The Return





















Ladies and gentleman, sound a feasting horn... we have rod.

If you haven't been on my FB or if you're not familiar w/ the linkaging (it's a word...somewhere...), please visit www.bigoanddukes.com... drop trou, and enjoy what hath been bestowed on you.

For those not in the know, a year ago, the DC area suffered a significant loss when WJFK (106.7FM for the numerically inclined) flipped formats from THE GREATEST TALK RADIO STATION EVER to... sports. Only sports. All the time.

It was a slow motion car accident but the radio business sucked (and still does) so... business-wise, the move was understandable. However, in the process, some of the best talk radio in the business went by the wayside, most notably, the Mike O'Meara Show and the Big O and Dukes Show.

Total dagger.

Fortunately, the O'Meara Show resurfaced earlier in the year, in the form of a podcast (http://www.mikeomearashow.com/), which was nice. I think a lot of listeners expected Mike and gang to come back in some form but the same can't be said for O and Dukes. Dukes found new life on the rebranded 106.7 and Oscar ditched EL SOL and joined Mike on his podcast. It appeared that the story of Oscar and Chad had been written...

That is until last week. A short midnight FB post from Oscar and suddenly... the world seems right again. I encourage you to go to www.bigoanddukes.com to get a taste. If you can, go to itunes and search 'big o and dukes' to find old podcasts from the old radio station. I guarantee listening enjoyment. Now if you'll excuse me, I'm off to do the maneuver...
