Ever wondered what it’s like to be the only local nighttime general topic radio show host in America? Join us as we hit a monumental milestone with the 130th episode of Pat's Peeps Podcast, broadcasting live from our newly upgraded studio. We extend our heartfelt thanks to our listeners, particularly Allison, and shout out to Michael Murray and our engineer Kyle for their invaluable assistance with the new setup. Celebrating National Radio Day, we reflect on the challenges of the radio industry and what makes this medium so near and dear to our hearts.
Get ready for some real talk on pressing societal and political issues, from the relentless rise in inflation and gas prices to the urgent need for affordable housing and fair immigration policies. We promise a balanced take as we scrutinize recent events through both Republican and Democratic lenses. Then, switch gears with us as we uncover the infamous rift between Glenn Frey and Don Felder that shook The Eagles during a 1980 concert meant to support Senator Alan Cranston. The on-stage drama serves as a stark reminder of the complexities of maintaining harmony within a band.
Finally, travel back in time to 1933 and the shocking case of Brooke Leopold Hart's kidnapping and murder, which sparked the notorious San Jose lynching. This chapter unveils the intense public response and the political and social ramifications that ensued, including the live radio broadcast of the lynching. We'll also explore the haunting lyrics of Tom Jones' "Daughter of Darkness," with a young Elton John’, a studio musician at the time, singing background, and share a lesser-known musical gem. Thank you for tuning in, and we can't wait to hit the airwaves with you again.
