Best Interviews from WJFK/WTEM: April 21-25, 2025

This week saw the NFL Draft, the Battle of the Beltway, and the Caps’ Cup quest all collide! Listen as Sam Monson, John Keim, and Fred Smoot break down what the Commanders needed to do in the draft, Dave Jageler and Mike Rizzo weigh in on Nats-O’s, and Joe Beninati talks Caps-Habs.

The NFL Draft has come and gone, and the Commanders started theirs off with the selection of Josh Conerly Jr. at No. 29 overall. Take a listen to reactions to that pick from several hosts, as well as James Crepea from The Oregonian and ex-NFL head coach Mike Tice. Plus, hear from guard Sam Cosmi on his recovery from a torn ACL and Virginia Tech WR Coach Fontel Mines on fourth-round pick Jaylen Lane, and listen to discussion of Jayden Daniels’ continual desire to improve, and JD and his squad showing OUT at Game 2 of Caps-Canadiens.

This week marked the first three games of the Capitals-Canadiens first-round playoff series, and so far, it’s 2-1 Caps. Hear John Walton call Ovi’s game-winner, Mikey’s empty-netter, and Tom Wilson sparking an end-of-period brawl from right here on our air. On the talk tip, we look at what the Caps need to do to win it all, and the notion of whether or not they can – and how their success will affect other DC teams looking to keep reloading on the fly. Plus, the Junks marvel at the steal the Caps got with Dylan Strome, DSP checks in mid-series…and we find out that the Caps’ theme song is Bandz that DON’T make Danny Rouhier dance?
