "State of The (Radio) Union"... and Purtan offers up his personal experiences with both Stern and Dick Clark.

In today's installment, Dick talks to his daughter Jill's son and daughter (okay, his grandkids) Matthew (17) and Julia (14) during a visit to the family vacation home in Florida. They cover everything from their career aspirations (yep - they both want to go into broadcasting!) to mis-pronounced words and the movie,"The Hunger Games". And speaking of "Hunger" even the kids notice that waiters and waitresses tend to get nicer the closer it gets to "tip time".  Now if Dick could only get the kids to pick up the check once in a while...

Today Dick reveals where he's been the last few weeks, what he's been doing, and how he learned the "definitive scientific" explanation as to why some women give birth to either all girls or all boys. Plus... Jackie tells the story of how a nurse she knows told her how incredibly hard life is for her, because she's just sooooooooooo gosh darn beautiful! (The other woman, not Jackie!) And I'll explain why you won't be seeing the big, bearded"Tax Master Man" guy on TV anymore!

While Dick takes one more Podcast off, he once again leaves three of his six daughters in charge. Good idea? You be the Supreme Cou..., uh,  judge. Join Jackie, Jennifer, and this time, baby sister Julie, as they talk about everything from changing diapers to the REAL location of the G-Spot.  It's a conversation you won't want to miss (although, Dick most likely will!)

Dick is taking a long weekend and, with some trepidation, has left this edition of the Podcast in the semi-capable hands of daughters Jackie, (his regular co-host) and two of his five other daughters, Jennifer and Jill. With "Dad" away... the girls cover a few topics that probably wouldn't have made the Podcast otherwise:  From what Moms are really reading these days (oh my!) to the importance of Oscar Mayer Little Weiners at family gatherings... the girls let it all hang out.  Think of it as "The View" without the cat fights.  Enjoy... chances are, Dick's never going to let this happen again!
