Episode 46: Ask Wolfman Jack

“Crying in the Chapel” by The Orioles plays as Debbie gives Terry a second chance by making a date for tomorrow night, then Curt goes to KRE in Berkeley to find Wolfman Jack. Heidi Bennett of Vibrant Visionaries joins Tierney to talk about the movie’s Nighthawks at the Diner moment, Terry’s Indiana Jones moment, that Orioles magic, how Robert Weston Smith became Wolfman Jack, and on-air personas.
