RERUN-WKRPCast-Episode042-TheDoctorsDaughter
2026/10/29
WELCOME BACK!
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 twelve the last time the Doctor laid eyes on her...and his eyes might have been a bit bleary at the time. Now she's 19, on her own and in Cincinnati!! Johnny barely recognizes her. She showed up at the station with her Old Man...and she's wanting to visit her Old Man (we'll explain that one in a minute).
Justin is catching some Zs in what has to be one funky smelling van. They've been on the road since Seattle. Johnny says they can crash at his place. He wants to be a pal to Laurie...but it's hard to put the whole "dad" thing aside, especially with Justin around. We get into the years and the distances. Be warned, much of what you're about to experience is pretty "far out." Now hurry up and push 'play' before Justin falls back asleep!
[PRODUCTION NOTE: The Jazz clip played under our description of the Blue Wisp Jazz Club was actually recorded live at the Blue Wisp on Nov. 30th of 2011.]

[Want to watch along with us? It's a blast!! We highly recommend the 'Shout Factory' boxed DVD set of the entire WKRP series. For reasons you'll have to listen to in the "Prolog" episode, all streaming versions of the original "WKRP in Cincinnati" have had the original music cues removed. Generic music beds and stings were used in place of the original music for the syndicated version of the series. 'Shout Factory' has been able to restore an estimated 85% of all WKRP music cues to the original "as-aired" content for their DVD release. They've also restored scenes that had been cut to shorten episodes for syndication. The original eps ran 25 minutes. The syndication eps were shortened to 22 minutes. Over 88 episodes that's more than four hours of lost content, including the performance by "Detective" at the end of "Hoodlum Rock." Get the COMPLETE series...get the Shout Factory DVDs. The Shout Factory complete series box has a release date of 2014. All individual seasons of Shout Factory disks were released starting in 2015.]

RERUN-WKRPCast-Episode041-InConcert
2026/10/22
WELCOME BACK!
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 huge and highly anticipated World Tour, and Cincinnati was chosen as one of the stops. Tickets were a sellout, the whole town was buzzing about the event and EVERYBODY wanted to be there.
The next day, when reports emerged of eleven deaths due to asphyxiation while trapped in the crowd, the people of Cincinnati...and the world...were stunned and grief stricken.
WKRP Story Editor Stephen Kampmann felt this was not something that could be ignored by the show. WKRP was a rock-n-roll station IN CINCINNATI! They HAD to address it. We'll tell you the story...and we breakdown the episode. Be ready fellow babies...this is a huge and heartbreaking dose of reality. Much the way the gang did, we'll get through it together.

WELCOME BACK!
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 lady. She even likes Phil!! Who's Phil? Oh, man...you'd better get some protection!!
Les needs his space! He's a lone wolf whose den doesn't need pink pillows and cosmic posters. Les would throw her out...if she'd just stop kissing him! What would Walter Cronkite say? What is Art Carlson going to say? Crooning newsmen mooning over a dame are more than Art can handle. Push 'play' and open a window...it's about to get all steamy in here.

INTRODUCING 'OUT TO CLEAN: THE ULTIMATE SILO PODCAST'
Hey there fans of the 'ultimate' podcast format! It's Allen and I've got some exciting news. I'm introducing a brand new 'ultimate' podcast covering the first three seasons of the AppleTV series SILO.
SILO has been the most requested series for me to do as an 'ultimate' title. I wasn't ready to take it on until I saw the incredible Season 3. I'm really hooked! To the point I'm ready to go 'ultimate'!!
"Out to Clean: The Ultimate SILO Podcast" premieres on Thursday, Nov. 5th. Make sure to subscribe right here and be ready to go 'down deep' starting 11/5.
RERUN-WKRPCast-Episode039-AmericanizationofIvan
2026/10/08
WELCOME BACK!
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!
He wants to defect...or does he? Yeah, he does. The lure of pretty girls, blue jeans and rock-n-roll is far too great for Mr. Ivan Papa...something or other. Les'll tell you.
Ivan has the duds, he's got the attitude and he's got the backing of the WKRP gang. He does NOT have bureaucratic support for his move...and he might not be finding any diplomatic assistance in Cinci. Will Ivan find his Tiny Dancer? Will Mr. Anderson ever get his Carter? Will you know any more about what's going on after you push 'play'? In this humble reporter's opinion, those answers would be: yes, no and maybe.
[HMOTD! Did you hear the mention at the end of our podcast where we talk about the OTHER WKRP podcast?? You may have already checked into the "Hold My Order" guys, but if you haven't, give 'em a spin (only after you've listened to our newest, of course). It's not a re-run! Rob and Mike's take on a WKRP podcast is pretty different from ours....it's a whole new experience for each episode. You can check them out at:

WELCOME BACK!
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 offer. Go out with him! Play relationship 'Chicken'. Take it right up to the point where he veers off the road and cracks up in the tall weeds. Gotta happen...right? Bailey said so!
Jennifer "goes for it". Les gets a scoop with his marvelous "Sneaky Snooper" (all the way from Battle Creek) and tells Herb to ALSO "go for it!" This battle will be fought with a halter top and straight bourbon. Hit 'play' for all the sordid details.

WELCOME BACK!
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 quiet sound mix Shout! Factory decided to include in their DVD set for this episode. The jokes are there, but the laughs are missing. We're hearing the "no audience" early Friday performance with no reactions to any of the jokes!! It's WEIRD!
Could I interest you in some classic Zuni Indian Jewelry? How about a toaster? You're right...toaster's are boring. Pull out a five and start the bidding, we've got Bert Parks, Herb snarks, new posters and NOBODY is talking toasters!! Hit 'play' and hop aboard the Herb Train...it's a wild ride!

WELCOME BACK!
It's bring your little sister to work day! Well, not really...but it feels like it. Andy's been entertaining his kid sister, Carol who's been visiting Cincinnati for four days now. 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? A certain late night disk jockey with a silky voice and fantastic threads? It would make sense, wouldn't it? Andy doesn't see it. He bribes the Doctor with fifty bucks and tells him to meet him back at the station tonight.
Venus and Carol have other plans that may involve roller skates. The pair ditches the station for a fun day in Cinci. Venus calls in to let Andy know he's going to need a sub. Art's on phone duty, and blows the message. Andy's getting REALLY mad about this situation and he's not sure why. It wouldn't be because Venus is...black?
This is a deep and well-constructed script about subtle racism. It was written by Tim Reid, his first ever WGA writing credit. Not only do we go over Tim's story about the episode, we've got a BONUS: Allison Argo, who plays Carol, joins us to answer some questions and fill in a few details. It's a hilariously thought-provoking look at the racism that exists way below the surface. Sometimes only family can bring it to light.

WELCOME BACK!
The Sports Voice of the Ohio Valley is...WKRP? Art's got stars in his eyes as he hires former Cincinnati Reds Manager Sparky Anderson to host his new sports-talk show. A full two hours and, at some point, the plan is to take it coast-to-coast! Syndication! Huge profits and the unending accolades of mama...er, at least that's how Art sees it.
Sparky is a great guy...but not a great talk show host. It takes Art a few days to realize, but he eventually gets the sign from the catcher. Don't miss this very first script from the writing duo of P.J. Torokvei and Steven Kampmann. Derek's hungry, Sparky's going to the phones and Les is trying to undermine the whole thing. Grab yourself a second helping of fried sheep's brains and hit 'play' before Art fires somebody!!

WELCOME BACK!
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. Jennifer seems very invested in this year's party. Turns out, she's not going home for Christmas. The big office party might be her only chance to celebrate the holiday with 'family'.
When everybody bails on the party after only 10 minutes, Jennifer is NOT happy. Could this possibly really be her ONLY Christmas celebration?? The evening after the big party, the gang is feeling guilty. They stop by Jennifer's apartment...admission: one Christmas Tree. Herb didn't get the memo. It isn't long before Johnny's downing another ladle of eggnog, Venus is trying to get the white out of his beard and Art thinks he's got Mama's Christmas Tree Conundrum nailed. Got your shopping done? Good. You've got time to kick back, hit 'play' and pour yourself another eggnog...if you can get the bowl away from The Doctor.

WELCOME BACK!
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 idea!
Les keeps pushing back, but to no avail. The new cub takes to the airwaves...er, at least she SHOULD be taking to the airwaves. Nessman doesn't think she's ready...then again, Nessman would be keeping Walter Cronkite on typewriter ribbon duty if it meant giving up a precious second of his airtime. Oil, schmoil...you'd better push "play" because it's almost time for the Swim Meeting.

WELCOME BACK!
Something big has arrived in the mail at WKRP...and it's not Art's new Model Ships Catalog. The 'BOOK' has arrived. It's the ratings book...and, we discover, the very FIRST book since Andy's been aboard. Hold on...he's only been there six months?? Seems like a year or more, doesn't it? The Mighty 'KRP is UP in the ratings...first time in seven years according to AC. He's ready to break out the Champagne!
Andy isn't quite as jazzed with the new numbers, but he doesn't want to rain on anybody's bubbly-fueled parade. Find out why the Skipper isn't pleased, why this is Bill Dial's last script, and the strange but true story of what Bill was up to during the season break! We've got details, ratings and rich Corinthian leather all over this one. Push 'play' then kick back in those reclining bucket seats...don't you deserve it?
WATCH ALONG DETAILS...
[Want to watch along with us? It's a blast!! We highly recommend the 'Shout Factory' boxed DVD set of the entire WKRP series. For reasons you'll have to listen to in the "Prolog" episode, all streaming versions of the original "WKRP in Cincinnati" have had the original music cues removed. Generic music beds and stings were used in place of the original music for the syndicated version of the series. 'Shout Factory' has been able to restore an estimated 85% of all WKRP music cues to the original "as-aired" content for their DVD release. They've also restored scenes that had been cut to shorten episodes for syndication. The original eps ran 25 minutes. The syndication eps were shortened to 22 minutes. Over 88 episodes that's more than four hours of lost content, including the performance by "Detective" at the end of "Hoodlum Rock." Get the COMPLETE series...get the Shout Factory DVDs.

WELCOME BACK!
Art "the Big Guy" Carlson has a big trip planned. He's going bonefishing and his lovely wife Carmen is coming along! Carmen shows up at the station with a little bit of a crimp in the plans. Turns out, she's pregnant. It might have been the Kiwanis Dance, but all signs are pointing towards Superman as the culprit.
Mama shows up and things get a bit heavy when she lays out what she sees as Art's course of action. Art's in a daze, Venus hasn't talked to a soul and the Champagne is cold. Decisions and dancing replace the bonefishing trip. Venus has a lot of questions he really doesn't want answered. Shout! Factory is in there trying, but they totally whiffed a big joke. Is that Potsie at Johnny's desk (not the same Johnny)? You'd better push 'play' before somebody starts to show.

WELCOME BACK!
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. Elgar is a 4'11" fireball played by Christian Seaborn and...hold onto your microphones fellow babies...we're talking to him!! Elgar...er, we mean Christian...joins us with behind-the-scenes stories and details you've NEVER heard anywhere else! Herb is stuck to Carlson's desk, Johnny's playing pinball and Andy needs to pay the man four bits or he's going to get his clock cleaned.
You're gonna love this one, fellow babies! Elgar's in the house, Jennifer's taking the calls and Venus needs a pinball report. Hit 'play' and order me a double...we might be here awhile.
