Boston radio shows you miss

The original Sports Huddle on WEEI. One of the funniest shows ever. The current version just sucks.

Blues after hours with Mae Kraemer. Fell asleep on many Friday nights listening to her.
 
RIP Mai Cramer; a tribute night to her is coming in a few weeks (night of blues in her name)

not officially gone but WJIB's Let's Talk about Radio w/ Bob Bittner, Donna Halper, Dan Strassberg, and many
others
 
Russ Parr Morning SHow, WEEI Sports Huddle,Carl Rowling Report,Walt Baby Love .
 
Norm Nathan's WBZ weekend overnight show. Jordan Rich is great, he owns the slot now, but I loved Norm's shtick.
 
co-signed on the original Sports Huddle

Gender Talk (WMBR)
The Deminmonde (WMBR)
Talking Trivia w/Morgan White Jr. (whatever happened to "Fractured Flicker"?)
Jerry Williams
Gene Burns
Faster Than You (hardcore show on WERS)
Rich Anzalone (WLYN-FM)
Norm Nathan
the punk shows on WMWM--Dave Dodge, Capt. Carl, Chris Corkum and Paul Greenberg, the man who got me into punk rock
 
Vinnie Perruzzi's Club Classics (originally Kiss Classics), and of course Disco Vinnie himself. How Mix 98-5 signed on to do a Vinnie Memorial Boat Cruise last summer boggles my mind, especially since the Mix music is exactly the opposite of the disco that Vinnie loved. FYI, Mix music can be summed up with core artists like Alanis Morissette, Dave Matthews, Green Day, Pearl Jam, Nirvana, STP, BNL, Soundgarden, Nickelback, Creed, Korn, 3 Doors Down, Kid Rock, Hoobastank, AC/DC and The Fray - not exactly music you can dance to unless you're a drugged-up totally stoned etardray! :D

Morgan White Jr (Talking Trivia)--I should have mentioned that. He does fill ins for WBZ and is on right now.

WMWM: Capt Carl= Carl D'Agostino
I remember Chris Corkum. "Three Hours of Hell on Sunday Afternoon" (3-6p) was one show he did

I still see Corky from time to time... and I got a red vinyl Minor Threat "In My Eyes" EP off Carl for $2... there are only 150 copies of that issue, I think...

I still have my mix tapes from stuff I taped off their shows...
 
The Van Christo Radio Show on WBUR. They presented some fabulous audio plays like "The Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy" and such. Can't remember when the show ended.
 
Carl D'Agostino is back in the Boston area after a stint in NJ.

I'll make sure he gets the message he is missed.

I miss the B.S.R. on BCN, I still remember Danny predicting that BSR would be toast when the FCC tweaked the requirement for public affairs programs. Eli Shearer was one of the engineers.

Anyone remember the trivia program that was on before Sports Huddle on WEEI back in the early 70's?
way before Trivial Pursuit came along.

I miss Bruds.... last intelligent man on Boston Radio.

Paul Benzaquin...Gene Burns,,, Captain Ken Shelton, Mark Parenteau, Rich Buono on WLYN FM and WJUL before he went to work for Matty ( RIP Rich), Joe Martelles saturday night show on the old WROR 98.5..
Art Gauthier on WCGY (he left to go to ESPN in 1979) Tom Carbone on the old WSSH 99.5 ( I hear he is working in Maine), Hillary Stevens on WSSH at night.. John Latchford on 950 WRYT.. Irish music every saturday in my house growing up

I'm sure some more will pop into my head
 
1) WCAS 740AM 1973-1979. Best music format ,then and now....
2) CBS Radio News on the air. ( Only on BZ late nites.)
3) Shop Talk WBUR-FM 1970s with the late Peter Mitchell damm Jane Cristo for cancelling it in 1980.

It was my understanding that the cruise was put together by Vinnie's understudy (Ricky?) and a few other people that worked with Vinnie. I'm not a real MIX listener but the only time I heard the spots were on Barry Scott's show. Enough said!

Paul Benzaquin... one of the best. I remember his "Fiery Diaries"... he did an anti-war one once... my mom heard it and wrote to him for a copy. He sent back an autographed one and I also printed it in my xeroxed (at the time) punk rock fanzine.
