Neil Rogers, Rick Shaw, WSHE, & Touring with KISS
02/21/24 • 20 min
Text me your favorite South Florida memory.
From WQAM in the 60's to WSHE's album rock in the 70's to the new sounds of Country music in the 80's and the advent of great talk radio which would dominate South Florida radio in the 90's, we're taking a TALK down memory lane and reminiscing about the evolution of radio in South Florida over the decades, from its vibrant music scenes to the rise of radio personalities like Rick Shaw and Neil Rogers.
Each era brought its own unique flavor to the airwaves, reflecting the changing tastes and cultural shifts of the times.
And BTW what is the story behind Bill Monty on tour with KISS?
SHOW CORRECTION: While Barry Rose is great at hosting FB pages, the Neil Rogers podcast is not one of his. That's actually Michael Allen Smith. Go listen to the old tapes on the Neil Rogers Show podcast. They were my inspiration for this episode. I listen all the time.
My apologies Michael and thanks for the Neil memories. Somedays I'm just an agent provocateur.
NOTE: The promo for Cirque du Soleil ended in April 2024

Pioneer City, the Kapok Tree Inn and Long Key Nature Center
Text me your favorite South Florida memory.
Step into the wild and untamed west of Broward County, where history echoes through the dusty streets of Pioneer City.
Once a bustling replica of Dodge City, Kansas, with its own train, shoot-outs, and dancing girls, it vanished as quickly as it came. But the legacy it left behind is etched in the annals of South Florida history.
Join your host, Bill Monty, for another captivating TALK down memory lane on "Tales From South Florida." From the roar of revolvers to the whispers of bygone eras, to the unique themed restaurant that sprang from the loins of Pioneer City to the tranquil nature center that exists now, immerse yourself in the stories that shaped the soul of this captivating region.
NOTE: The Cirque du Soleil offer expired April 2024.
