Episode 032 | August 5, 2026 – We Were Twenty Years Too Early

On this episode, D.B. continues the story of his early radio career by sharing one of his biggest ideas... a project that completely fell apart. But as it turns out, that failure led to friendships, opportunities, and experiences that would shape the rest of his career. On this episode: The ambitious plan to turn a radio show into a television show—years before video podcasts became the norm. Why one failed project turned out to be one of the best things that ever happened. The birth of The Hit Squad and why D.B. retired his own name as the show's title. Behind-the-scenes stories about Durr the Intern, Little Joe, and Dawn. The outrageous stunts that kept listeners coming back every week. The infamous "100 Grand" contest and why DJs across the country had to be very careful playing that game. How everything the Hit Squad learned eventually led to D.B.'s first paid radio job. Sometimes the opportunities that change your life don't arrive the way you expect. Sometimes they begin with a plan that completely falls apart. This is Part Three of D.B.'s radio journey. In the next episode, D.B. shares how all of those years of hard work finally paid off with his very first paying radio job—and the unbelievable place it took him. New episodes of The D.B.
