Vans and the Man Debut: Dolly Parton, Song Swaps, and Finding New Music Across Generations

Boerne Radio debuts “Vans and the Man” on Boerne Radio 103.9 FM Featuring The Father Daughter Team of Baron Wiley and “Vans” Wiley, Boerne Radio’s assistant music director, as they talk about their lifelong habit of swapping songs—his 20th-century favorites and her 21st-century discoveries..

Vans explains how she’s built monthly Spotify playlists since 2018 and how the October 2026 list includes multiple Dolly Parton tracks, leading to a deeper conversation about Dolly, including Vans visiting Dollywood shortly before Dolly died and learning the news online while working.

They discuss Dolly’s connection to Miley Cyrus, Boerne Radio airing Miley’s Bob Dylan cover “You’re Gonna Make Me Lonesome When You Go,” and Vans recommends Dolly essentials: “9 to 5,” “Coat of Many Colors,” and “Bargain Store.”

They plan future artist-focused episodes and plug their Spotify accounts and Boerne Radio platforms.

As heard on Boerne Radio 103.9FM at 11:30am on 10/10/26

Boerne Radio’s Town Hall host Baron Wiley interviews Dr. Adrianne Wolfe, the Democratic candidate for Kendall County Justice of the Peace, Precinct 1, ahead of the November 3 election with early voting starting October 19.

Wolfe, a retired US Navy veteran with over 20 years of service including military law enforcement, a criminal justice degree from Michigan State, and experience teaching business and leadership, explains that a JP handles matters like small civil disputes, evictions, neighbor conflicts, truancy, and late-night death scene duties.

She emphasizes fairness, accountability, transparency, visibility, and listening so people feel heard even if they dislike outcomes, and discusses balancing compassion with applying the law. Wolfe notes she sees no immediate need for changes, praises the incumbent’s work, and asks for votes and volunteers via WolfForJP.com and Facebook.
