This episode, I hang out with fellow Denver radio guys Big Rob and Mike Sanchez to swap stories from our lives behind the mic. From wild moments on-air to the chaos that happens off-air, we dive into what it’s really like working in radio—and why we still love it. Just three radio lifers shootin’ the breeze, crackin’ each other up, and pulling back the curtain on the business.

Before group texts and corporate memos, there was a whole lotta chaos, late nights, and questionable decisions. This week, I’m joined by one of the OGs who lived it all with me. My longtime friend "Danger Dean" Nedens hops on the mic to swap stories from our early days in radio. Some hilarious, some ridiculous, and all very real. From blown breaks to station stunts that would never fly today, this episode is a total flashback to when we were just figuring it out and somehow making it work. It’s a messy, funny trip down memory lane with one of my favorite people in the business.

Radio is a really small world! Just ask Ian Rambo, a fellow crazy radio guy I randomly met on the streets of New York City. We’re talking his wild journey into the business, on-air screwups, and his perfect radio dream gig.

This week on Hardee Hangout, Dan talks with rock legend Gene Simmons about what the music business needs right now—and yeah, he even got him to spill on the weirdest thing he’s ever licked.

What happens when you mix a former MTV News producer, a Sony radio journalist,, and two radio people with no filter? You get this episode. Annemarie Jacar joins Dan for a wild ride through her insane music industry stories—from backstage chaos to booking bands to running into total divas (and rock stars who were surprisingly cool).

It’s stories about life, music, and the world from the tall, slightly twisted guy whose entire existence revolves around radio. I’m Dan Hardee, and this is where I overshare all the weird, hilarious, and unbelievable stuff I’ve seen on and off the air. Buckle up—it’s gonna get fun.
