    ROCK N' ROLL CIRCUS #90 Sweethearts

    🎪 STEP RIGHT UP: SWINGIN' SWEETHEARTS & BIG SHOUTOUTS! 🎺 Under the big top this week, we are throwing it WAY back to the golden era of 1937-1949! 🕰️ Get ready to meet the International Sweethearts of Rhythm—a racially mixed, SIXTEEN-piece, all-women Swing orchestra! 🎷 The word 'International' stood for their incredibly diverse makeup, featuring African American, Latin, Asian, Jewish, Hawaiian, White, and Native American musicians. WOW! 🤯 They were a FORMIDABLE force against the all-male bands of the day. These ladies completely SHATTERED box office records on tour across Detroit, Chicago, Cincinnati, Los Angeles, Atlantic City, Miami, and even played for a massive crowd of 11,000 in Kansas City! 🏟️ Sadly, they never got the media love they deserved back then, and it took 50 YEARS for them to be truly appreciated. But let me tell you, they could play swing jazz like nobody else! Catch a REAL treat this week as we show massive love and respect for these wonderful ladies with a double-play of Bugle Call Rag and Jump Children! 🎺🎶 ❤️ A FOREVER SWEETHEART: Writing about "Sweethearts" reminded me of my own... a massive HAPPY BIRTHDAY to my baby, who celebrated on August 5th! 🎂 You are my FOREVER sweetheart! 📻 BIG NEWS ON THE DIAL: Huge shoutout to Ashley ‘Joni B’—he has officially moved his station UP the dial to Big 94.9 WHKS for all you folks in PA and New York! 🍎 Every Sunday night, he streams Radio Wilder from 7-9 PM Eastern on Big94radio.com. A massive CONGRATULATIONS from the entire Radio Wilder team on your 5-Year Anniversary! Keep on ROCKIN'! 🤘👽 #RadioWilder #InternationalSweetheartsOfRhythm #SwingJazz #WomenInMusic #Big949 #WHKS #HappyBirthday #ClassicRock #InternetRadio #RockNRoll

    ROCK N' ROLL CIRCUS #88

    🤯 9 YEARS OF RADIO WILDER: FROM A SIMPLE IDEA TO 10,000 HOURS! 📻✨ Checking out the music for this week’s show, I was struck by The Yardbirds' track Happenings Ten Years Time Ago. It really got me thinking... ten years ago, I hadn’t even seriously considered creating an audio leave-behind for my daughter! Fast forward to today, and as we approach our massive 9th Anniversary on September 24th, it is truly HARD TO BELIEVE what this journey has become! 🎉 📻 THE ORIGIN STORY: Fun fact: I originally wanted the name ‘Wilder Radio’, but it wasn’t available. So, we launched as Radio Wilder—and today, I wouldn’t change it for the world! 🌍 The original goal was maybe 6 to 8 hours of audio, splitting the playlist between my favorite songs and hers. The reality? We now have between 9,000 to 10,000 HOURS recorded! 🤯 About 75% of those tracks are mine, and the rest come directly from YOU GUYS, our incredible listeners! That is SO COOL! 🙌 🌍 A WORLDWIDE FAMILY: Because of this show, I now have friends all over the globe and have even been invited to stay at the home of one of our absolute favorite bands! Radio Wilder has been a true BLESSING. 🙏 (By the way, next week I’m going to highlight some of our fantastic guest ‘Conversations’, so stay tuned for that!) 🎸 THIS WEEK'S KILLER LINEUP: Let's dive into the music! We are bringing the heat this week: A rock n’ roll classic from the Rocky Fellers, Killer Joe, covered by the legendary Kingsmen (of Louie Louie fame)! 🎷ZZ Top 🕶️🚗The Raveonettes 🖤The Kills ⚡Paul Simon 🎶Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young ☮️Imagine Dragons 🐉T. Rex 🦖Soraia 🔥 Crazy to think about, but I have now played music on Radio Wilder LONGER than my actual rock n' roll playing time with my own bands! 🎸🎙️ Thanks for taking this wild ride with us. Crank it up! 👽 #RadioWilder #9thAnniversary #TheYardbirds #ZZTop #ClassicRock #InternetRadio #RockAndRoll #MusicHistory #RadioShow

    Headline: 🤯 ONE MILLION LISTENERS?! YOU GUYS ARE UNBELIEVABLE! 🌍📻 As we steamroll toward our MASSIVE 9th Anniversary this September, I was looking at some stats our Executive Producer, "Big L" Laurent L., sent over. He tracks the hits and listens for all 450+ of our shows, and my mind is officially BLOWN! 💥 Here is how it works: a new show might get 150-200 listens in its first week. But three years later? That same show has been rocked to 500+ times! We have shows from 5, 6, or 7 years ago hitting as many as 3,000 listens! 📈 What I am getting at is... we might have reached a worldwide audience of around ONE MILLION PEOPLE! 🤯 Absolutely CRAZY for little ol' Radio Wilder, which just started as a digital leave-behind for my daughter! Thank you all from the bottom of my heart! ❤️ 💿 PULLING FROM THE GIANT WALL OF CDs: Enough of the sappy stuff, let's get back to the MUSIC!
