This week, in our first podcast without Jim -- we trudge forward with some airchecks. Jim always loved it when we played airchecks, so that's what we're going to do. This week, we listen to some Los Angeles stations back in the late 60s and 70s. We hear Dr. Don Rose, the real Don Steele, and Charlie Tuna -- 3 icons of the radio industry. Thanks for listening.

Episode #26: Remember the election of 1920? We do. In fact, it was the first time election returns were broadcast on the radio. KDKA in Pittsburgh was the station, and politics would never be the same.

100 years ago, KDKA in Pittsburgh became the first commercial station in the US. They also were the first station to broadcast presidential election returns. We actually have audio from that broadcast. You might be surprised as to how many listeners they had. We also have some sound from the Presidential debate in 1960 between John F Kennedy and Richard Nixon. And, as usual, our sponsor announcer Gary Owens, drops in and gives us some audio brilliance.
