The third episode of Rediscovered reviews the 1989 direct-to-video movie Bail Out starring David Hasselhoff and Linda Blair. You might also know the film by the title W.B., Blue, and the Bean or its other title Wings of Freedom. But no matter what you want to call it, Jason & Wyatt watched all 88 minutes of the film and are ready to talk about it!

Directed by Max Kleven, Bail Out follows three bounty hunters who must save the kidnapped daughter of a millionaire from a Mexican drug cartel. In our podcast, we give you the lowdown behind the creators and actors in the movie. And of course, you'll hear our reactions and whether we will recommend that you rediscover the film or leave it in the past.

On the latest Memory Jogger podcast, Jason and Wyatt revisit their time working in radio during the mid to late '90s. If you listened to MJ 10: First Jobs episode, you'll remember that we worked together for about a year after high school at WCPA-AM & WQYX-FM in Clearfield, PA. Wyatt then worked part time at WINU-AM in Highland, IL after joining the Air Force. Jason went on to obtain a radio broadcasting degree at Toccoa Falls College where he worked, and even managed for a time, the student radio station WTXR-FM in Toccoa, GA.

Some of our fondest memories are working in radio and probably the main reason we began podcasting in the first place. We go a little deeper into our time together at WCPA/WQYX and also talk individually about our experiences in radio after that time. You'll even hear some clips from some of our on-air work during the podcast!
