Episode 045 | August 18, 2026 – This Was Our Radio Station Now

D.B. finally has a home in Florida, a routine and a job he loves. Now it's time to meet some of the people who would turn Fly 92.1 from another stop in his radio career into one of its most memorable chapters. There was Booker—the prankster who learned the hard way that when D.B. says not to mess with him, he probably means it. There was DJ Sudario—a local club DJ who quickly became one of D.B.'s favorite people to work and hang out with. And then there was Drex.
