97X - Rumblings from the Big Bush

Episode 5: an interview with Julie Maxwell, Queen of The Breakfast Club

Abe Froman may be the Sausage King of Chicago (per Ferris Bueller) but he can't hold a candle to Julie Maxwell, who co-hosted the 97X "Breakfast Club" morning show for many years, and also served as the station's promotions manager. If you ever scored concert tickets, prizes or station swag, Julie probably had a hand in it. Dave and Damian chat with her about Outdoor Underwear Festivals, Sinead O'Connor box cutters and her favorite co-host.

Episode 4: an interview with Steve Baker, THE voice of 97X

Dave and Damian chat with the legendary Steve Baker, who worked at 97X for 20 years in a variety of roles: news reporter, Breakfast Club host, station manager, play-by-play announcer for Miami University football and basketball, singer of jingles and National Anthems, etc. Steve's voice also stars in the movie Rainman ("97X... BAM!... the future of rock and roll!")

Episode 3: Pork Queens and Ponderosas

Dave ("The Dick Clark of Modern Rock") and Damian ("The Dick Sargent of Modern Rock") chat about the Modern Rock 500 and artists/bands that stopped by the station. And you'll find out why a Bel Canto moment lasts 60 minutes.
