S2XTRA3 - Re-Release w/New Intro (???)

Send a note to Allen & Donna…WELCOME BACK!
Hey, Fellow Babies! If you happen to be from the United States, a Happy and Safe Fourth of July to you! If you are from elsewhere, this is the week where happy citizens of the U.S. celebrate their independence by spending a fortune on fireworks and ER visits.  We are taking the week off for a little vacation...but we didn't want to leave you hanging without anything to listen to from the WKRP-Cast!! We've done a new intro to our MOST POPULAR download from the first year of the podcast. Got any guesses? It's NOT "Turkeys Away."

We also have a BIG ANNOUNCEMENT!! The WKRP-Cast now has a Patreon page! Thanks to you, our audience numbers have become 'viable.' Viable means there are enough of you listening to justify an advertiser spending money on jamming a commercial in front of your ears. Don't get us wrong, we like money but we DON'T like commercials. We'd rather not have one (or two, or three) in the show. The idea of making some money from the show is very attractive. We're nearing a point where JUST podcasting seems like a fun (and possible)  career path. This started out as a pandemic hobby. Lately, we find ourselves doing other 'real work' kinds of things and realize, we'd rather be podcasting!!

Hopefully, you value the work we're doing enough to support the show. This is all voluntary. We aren't holding the show hostage or anything. The weekly Tuesday episodes will remain free and available to anyone who wants to listen.  We do hope to be adding additional things behind the paywall...more interviews, roundtable discussions, extra background on things we find and, your suggestions! If you're a subscriber, we hope you'll help us tailor the content we provide to subscribers.

Ready to become a patron? It's easy! Here's the link...and thanks!!

WATCH ALONG DETAILS...
[Want to watch along with us? It's a blast!! We highly recommend the 'Shout Factory' boxed DVD set of the entire WKRP series. For reasons you'll have to listen to in the "Prolog"  episode, all streaming versions of the original "WKRP in Cincinnati" have had the original music cues removed. Generic music beds and stings were used in place of the original music for the syndicated version of the series. 'Shout Factory' has been able to restore an estimated 85% of all WKRP music cues to the original "as-aired" content for their DVD release. They've also restored scenes that had been cut to shorten episodes for syndication. The original eps ran 25 minutes. The syndication eps were shortened to 22 minutes. Over 88 episodes that's more than four hours of lost content, including the performance by "Detective" at the end of "Hoodlum Rock." Get the COMPLETE series...get the Shout Factory DVDs. The Shout Factory complete series box has a release date of 2014. All individual seasons of Shout Factory disks were released starting in 2015.]
