Something strange is happening around the ol' KRP Ranch. It's 14 degrees but Johnny is playing Beach Boys like it's the Fourth of July! (at least, it's some bargain basement semblance of Beach Boys on the ol' Shout! Factory disks). We discover the good Doctor has been called to practice back in L.A. The competitor to the station that fired him over the whole "Booger" thing has come calling with a GREAT offer! Will Johnny head f...

Fearless Newsman Les Nessman is on it...or, at least he would be if he weren't stuck in an elevator. Oh, yeah...his teletype machine is also unplugged. It's a long story that gets really weird wh...

Hang on, fellow babies, we're SUPERSIZED!! It's Allen and Donna Stare! On this episode of the "WKRP-Cast", we tackle one of life's greatest mysteries: are there actually two endings to this episode? And, if there are, WHY???  Johnny blew it when he missed the decimal point on Andy's contest memo. The "big prize" was fifty bucks. Johnny read it as FIVE THOUSAND!! No sweat, we'll just make the contest impossible to win! KRP listeners are obviously m...

Hi!! Our names are Allen and Donna Stare! We are a married couple from the Midwest who have been fans of the television show "WKRP in Cincinnati" since it originally aired. Allen started a career in radio and advertising at age 15 and much of his interest was inspired by WKRP. While Allen comes at the show more from the radio side of things, Donna is a fan of the humanity and the characters that populate the world of WKRP. We are both lovers of trivia, music and history...

Hey!! It's Allen and Donna Stare! It's time for another episode of the "WKRP-Cast"...and this one's a doozy! It's "Turkeys Away", the most popular and most famous episode of WKRP ever conceived!! Who thought of it? Who wrote it? Is it true? Were any turkeys harmed in the making of this episode?? These questions and more will be answered this time as we tackle the 800lb.

This is it, Fellow Babies. Welcome to the FINAL network first-run airing of WKRP. This episode, "The Impossible Dream" had been shelved by the network in the spring of 1982. Now, with a breakout hit on their hands, the network decided to play this never-before-seen episode well into the fall season...the season AFTER WKRP had been cancelled.

It's Les's birthday. The passing of another year has spurred the News Beacon of the Ohio Valley to strive for more in his career. That, and his mother is in to...

Jennifer says it at lunch with Herb (yeah, right there should tell you how crazy this one is!!): "Change is exciting, don't you think?"

Maybe when it's happening to someone else, but the changes happening around the station are leaving everyone reeling. Herb is looking GOOD in a conservative grey suit. He's also spouting the supply-side doctrine of the new Reagan Administration. Who is this fellow in the nice-looking suit, and what have you done with our Herb??!!

Amphetamines were outlawed in 1970. It was a Tricky Dick move. He made amphetamines a very-illegal Schedule Two drug. No more bottles of "mother's little helper" available over the counter.

By the late 1970s, some intrepid manufacturers of 'diet pills' were concocting concentrated formulations of caffeine, ephedrine and sometimes taurine. It was an attempt to legally create the amphetamine buzz that was so prized by speed-freaks in the '60s.

Hundreds of milligrams of caffeine in a concentrated form will get you buzzing....it might even  hel...

"Real Families" could be hanging in a museum somewhere, endlessly debated by those who value and appreciate the formative capacity of television on society. Is this brilliant commentary? A...

Jennie-poo bought a place in the ‘burbs. It’s a big old Victorian in need of a wealthy woman’s touch. Jennifer enlists the gang to help her move and everyone gets in on the act. We’re serious. It is, quite literally…a single act. All of the action in this one is continuous. Jennifer’s new home provides the perfect setting for a parade of zanies…the next door neighbors…the phone guy…the cops. It churns along at a breakneck pace, much like a runaway piano. Pour yourself a big s...

If there is one thing Les Nessman has always coveted, it is the ability to soar above the clouds. His greatest wish is the chance to report back to the ground about the wonders he has discovered...especially when it comes to traffic patterns in and around Cincinnati. WPIG has a brand new helicopter...the ONLY "Live Eye in the Sky" in the market!! There's a "copter gap" or somesuch...you'll have to ask Les.

Nessman can't stand it!! He does something...brash. Les hires an area cr...

It's media awards night in Cincinnati! Awards night means time to get out your best tux, slick back your hair, and mingle with folks you probably used to work with at one time. Any evening media function is usually a great place to get hammered with your work friends while not worrying about being at work. It's also a great place to catch up on the best gossip and scuttlebutt. If you're lucky, and somewhat good, you might also go home with a bit of hardware for the evening. Duration: 00:56:20

We all know Venus is one talented nighttime guy. It's no surprise the Urban Powerhouse in Cincinnati is reaching out to WKRP's own Prince of Darkness. WREQ, 'the Ramblin' Wreck', is making an offer he might find hard to refuse. He’s staring down tons more money, and the coveted title of Program Director. Venus has a meeting scheduled. Turns out, Venus is the last to know about his offer. Les has already spread the word, having heard from the Wreck's news director.

The hour long "Filthy Pictures" continues!! This week, it gets even BETTER! We've got comments with the Sleazy Photographer himself, George Wyner, throughout this week's episode.

You remember last time, we discovered that sleazy photog D. Arnold Gonzer took advantage of some legal-release mumbo-jumbo and shot revealing photos of our Ms. Marlowe. He plans to sell them to the highest bidder. Hmmm...what if that bidder turned out to be Johnny and Bailey? Er...ummm...Phillipe and Ginger?

It's a sting, it's a hoot...it's a...

This week's episode ran as a full hour. Since we didn't want to dump a two hour podcast on you...we're doing what they did with it in syndication: breaking it into two pieces.

Art Carlson is a civic-minded fella. We thought he was a Rotarian. Turns out, Art's a Kiwanian. Different name, different club, same sense of civic-duty. Art is in charge of the big fundraising fashion show this year, so he's turning to the gang for help. If for the kids and he needs models! He...

John Caravella has packed a lot of living into his 41 years. Our Dr. Fever seemingly doesn't do anything once. In addition to more than a half-dozen air names, he's had multiple wives, an unknowable number of jobs, a crazy amount of alcohol and several interactions with certain substances that have come back to haunt him ("do you see someone standing in the corner?") The thing Johnny seems to have only done once: have a kid. Her name is Laurie and Johnny hasn't seen her in seven years. She was tw...

This is a unique, and very important, episode of WKRP. It addresses an actual, and at the time of air, very recent, incident in Cincinnati. The first half is very 'usual'...lots of laughs, Art in a goofy mask. It's fun. It does nothing to prepare us for what's about to happen.

It was the same for concertgoers, parents and city leaders in Cincinnati. Leading up to it, The Who Concert was one of the biggest things to happen there in a long time. It was a hu...

Sometimes you can't tell the heartbreakers. We know Les Nessman is a hard-driving newsman who's only in it for the story. He never tracked down a lead because he thought it might impress the ladies. His dedication to his work has impressed at least one lady. Her name is Darlene, and she has a crushing crush on our favorite intrepid reporter.

Be careful Les, Darlene has the crazy eyes! She's ready to move in after their first date! Within a week, she's befriended the cranky old neighbor la...

Detente with the Soviets means fact-finding missions and endless attempts at 'unity.' One of those many attempts has landed in the Queen City...Porkopolis...in the form of a Russian Hog Delegation. If beepers had been invented, Les' would be going off. Les storms the press conference with a vengeance. Bailey is his true secret weapon and he doesn't even realize it. The primary speaker for the delegation is smitten by the lovely Miss Quarters. He speaks to her personally and, in the process, passes her a note! Duration: 00:48:28

Lucille is out of town for ten big days and "Huggable Herb" is on the loose! If you're not Jennifer Marlowe, this information will not affect you. If you ARE Jennifer Marlowe prepare for a blizzard of lewd propositions like you've never weathered before! Jennifer is horrified...she can't do ten days, she just CAN'T!

Bailey, of all people, has a devious "battle of the sexes" type plan. According to her, "it can't lose." She tells Jennie-poo to "go for it." Take old HH up on his of...

There has to be a reason for Herb. Sure, Johnny is leaning towards some kind of failed government experiment, but the real answer can probably be found in his parenting. If only we could meet one of Herb's parents...

Herb's Dad is waiting in the lobby and it's none other than BERT PARKS!! This is HUGE, Jennie-Poo! We've got the lowdown on how Bert happened to be on WKRP right in the midst of his "Miss America" firing scandal. Plus, we take a look at the strangely qu...

Kings Island is fun, but with your BROTHER? Maybe not. Andy realizes he's coming up short in the tour guide department. He decides to enlist the help of one of the smoothest and coolest ladies' men you'll find anywhere in the Greater Cincinnati area...Dr. John Fever. Hold on, you thought I meant someone else?

Johnny is tossing and turning. Is that someone outside? What time is it? He opens the door to...nothing. Then, there's a voice! We don't hear it, but Johnny certainly does. This voice tells him some stuff...but some stuff is garbled. Was it God? Was it a dream? How could he know? Maybe he should bug everyone at the station with questions about their religious beliefs!! Today that seems like a great way to get sued. In 1979, it made for a pleasantly entertaining half hour of television AND a...

Merry Christmas!! Stop looking at the calendar...it's Christmas in KRP-Land and that's all that matters. Remember how weirdly disorienting it was to come across a Christmas episode of a show in syndication?? It didn't matter if it was the middle of July...for half an hour, you got a little of the warmth of Christmas, no matter what time of year. This Christmas, the whole gang seems a bit edgy. Relatives are in town, travel plans aren't coming together and it's almost time for the Office Christmas Party.  Jen...

The entire news department at WKRP consists of a single man: Les Nessman. Truly, he is a paragon among men, a news stalwart who lets nothing deter him from delivering ten brilliant casts a day. Andy thinks it's time to shake things up a bit in the news area...against Les' wishes, and better judgement. They're reviewing audition tapes when a familiar voice comes through the speakers. Bailey Quarters has slipped her own entry into the stack, and Andy thinks having Bailey on the air would be a great id...

When you're on one of the lowest rated stations in town, it's easy to convince yourself nobody's listening. Johnny's eyes are opened when an off-hand comment about tossing some trash on the city hall steps blows up in everyone's face. How bad is it? Art has summoned the station attorney, Elgar Neece.

It's a natural progression for many business executives: once you've conquered the business world, it's time to conquer the world of politics. Arthur "Big Guy" Carlson of WKRP Radio in Cincinnati is one such business executive. Art's been bitten by the political bug! He's ready to steer Cincinnati in the right direction as an esteemed member of the Queen City's Council. Current incumbent Charles "Chuck" Tillman isn't delivering the goods in Art's eyes. He's missing meetings, missing votes and generally NOT doing the job he was elected to do. Ac...

Jennifer is gorgeous, cool, aloof, in control and well-to-do.  Who could possibly rock her world? His name is "Steel" and, to hear her tell it, he's every girl's dream. It's not until we meet Mr. Night Maintenance  we discover he might be lacking in the depth department. Steel definitely has the teeth, the hair and the, uh...derriere...to drive the ladies wild, but the pretty package is very empty.

Vapid and self-centered are acceptable to Jennifer. Lecherous and sponging off her for money...that's another matter. When...
