Episode 13 (Part 1) - Eric Von Haessler (The Regular Guys Show - Atlanta) 9/12/09

Eric Von Haessler from The Regular Guys show on ROCK 100.5 in Atlanta joins us in the studio! If you live in Atlanta, you should already be familiar with Eric and The Regular Guys, but theirs is the most popular radio show in Atlanta, and one of the only great morning shows left nationwide. Eric and Larry Wachs moved the show from LA to Atlanta in the mid-90's, and have been on (and off) the air in Atlanta for over 10 years. In this episode we discuss... a lot. Mostly the radio industry itself and where it is going, The Regular Guys, what REALLY happened when they were thrown off the air (twice!), satellite radio, podcasting, stand-up comedians, favorite guests on HIS show, and much more. We talked so much when Eric sat down with us that we split this show into two podcasts. This is Part 1. In Part 2, we discuss music mostly. We'll have Part 2 available in a few days.
