• Episode 001 Where Houston and Hogan came together for the first time
    Jun 12 2022

    Dave Hogan and Randy Houston came together in our radio careers at the legendary WISE in Asheville NC in the early 90's. Dave was the morning guy at the station that played a Nostalgia format. It was simulcast on WTZQ in Hendersonville. Randy was GM of the stations and he and Dave became fast friends and still hold a lot of respect for each other's abilities. Their paths moved on after a decade or so, the classic country genre calling to both these radio veterans. Dave has hung up the headphones but was coerced into recording some memories of the glory days of live radio.
