  • Radio: Where You May or May Not Get Out of It What You Put Into It
    Preston is celebrating his birthday and Chris is recovering from a stent in the hospital, but the team still gets together to chat about radio and, on this particular episode, take a random trip down memory lane. Radio Disney finally closes its doors, making the inevitable official and prompting the team to reminisce about their childhoods as budding radio freaks. I heart continues massive layoffs of on air staff and blames Covid, but is Covid really the culprit? Just in time for the holidays, we break down the pros and cons of the various styles of pledge drives and radiothons. Finally, be sure to stay tuned until the end to hear the debut of the new weekly feature that we think you will really enjoy. Welcome to the last month of 2020 on Radio connection live!

  • The Clean Version... Or Not (Uncut)
    Chris was away dealing with a family emergency, so Tim joined Jamie, Preston and Ashley to swap stories and share perspectives. They discuss the pros and cons of voice tracking, the so-called "clean" versions of songs that so often become the only versions we know, and Tim goes off on various tirades that lead their discussion to all kinds of unexpected places. Note: As a special treat, we have posted here the "uncut," long-form version of this episode. In the middle of the show, our Zoom meeting ended abruptly, and we had to quickly re-group and continue. You'll hear in this cut everything that transpired between segments.

  • Bonus: Remembering JFK’s Assassination 57 Years Later
    Happy Thanksgiving! As we reflect on how thankful we are for the gift of radio, we present to you a special episode to commemorate the 57th anniversary of the assassination of President John F Kennedy, which took place on November 22, 1963. Like stations across the country at that time, KLIF in Dallas, otherwise a top 40 station, was forced to abandon its entire format to cover the news of this horrific event as it took place. Their skill in doing so is nothing short of remarkable. Join us as we take this look back, starting with Chris’s introduction, and remember why we should be thankful every day to have radio available to us.

  • Something's Missing

    Once again, our "News Nuggets" emphasize the stark contrast between big corporate radio and the "little guys." We recap the CMA Awards, which were covered on many stations, but were glaringly absent from others. Jamie introduces us to his return to Sirius XM. If you're listening late at night, in the overnight hours, you may have noticed that something is missing: the overnight DJ. On many stations, that once-faithful all-night companion is gone for good. Does that matter? What is the role of an all-night DJ if not many people are listening during that shift anyway? We discuss, and Chris shares a story that was related to him by one Blair Garner.

  • Where Have All the DJS Gone?
    It has been a bittersweet week in the world of radio. Entercom and Urban One have announced a major trade-off, a few format changes have been announced, and EMF has dropped K-Love Classics with the promise of more and better things in 2021. But then there are the budget cuts at iHeart. In the midst of an economy already laden with increasing unemployment and decreasing resources, iHeart stations across the country have put an axe through their local talent pool. What does this mean, why is it happening, and where do we go from here? Is it really #BecauseCovid or is that just an excuse? We go through the cuts and respond to them. Time to get real.

  • Bonus: Election 2020 Recap... So Far

    So, yesterday was Election Day--that day when every politically-minded person in the US is glued to their TV or radio, listening to the seemingly endless stream of commentary as they wait for the results to come in from each state, as if it were the scoreboard of the World Series. Beginning at 6 PM Eastern, Jamie, Chris and Preston divided and conquered as they listened to stations and networks from around the country to see how each station was covering the events of Election Night. Join us as we recap the good, the bad and the ugly. Later, Tim joins in to add his unique take.

  • Where the Past Meets the Present

    Tim O'Connor makes another guest appearance on the show, and in a blast from RCL's past, Jamie lets him host. You see, Tim hosted RCL in 2015 and 2016 when it aired live on KJSC Radio. With Tim back in the host's chair and Chris away, the crew goes all over the board as they have a freewheeling conversation about pretty much anything and everything. Be sure to listen until the end to hear an outtake for the ages! Also, listen to the original 2015 intro at the beginning of the show. After 5 years, can you recognize that voice?
