In 1993, The Tampa Bay Times was about to do a three-page spread on the arrival of night jock, Bubba The Love Sponge in Tampa at 93.3 WFLZ. At the same time, Bubba and ‘FLZ late night talent, Tom Steele were having a nightly on-air feud. Bubba was such an impactful ...

Tom Hanks had the virus, but these words aren’t about that, nor is it about him, but instead, it is about how being prepared for other things could have you prepared for this attack of the coronavirus. As a joke, a man is selling a 4” x 4” square of toilet paper for ...

“They don’t give a $h!# what kind of coffee you drink,” one of my bosses said, as he addressed the entire radio staff in a meeting. He was attempting to say that the mundane things about you don’t matter to your audience. One well known morning show coach ...

It has been said that, "when you help others figure out their dreams that your dreams will come true in the process." I don't especially love musicals, but I saw this one about a guy named Joseph, who you'd know by the many colors of his coat and this Joseph spends ...
