Mike O'Meara (and friends) are back broadcasting — with a free podcast!

If you read the old blog, you'll recall one of my first posts was a lament over former Don & Mike co-host Mike O'Meara getting canned from his long long longtime gig at DC talker WJFK-FM, which flipped to sports a few months back.

He and his cohorts are now out from under CBS' contract restrictions and have come back together to give us BM eaters an all new one hour show in podcast form.  How 21st Century!

Mike, newsman Buzz Burbank and all around good guy Robb Spewak have teamed up with Oscar Santana from the also-expired Big O & Dukes afternoon show for the new gig, recorded each day in Mike's own living room.  Nineteen hour-long netcasts are in the can and the show is already hitting its stride.

If you remember the show (and if you listened to talk radio in Mobile any time in the 90's, you probably do), you'll like what the new show has to offer.  Lots of sound bits, spot-on impressions, pop culture talk and general ballsing-about.

You can stream or download the show by going to http://www.mikeomearashow.com/.  It's also available via RSS feed and iTunes subscription, so get yourself a big ol' piece of chocolate pie a mile wide, climb into the nearest crawlspace and get ready America, cuz here comes funny.

The show is also being broadcast on Iowa City's KCJJ, and I'd be remiss if I also didn't mention that Robbay also has a weekend music show on the station, and it too is available for download.  Every show is a reminder of how great radio used to be, so I recommend it as well.
