WELCOME BACK!!
Dr. Bob Halyers (Halliers? Halyer?) has come to WKRP with one thing on his mind: cleaning up the airwaves!! Dr. Bob is the head of "Clean Up Radio Broadcasting" aka CURB. Yes, it's possible he was also head of something called "Clean Up Radio Everywhere" or CURE...but that was an earlier draft.
We get into the details about all things "CURB/CURE" with a VERY special Guest! WKRP Associate & Coordinating Producer MAX TASH joins us with his insight. You see, not only was Max doing his production duties on this one...he also WROTE it! Well, maybe not word-for-word...but it was his IDEA! (He'll tell you more about that in the podcast.)
Do NOT miss this very special episode of WKRP...and a very special episode of the WKRP-Cast! What are you waiting for? Those dirty words aren't going to listen to themselves!!

WATCH ALONG DETAILS...
[Want to watch along with us? It's a blast!! We highly recommend the 'Shout Factory' boxed DVD set of the entire WKRP series. For reasons you'll have to listen to in the "Prolog" episode, all streaming versions of the original "WKRP in Cincinnati" have had the original music cues removed. Generic music beds and stings were used in place of the original music for the syndicated version of the series. 'Shout Factory' has been able to restore an estimated 85% of all WKRP music cues to the original "as-aired" content for their DVD release. They've also restored scenes that had been cut to shorten episodes for syndication. The original eps ran 25 minutes. The syndication eps were shortened to 22 minutes. Over 88 episodes that's more than four hours of lost content, including the performance by "Detective" at the end of "Hoodlum Rock." Get the COMPLETE series...get the Shout Factory DVDs. The Shout Factory complete series box has a release date of 2014. All individual seasons of Shout Factory disks were released starting in 2015.]
