The death of Len Bias: When the truth came too quickly

DC Broadcasting Great Andy Ockershausen Dies at 92

Longtime Washington media figure Andy Ockershausen died Wednesday. He was 92. Ockershausen began working at WMAL in 1950 and made $21 per week plus streetcar passes, the Washington Post reported in 1986. He rose to station manager and general manager and oversaw the hires of Frank Harden and Jackson Weaver as well as Ken Beatrice, and in 1981 chose Sonny Jurgensen, Sam Huff, and Frank Herzog to call games by Washington’s NFL team. While critics weren’t optimistic about the addition of Jurgensen at first, the trio clicked and became the soundtrack to the football team’s glory days if you grew up in this area, there’s a good chance you listened to them call games with your TV sound off.

Remembering the conservatives we lost in 2020

Ed Lazear Farber was a talk radio guy. Talkers magazine ranked him the 9th greatest radio talk show host of all time. Farber began hosting a talk show in New York City in the early 1960s. At first, he was a liberal anti-Communist. However, as the 60s wore painfully on, he moved to the right. My New York cousins used to talk about Farber, but I never had the opportunity to listen to him during this period. Eventually, Farber went national, and for a few years in the late 1970s, I listened to him fairly regularly late at night. Farber was an immense talent and a very clear thinker. I admit, however, that I remember him best for the commercials he delivered, especially for Prevention Magazine.
