| 2/15/26 |  Left of the Dial, Beetlejuice's Day-O, and Jeremiah was a Bullfrog E119 | Grief has a soundtrack—and so does joy. We open with a heartfelt salute to Catherine O’Hara, tracing how a single scene, a laugh line, or a voice can linger long after the credits, then wander into the wild terrain where memory and music meet. From Beetlejuice’s dinner table possession to Home Alone’s enduring comfort, we reflect on how film and song become the waypoints we use to navigate time. That doorway leads us to a run of resonant passings and timeless cuts: Demond Wilson’s place in Sa... | 33m 06s | ||||||
| 2/8/26 | From Led Zep IV vs Dark Side to Nevermind vs Ten: Wax Wars! The Rock Album Battles E118 | A listener threw down the gauntlet and we answered: Wax Wars, the ultimate rock album face-off. We’re talking full-catalog giants and needle-drop staples—Fleetwood Mac versus Eagles, Zeppelin versus Floyd, The Who versus Queen, Clash versus Ramones, U2 versus R.E.M., and more—decided by a mix of song strength, cultural impact, and those stubborn memories that never leave. The fun isn’t just in who wins; it’s in how certain records force you to choose between a perfect side and a perfect song,... | 40m 52s | ||||||
| 2/1/26 | The Uncle Floyd Show, and I Can't Live Without My Radio E117 | We trace the scrappy brilliance of the Uncle Floyd Show and how a UHF oddity opened doors for punk and pop heroes, then jump across decades of songs that shaped our lives. From Dylan’s Desire to The Cult’s club thunder, we connect memories, charts, and the moments that stick. • Uncle Floyd’s low-budget TV chaos and big cultural impact • Ramones, Squeeze, Blue Öyster Cult, early Jon Bon Jovi appearances • Lennon and Bowie fandom and references • A campus “milk bandit” break-in detour • Dylan’... | 30m 05s | ||||||
| 1/25/26 | Challenger Shuttle Disaster, Batman TV Series, and Dire Straits "Skateaway" E116 | A countdown, a cheer, and then a white bloom in the sky. We start with that January morning when Challenger lifted off with a teacher aboard and a nation watching, and we unpack how a routine launch became a rupture—O-rings, cold air, and the way live TV freezes time. The story isn’t just technical; it’s personal. Sneaking a screen at work, bargaining for a miracle, and remembering how hope hangs on for a few impossible seconds. From there, we follow the thread of wonder into a brighter palet... | 36m 51s | ||||||
| 1/18/26 | 40 Most-Played Classic Rock Songs Of 2025, Joan Jett "Bad Reputation", and Been Caught Stealing E115 | What do the 40 most-played classic rock songs of 2025 say about our listening habits? We dive into the national radio data and find a universe powered by stadium anthems, late-70s polish, and 80s hooks, with Bon Jovi and Guns N’ Roses dominating the top slots. Along the way, we weigh personal favorites against programming realities, marvel at why Crazy Train still feels underplayed, and ask the big question: how did an entire decade—the 60s—slip off the radar of “classic” rock radio? We move... | 30m 05s | ||||||

| 1/4/26 | 2025 Best Selling Rock Vinyl, The Sound of Silence, and Once in a Lifetime E112 | We pull apart 2025’s top rock vinyl list, trace why greatest hits still rule turntables, and celebrate the albums that outlived their moment.

| 12/28/25 | WPLJ Top 95 Albums of 1980 and Favorite MIMS Episodes of 2025 E111 | We count down WPLJ’s Top 95 Albums of 1980 and trace how New York’s buying habits shaped a year when punk, new wave, and classic rock all shared the shelf.

| 12/21/25 | A Charlie Brown Christmas, The Grinch, and Bruce Springsteen Sings Santa Claus is Comin' to Town E110 | The holidays don’t just look a certain way—they sound a certain way. We dive into how a fragile cartoon tree, a swingy piano motif, and a handful of offbeat movie moments grew into the soundtrack of December. From the first Peanuts special to stop‑motion Santa to a green recluse in Whoville, we trace the songs, voices, and production choices that turned seasonal TV and film into enduring ritual. • Charlie Brown Christmas as a symbol of hope and the choice to use children’s voices • Vince Gua... | 32m 00s | ||||||
| 12/14/25 | Van Halen Vs. Guns N’ Roses and Why AC/DC 'Back In Black' Still Rules, Plus Elton John and The Jim Carroll Band E109 | We roll into our 80s hard rock showdown, where we put ACDC’s Back in Black, Van Halen’s 1984, and Guns N’ Roses’ Appetite for Destruction under the brightest light we know: track-by-track comparison. Jump meets It’s So Easy; Panama squares off with Nightrain; Hot for Teacher tangles with Paradise City. The fun isn’t just the score—it’s how those matchups rewire your nostalgia.

| 12/7/25 | December 8: John Lennon, Loss, and Legacy, And The Beatles Anthology E108 | A smiling John Lennon on Monday Night Football. A blunt 1970 interview that cut through the post‑Beatles haze. A late‑night Bermuda epiphany triggered by the B‑52s. We stitch together these scenes to tell a clear story of return, risk, and the ache of what never happened. We revisit Lennon’s sharp takes on early solo albums, then jump to Howard Cosell’s halftime chat where “It’s always in the wind” floated a reunion hope. From there we follow the thread to Double Fantasy: phone‑call songwrit... | 48m 20s | ||||||
| 11/30/25 | 1970: Velvet Underground 'Loaded' to George Harrison 'All Things Must Pass' to Derek and the Dominoes to The Partridge Family E107 | Some years don’t just produce great records—they redraw the map of how we listen. We dive into 1970 as a living, breathing turning point, starting with the Velvet Underground’s Loaded to George Harrison’s All Things Must Pass, with detours into Derek and the Dominoes, CCR, and the Partridge Family.
