On today’s episode:

• Wilkes-Barre Makes a National Top 50 List... Unfortunately! — Wilkes-Barre has made a list alongside some of America's biggest cities! Sounds like something to celebrate, right? Well, not so fast. Terminix ranked Wilkes-Barre number 46 on its list of America's most rodent-infested cities. Prospector gets a little too excited about the national recognition before realizing exactly what we're being recognized for. Hey, we're right up there with New York, Los Angeles and Philadelphia! Unfortunately, it's because of rats.

• A Baby Stroller That ROCKS! — Prospector spots a dad pushing two kids through his neighborhood in a stroller equipped with a sound system that could rival some concert setups. Forget lullabies! This guy has turned his kids' ride into a rolling rock concert, complete with serious bass. Apparently, becoming a parent doesn't mean giving up your hobbies. You just install them in the stroller.

• Captain Obvious — he's back with the information you need... except you already had it! Captain Obvious delivers another round of painfully obvious advice and helpful reminders nobody actually needed.

• What Should Someone New to NEPA Do First? — if someone just moved to Northeast Pennsylvania, what's the first thing they should experience? We ask listeners to share their favorite places, local traditions, restaurants, attractions, and experiences that make NEPA such a great place to call home. No jokes, no sarcasm, just a positive welcome to our newest neighbors and some great suggestions for discovering everything our area has to offer.

• Classic Rock Lullaby for Nickelback Tickets — we're giving you a chance to win tickets to see Nickelback at the PPL Center in Allentown on February 8, 2027! We turn familiar classic rock songs into lullabies, and listeners try to identify the songs to win their way into the concert.

Plus more weird, funny, local, and completely unnecessary moments from the show.

On today’s episode:

• Babe Ruth Bombs One in Wilkes-Barre — 100 years ago, Babe Ruth reportedly crushed a baseball at Artillery Park in Wilkes-Barre that traveled an estimated 650 feet into Kirby Park! Prospector wonders why one of the most incredible home runs in baseball history isn't a bigger part of NEPA's bragging rights. We tell everybody we're two hours from New York, but somehow forget to mention the Babe Ruth moonshot!

• Scranton Travel Advisory — between the Steamtown Marathon and United Neighborhood Centers' National Bakery 80th Anniversary Block Party, getting around Scranton this weekend could require some creative navigation. Prospector delivers a special PSA parody to help drivers survive the road closures, detours, and confusion.

• inTEXTicated — another collection of regrettable text messages from people who probably should have put their phones away several drinks earlier. Bad decisions, questionable spelling, and messages that seemed like a great idea at the time.

• Prospector's Rant: Confusing Food Labels — when does food actually go bad? Best By, Sell By, Use By, Expiration Date... why does everything have a different label? Prospector is fed up with trying to figure out whether the food in his refrigerator is still good or about to kill him. Can't we just have one date that everybody understands?

Plus more weird, funny, local, and completely unnecessary moments from the show.

On today’s episode:

• Captain Obvious and Your Lost Keys — can't find your keys? Captain Obvious is here with some incredibly helpful advice that probably won't help you find them any faster.

• Aerosmith & Friends Is Happening! — Aerosmith has announced two shows at the Hollywood Bowl, bringing the band back together with an impressive lineup of rock stars and special guests. Prospector looks at who's coming, including Slash, Sammy Hagar, Billy Idol, Heart, and Run-DMC, and imagines a few additional friends who definitely aren't on the guest list.

• Freeland Has a Gazebo Crisis! — the gazebo in Freeland's Martin Square has been closed because of damage and safety concerns. Prospector cannot believe we've reached a point where society can't even maintain a gazebo. It's a roof, some railings, and a place to sit! The situation may be so desperate that it's time for Gazebo Rescue!

• Prospector's Prank Call — Prospector calls a business looking to organize a fundraiser. Sounds like a wonderful idea, until he reveals the absolutely ridiculous amount of money he expects to raise. What starts as a simple fundraising conversation turns into an increasingly absurd financial proposition.

Plus more weird, funny, local, and completely unnecessary moments from the show.

On today’s episode:

• The Things Prospector Believes — another collection of Prospector’s personal rules, observations and theories about how the world works. Are they facts? Not necessarily. Does he believe them anyway? Absolutely.

• We Need to Respect Nature More — after a woman gets stuck thigh-deep in the mud at the drained Lackawanna State Park lake and firefighters spend more than an hour getting her out, Prospector arrives at an important conclusion: nature needs boundaries. A railing. A bench. Something that says, “This is the view. You’ve gone far enough.”

• Spirit Stores Are Popping Up All Over — it's that time of year when the fitness center you always wondered how they kept open suddenly becomes a Spirit Halloween. Prospector looks at the annual transformation of empty storefronts into temporary Halloween headquarters.

• Add “Moist” to a Movie Title — take a perfectly good movie and make it instantly uncomfortable by adding one word: MOIST. Moist Fiction. A Hard Moist Night. Young Moist Frankenstein. Listeners help us ruin Hollywood one movie at a time.

Plus more weird, funny, local, and completely unnecessary moments from the show.

• Prospector’s Picky Pet Peeves: Steamtown Marathon Edition — with the Steamtown Marathon coming up, Prospector finds plenty to complain about. Because apparently even thousands of people running 26.2 miles isn't enough to escape his petty grievances.

• Top 5 Ways Tacos Are Poorly Designed — we can build a phone that recognizes your face, but we still can’t build a taco that gets all the meat into your mouth. Prospector examines the structural flaws of one of our favorite foods, from catastrophic shell failure to half the filling ending up on the plate.

On today’s episode:

• Something a Teacher Said That You STILL Remember — for World Teachers’ Day, we ask about that one thing a teacher told you years ago that somehow never left your head. Maybe it was encouraging, hilarious, completely wrong or something you can still hear in their voice today. Listeners share the teacher comments that stuck with them.

• One of ROCK 107’s Part-Timers May Be a Superhero — after hearing what our own Roy did, Prospector realizes we may have had a superhero working among us this entire time. Now the only question is what to call him: The Mighty Biv? Captain Biv? Biv Man? The Incredible Biv? The Amazing Biv?

• inTEXTicated — more questionable decisions made when alcohol and a cell phone team up. We dig into another batch of texts that probably looked a lot better the night before.

• Prospector’s Prank Call — Prospector calls a fast-food restaurant looking for a breakfast sandwich. Except he doesn't want the egg. Or the cheese. Or the meat. In fact, he ONLY wants the biscuit. Nothing else. It shouldn't be this difficult. Somehow, it is.

Plus more weird, funny, and completely unnecessary moments from the show.

• Halloween Pet Costumes — Prospector’s wife wants to get a costume for Puka, and Prospector admits his reluctance has less to do with being against pet costumes and more to do with being lazy. That leads to a better idea: we want to see YOUR pets dressed for Halloween! Show them off on the ROCK 107 social media pages.

• The Halloween House of Peckville Has Prospector Peeved — Peckville already has a famous Christmas house. Now there's a Halloween House too? Prospector has some sneering indignation about this disturbing trend and wonders how long it'll be before somebody unveils the Peckville Presidents’ Day House.

• Moving My Kid Led to a Horrifying Discovery — Prospector helps his stepdaughter move and takes some unwanted stuff to the dumpster, where he encounters a mattress so horrifying it looks like it belongs in a crime scene. And naturally, Prospector makes the situation worse.

On today’s episode:

• Top 5 Reasons Scranton Is Better Than Williamsport — nothing personal, Williamsport. Okay, maybe a little personal. Prospector makes the case for why the Electric City has you beat.

• Am I A Jerk? — Prospector is sitting in the doctor’s office, finds a magazine article about cycling he wants to keep... and rips it right out of the magazine. The receptionist immediately calls him out. Is he a jerk, or is an old waiting-room magazine fair game?

• What Does “Plain” Mean on a Burger? — you order a burger “plain.” What should show up? Just meat and a bun?Or does “plain” still include the standard ketchup, mustard, pickles and onions? Apparently, “plain” isn't nearly as clear as it sounds.

• Prospector’s Prank Call — Prospector calls a guy with some exciting news: his tickets to a male dance revue are ready! One problem. He insists he never ordered them. Prospector is just trying to make sure the man doesn't miss the show he absolutely, positively says he isn't going to.

Yes. The steering.
