This week Joe is performing his duties as a citizen and participating in jury duty. Unfortunately this means no new episode of The Brian and Joe Radio Show. We’ll add another flashback episode to the podcast feed, and we invite you back next week for new informative and entertaining content! Stay tuned…
Hosts: Brian Mueller and Joe Wessels
Topics: Welcome back for Episode 38 of The Brian and Joe Radio Show. Joe produces the program this week from the WVQC studios in downtown Cincinnati, OH. Brian joins the show via telephone from Austin, TX. Brian and Joe riff on a variety of subjects including the upcoming election season (Chabot v. Driehaus), the 11th Annual Texas Renewable Energy and Green Living Fair, the Reds, the Bengals, and maybe a few other topics.

Joe and I find inspiration in all sorts of places, and among all kinds of people. In 1992 our interest in broadcasting began in earnest with an internship at 55KRC, one of the early powerhouse AM stations in Cincinnati. But even before spending sweltering summer evenings above downtown on Highland Avenue, we were motivated to learn and to share stories. For Joe, his childhood inspiration included many of the local news journalists and radio personalities. He would listen to Jerry Thomas in the mornings, and in the evenings watch the Channel 9 News anchored by Al Schottelkotte. I, on the other hand, was influenced by Ernest Hemingway and John Steinbeck, two quintessential American authors who also happened to be journalists.
The summer of 1992 isn’t all that long ago, but much has changed both in the media and in our lives. The Internet transformed all aspects of our culture and has altered the way we consume information and entertainment. Throughout the years Joe and I have tried to keep pace with innovations like streaming audio, podcasting, and social media. Yet despite the all the new technology, we have learned that the fundamentals of delivering quality content and information have not changed.
Despite the challenges we face by living in separate cities, having a humble budget, and leading busy lives, we try our best to deliver compelling and quality content with each episode of The Brian & Joe Radio Show. Over the years we’ve added to our role models and heroes. (This week we posted a photo of Brian and Joe with Al Franken in 2004 on our Facebook page.) And throughout our journey in the world and in front of the microphone, we greatly appreciate the fans, friends, and family members who have guided us along the way. We don’t know what the future will bring, yet our goal will always be to deliver stories and interviews in a thoughtful, constructive, and entertaining format.
-Brian

Topics: Thanks for joining us for Webisode 3 of The Brian and Joe Radio Show. Last week on Episode 37 we spoke to Brian Saal, self-proclaimed conservative and founding member of Ohio P.A.S.T. As it turned out one hour was not enough time. So this week we brought Brian back to talk more about his involvement with Ohio P.A.S.T and his investigations into the paranormal.

Topics: Thanks for joining us again this week. Joe calls this episode “Brian and Joe - BS”. Admittedly this show is simply Brian and Joe conversing about nothing in particular. Nonetheless, we guarantee a couple of good belly laughs. Do you remember where you were when the Space Shuttle Challenger exploded? We do. And Joe remembers the names of everyone in his sixth grade class at Colerain Elementary. Enjoy!

Topics: This week Brian and Joe welcome journalist, world traveler, and Palm Springs, California resident Maggie Downs. Joe returns after a brief hiatus to bring us a good friend of The Brian and Joe Radio Show on the eve of her departure for South America. Maggie and her friend Deborah left their jobs to navigate the globe in search of adventure and great stories. Enjoy the hour as Maggie describes her itinerary and while still bubbling with pre-trip optimism. We hope to check in with Maggie periodically during her voyage for progress updates. Safe travels Maggie & Deborah!

Topics: This week Brian Mueller again hosts the show without Joe Wessels who is busy in Berkeley, California teaching photography to summer campers. Joe should be back shortly, but his hiatus gives Brian another opportunity to interview someone he knows personally – Mike Napolitano. After Brian moved next door to Mike in 2007, the two quickly became friends. In the time since, Brian has learned a great deal about Mike from his love of ACL Fest to his general gregariousness. No one you ever meet this side of Queens, NY is quite like Mike. Tune in for a fascinating hour as Mike reminisces about his days as a “Guido” in NYC to the emerging ACL Mike persona in Austin.
