Monday, June 5, 2017, Volbeat hit Grand Rapids for a show at 20 Monroe Live. I decided to take you behind the scenes of a typical concert day for a DJ, including being on the air, the Meet & Greet, introducing the band, and rocking during the show!

We love a good fight! Boston radio show host Michael Felger's co worker Michael Hurley welcomed a child into the world and he will be taking some paternity leave to spend time with his family. Felger has a strange way of thinking about it.

If you are in radio you know that this is your worst nightmare! It happens too often and when it does, someone normally gets fired. Oops!

Hey, did you know that Monster Trucks are really loud? Especially when you get eight of them in a closed arena at the same time. Hot Wings, knowing about the volume, made sure his son and son's friend wore ear protection for the show. Hot Wings talks about why he protects his own ears, too.

If you didn't get the message yet, I, Metalhead Ned am leaving WGRD! It's crazy to think I have been here for 7 years! So in my last week, I want to share some of my most favorite memories of working at this great radio station.

Yes my friends, this is no joke. I am officially leaving my beloved rock station known at 97.9 WGRD.

If you read my blog, listen to me on air, or know me, you'll know that I have a massive up-session with video games. Even the majority of my blog at WGRD.com is about 95% about video games! Heck, I even make a video series on video games! So why didn't I get into a career focusing on video games?

We are live in Springfield, Illinois, today for The Free Beer & Hot Wings Morning Show with our affiliate, Real Rock 92.7 WQLZ. Our show is live from from a Knights of Columbus Hall.

On "The Free Beer & Hot Wings Morning Show," we got a chance to talk to comedian Kathleen Madigan. She was the very first comedian Free Beer and Hot Wings ever interviewed nearly 15 years ago!

A year ago, Danny Robinson was a dialysis patient on a waiting list for a kidney transplant. After hearing about Robinson's situation on, of all things, a Louisville, Ky., radio show, Ashley McIntyre stepped up and donated her kidney to Robinson, a complete stranger at the time.

Apparently, there's some kind of radio feud going on between ESPN's Colin Cowherd and Dan Patrick.

We were joined on the air on "The Free Beer & Hot Wings Morning Show" this morning in Phoenix by 14-year NFL veteran and University of Notre Dame All-American Bob Golic.
