O'Brien & Doug
Doug and Brian have known each other since junior high school. They didn’t become “O’Brien & Doug” until their widely popular radio show polluted the airwaves of their local rock station. Brian was "Chris O'Brien" on the air and had been in broadcasting for 25 years and Doug....hadn’t. They spoke to listeners on the air about what was important (Who was the best rock drummer? Should 80s movies be required for all high school students?). The magic continues in the O'Brien & Doug Podcast!
