Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Season Two, Episode Six "WIHZ, The Whiz" - BONUS EPISODE Interview with James Van Osdol
Q: Did you have wild calls or something memorable that shaped how you handled the show?
Yes, there were many odd and sometimes concerning calls after dark, which reinforced the need to stay guarded yet supportive of listeners who needed help, and to recognize the community that formed around the station regardless of the chaos.
Season Two, Episode Six "WIHZ, The Whiz" - BONUS EPISODE Interview with James Van Osdol
Q: What was the song you remember the most people calling to request?
The request that stood out was Limp Bizkit's Nookie, which became emblematic of the era and the show's lively interaction with listeners, especially during late-night hours when the audience skewed younger.
Season Two, Episode Five "Old Montauk Hwy." - BONUS EPISODE interview with Jason Roth
Q: What are some of the best-known intrusions and how did they generally happen?
The intrusions often gained access to transmitters or station computer systems, with famous examples like the 1977 southern England incident, Captain Midnight in 1986, and the Max Headroom incident illustrating a range from religious proselytizing to anti-corporate protest and vandalism.
Season Two, Episode Five "Old Montauk Hwy." - BONUS EPISODE interview with Jason Roth
Q: Let's talk a little bit about the phenomenon. For listeners who are unfamiliar with what a broadcast signal intrusion is, what is it?
A broadcast signal intrusion is when somebody hijacks a television or radio broadcast, usually illegally, and temporarily replaces what you're supposed to be seeing or hearing with their own message.
Season Two Episode Four "Macroscope: The Marty Catalano Incident" - BONUS EPISODE Interview with Nate Craig
Q: What kind of big break did you experience, and how did this project influence that perception?
The big break is often defined by a combination of opportunities and relationships; in this conversation, it's framed around touring with Bill Burr and the broader exposure that comes from high-profile gigs, which redefines what success looks like and how critics and audiences notice you.
