  • AMA w/ Darwin and Cat
    May 12 2025

    On this episode, Darwin and Cat celebrate their 25th show with their first AMA: Ask. Us. Anything.

Darwin recounts the chaos of keeping WEQX live during a power outage, Cat shares her deathrock days as drummer of the Super Heroines, and together they open up about their enduring friendship, office mischief, and the lessons they’d take into a do-over of their old morning show. This episode is part confessional, part roast, and 100% Darwin and Cat.

    On this week’s episode, the duo dives deep into their nerdy radio roots. From Cat’s wild teenage adventures hanging out at KROQ with Rodney on the Roq and the Poorman – including a truly bizarre Ric Ocasek story – to Darwin’s obsession with distant AM stations and his college radio days with his first on-air partner – this episode is a love letter to the magic of radio. Along the way, they revisit the golden age of Casey Kasem countdowns, the rise of WEQX, and a surreal night involving Chris Barron (Spin Doctors), Rob Dickinson (Catherine Wheel), and Mike Doughty (Soul Coughing). It’s a story of fandom, questionable decisions, weird coincidences, and how two awkward kids with a love of radio ended up behind the mic together.
