Episode 043 | August 16, 2026 – My Last Song in Biloxi

Episode 043 | August 16, 2026 – My Last Song in Biloxi Hurricane Katrina changed everything—including D.B.'s future at 107.1 The Monkey. With the Gulf Coast struggling to recover and possible layoffs looming at the radio station, D.B.'s boss gave him some unexpected advice: if another opportunity came along, take it. So D.B. started making calls. Thanks to a radio friend he'd never even met in person, two opportunities suddenly appeared inside the same building in Florida—and both stations wanted D.B. On this episode: Why Hurricane Katrina forced D.B. to start looking for another radio job. The career advice D.B. still believes today: never burn bridges. How an online community of radio personalities helped shape D.B.'s career. The man D.B. had never met who helped him land his next opportunity. Why two program directors in the same building were competing to hire him. Choosing nights on Fly 92.1 in Fort Walton Beach, Florida. The emotional final broadcast on 107.1 The Monkey. Why leaving Biloxi made D.B. feel like he was abandoning the people he'd spent months talking to after Katrina. The final song D.B. played before leaving Mississippi. Driving into Florida and realizing almost immediately that he'd made the right decision. And another temporary hotel stay while D.B. desperately searched for somewhere to live. Biloxi had become much more than another radio job. It changed D.B.'s career, his relationships, and his understanding of what being a local radio personality could mean. But eventually, it was time to move on. And once again, Kelly Clarkson somehow ended up providing the soundtrack.
