Customer Reviews
An entertaining look at the history of WAPL.
I have enjoyed this podcast. There are behind the scenes stories of not only the history of WAPL, but the radio industry. I was entertained and informed. I am always drawn to people who really care about their craft. Several people in this podcast obviously put their heart into their work.
