WELCOME BACK!Detente with the Soviets means fact-finding missions and endless attempts at 'unity.' One of those many attempts has landed in the Queen City...Porkopolis...in the form of a Russian Hog Delegation. If beepers had been invented, Les' would be going off. Les storms the press conference with a vengeance. Bailey is his true secret weapon and he doesn't even realize it. The primary speaker for the delegation is smitten by the lovely Miss Quarters. He speaks to her personally and, in the process, passes her a note!He wants to defect...or does he? Yeah, he does. The lure of pretty girls, blue jeans and rock-n-roll is far too great for Mr. Ivan Papa...something or other. Les'll tell you.Ivan has the duds, he's got the attitude and he's got the backing of the WKRP gang. He does NOT have bureaucratic support for his move...and he might not be finding any diplomatic assistance in Cinci. Will Ivan find his Tiny Dancer? Will Mr. Anderson ever get his Carter? Will you know any more about what's going on after you push 'play'? In this humble reporter's opinion, those answers would be: yes, no and maybe. [HMOTD! Did you hear the mention at the end of our podcast where we talk about the OTHER WKRP podcast?? You may have already checked into the "Hold My Order" guys, but if you haven't, give 'em a spin (only after you've listened to our newest, of course). It's not a re-run! Rob and Mike's take on a WKRP podcast is pretty different from ours....it's a whole new experience for each episode.

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.]The WKRP-Cast is a weekly re-watch podcast spending time with the original "WKRP in Cincinnati" which aired from 1978-82.
