SPECIAL: Long before there was ever a Telehell, I was (and still am) a Radio guy...and since my radio career is now officially old enough to drink, this would be a good time to do a little reflecting on the past in this series of vignettes while I do battle against a Ham Radio unit (Long story). Since this is a little longer than our usual shows, feel free to jump around where needed below: 04:40 - Jingles: A Love Story 26:27 - My Mock Aircheck (c2005) 35:49 - "Local" Commercials (c2006) 49:09 - Me & the BBC (2008 Interview) 1:04:03 - The Tale of "TV Tracks" (2017 Internet radio station) SPONSORED BY: Dave's Archives RetroCIRQ Kier's Nostalgia Corner Kev The Ripper And (of course) Our Patrons

MIDSEASON FINALE: "The Bonfire of Vanity Projects" concludes with a simple warning; that just because you CAN do everything in the world of showbiz, doesn't mean that you SHOULD...and that includes hosting talk shows--maybe if this one aired in France, it would've stayed on for Decades. Telehell will return sometime later in the Summer...as always, we'll explain later...but until then, thank you for everything...
