@SigSomd @947theDrive I mean, it’s hard to donate and post at the same time.

We’re holding our first radiothon for Fisher House this morning on @947theDrive. You can help support our military veterans & their families with a donation at https://t.co/UejaQ7sJl2. Fisher House is one of the highest rated veterans charities

@SigSomd @947theDrive You’re doing it wrong

So great seeing @bretradio and @ChrisKinard back together again at the @JunksRadio Beach Bash. Felt like the good old days.

On May 4, The Washington Post won two Pulitzers. To stream the announcement live, the paper had to bring back two of the video operators it had laid off in February. Nobody left in the building could run the equipment. They walked past the new opinion studio on their way in.

The new opinion studio was built with $80,000 in video gear. Its flagship podcast has 515 YouTube subscribers after 186 videos and more than 20 episodes. Apple Podcasts users have given it 2.3 stars. The most positive review on record: "This is bad and the people making it should feel bad."

Dave Jorgenson, the journalist who built WaPo's TikTok presence, left last year. His personal YouTube channel now has 358,000 subscribers. The opinion podcast has 515. A former WaPo journalist working with a small team has built more than 600 times the audience of the flagship new show.

Bezos was warned by his own opinion editor that the rightward pivot would cost subscribers. His documented response, per the New York Times: "I don't care."

The piece's own summary is the only sentence needed: "Bezos laid off the people who win the Pulitzers. He's funding the people who lose the subscribers."

[106.7 The Fan @1067theFan]

A caller asked Grant & Danny why they can't just tell their wives they have to watch games for work? Well, the NFL is now playing games almost every night, so it's getting harder and harder to use the excuse!

@ramjunkies This is such a great tweet. Ramchives > anything we have saved over the years

July 1, 1987 I was a part of the birth of sports radio at @WFAN660, almost 39 years. Not certain, but this is likely the longest running show in history of the format. Congrats boys

[Chris Kinard @ChrisKinard]

@yourethatnerd @pej31 So funny. I was there Saturday, not sure why none of the press reported it. Spelunkers is silly btw

[Chris Kinard @ChrisKinard]

Happy Sports Junkies Day! Celebrating 30 years of the Junkies in DC, as proclaimed by Mayor Bowser.

The Junkies represent everything great about radio. Fun, spontaneity, passion, and a deep bond with listeners. It’s been a pleasure to work with these guys for over 28 years

Negotiated with an undrafted FA one year, no agent.
I said: "Ok, we'll do minimum contract, $1,000 signing bonus."
Long pause.
Then he said: "Mr. Brandt, I only have $200, but I promise I'll get you the other $800 next week."
"No, no" I said. "We pay you!"
Bless his heart.
