Send us Fan Mail Some years don’t just age well, they keep proving their point. 1986 is one of those years, and I’m celebrating the 40-year anniversary by ripping through 20 albums that still deserve a spot in your rotat
Send us Fan Mail Saturday morning starts simple: I’m adjusting the mic, talking breakfast, and chasing the kind of easy conversation that feels like radio you can actually live inside. Then the calendar gives us two perf
Send us Fan Mail Raul Ortega hijacks the Ben Maynard Program and turns the tables on me with one goal: trace the exact moments that built my music brain. It starts with a scene that’s almost too perfect to be real, my mo
Send us Fan Mail We tried to go live, realized we weren’t actually live, and somehow that set the perfect tone for a Friday night that spirals from goofy to surprisingly useful. After we kick around the day’s “national h
Send us Fan Mail They can take your seat, shrink your legroom, and apparently now charge you for a carry-on, but they can’t take the joy of a great live show and a fresh stack of vinyl. I’m back from a quick Vegas hit wi
Send us Fan Mail One week. Forty songs. A whole time machine. We’re building a Billboard Top 40 playlist from May 7, 1983, and the deeper we go, the more you can hear the early 80s music world colliding: rock guitars nex
Send us Fan Mail The Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame just dropped its latest class and I’m equal parts pumped and irritated. Some picks feel overdue and undeniable, and others make me wonder what the Hall thinks “rock and rol
Send us Fan Mail April 1976 is one of those weeks where the radio dial feels like an entire universe. We pull up the Billboard Hot 100 Top 40 from the first week of April 1976 and react in real time, from songs we wore o
Send us Fan Mail Most Americans only meet Iran through a headline, a chant, or a talking head. Then Sormeh walks into our studio and calmly says what almost never makes the news: the Iranian people are not the Iranian re
Send us Fan Mail Van Halen didn’t just get popular, they changed what rock music sounded like when the needle hit the record. Craig Dodge joins me after a year of planning to talk through the David Lee Roth era and why t
Send us Fan Mail 1976 is having a moment again, and not as a dusty nostalgia trip. We rewind to the albums turning 50 and lay out a practical listening roadmap for anyone who wants to remember what made the 70s album era
Send us Fan Mail Destroyer turns 50, and I’m not letting that milestone pass quietly. KISS released this album on March 15, 1976, right after KISS Alive! lit the fuse, and you can hear a band going from hungry club monst
Send us Fan Mail The last 20 minutes are the part I can’t fully remember and that’s exactly why we’re talking about it. After our “drunk show” ended abruptly, I went back and watched the footage, and what I saw was a cle
Send us Fan Mail How many drinks does it take before you swear you’re fine, even when your body is clearly not? We put that question on a timer and a breathalyzer, turning a Friday night live hang into a public service e
Send us Fan Mail Three things collided this week: desert heat, a driverless ride that actually worked, and a Rock and Roll Hall of Fame ballot that begged for a verdict. After a two-day run at Phoenix’s Extra Innings Mus
Send us Fan Mail A directionless teen takes a wild turn into purpose, discipline, and service—then ends up racing across Morocco on TV. That’s Jim Vaglica’s path: 32 years in law enforcement, 16 on a regional SWAT team,
Send us Fan Mail A cool 58 degrees, an empty propane tank, and a heroic cup of hot cocoa set the stage for a live Friday night hang that turns into a love letter to radio, a deep dive into Friday the 13th, and a reality
Send us Fan Mail Friday Night Live returns with a burst of energy, a few hot takes, and a whole lot of nostalgia. We kick off with quick, friendly reminders to subscribe and jump straight into National Working Naked Day
Send us Fan Mail The lights are back on, the hat is on, and we’re rolling with a no-spin catch-up that turns a rough few weeks into fuel. I open the studio door on the cold, the flu, and the beard that survived it all, t
Send us Fan Mail Two chords in and you can already feel it: the tug of a small town, the pulse of a busy café, and the stubborn belief that songs should sound like people. We sit down with 24-year-old multi-instrumentali
