  • The Inside Story of WHFS’s Rise, Peak, and Collapse With Weasel (Ep 21)

    The Inside Story of WHFS’s Rise, Peak, and Collapse With Weasel (Ep 21)
    Jan 13 2026
    Weasel spent 33 years behind the mic at the legendary WHFS, and in this episode of the DCRTV Podcast, he takes us inside one of the most influential radio stations in DC history. We talk about how Weasel got his start in radio and landed at HFS, then dig into the station’s two very different eras: the early freeform rock days and the later alternative rock years.

    Weasel explains what freeform really meant, including whether DJs truly had the freedom to play whatever they wanted. The conversation also covers the backstory of the station starting on 102.3, Jake Einstein eventually selling that frequency and moving the station to 99.1.

    We also dive into the origins of the HFStival, how it started as a small event, and how it eventually grew to a large event selling out RFK Stadium multiple years.

    Weasel explains that the HFStival became a huge money-maker for the radio station and unintentionally contributed to HFS’s eventual downfall.

    Finally, Weasel shares what it was like being moved from full-time to part-time at HFS and his transition to 94.7 WARW.

  • WMAL Turns 100: Tom Gauger, David Sproul & Tom Bresnahan Look Back (Ep 20)

    WMAL Turns 100: Tom Gauger, David Sproul & Tom Bresnahan Look Back (Ep 20)
    Oct 12 2025
    On October 12, 1925, WMAL signed on the air for the very first time. One hundred years later, we celebrate the station’s remarkable history with three longtime fixtures: Midday host Tom Gauger, Chief Engineer David Sproul, and General Manager Tom Bresnahan.

    In this special anniversary episode, they share what WMAL sounded like in its earliest days, the revolt that led to hiring Harden and Weaver, and how the foundation was laid for the station to become one of Washington’s great radio institutions. We revisit the personalities who defined WMAL through the decades, John Lyon, Trumbull and Core, Felix Grant, Bill Mayhugh, Ken Beatrice, and of course, Harden and Weaver.

    You’ll hear the inside story of the FCC fine that Harden and Weaver received, the impact of Rush Limbaugh’s arrival on the lineup, how the station changed after Jackson Weaver’s passing, and the big move from AM to FM .It’s a lively and fascinating look back at a station that has been part of Washington life for a century.

  • 37 Years Hosting Mornings At WINC-FM With Barry Lee (Ep 19)

    37 Years Hosting Mornings At WINC-FM With Barry Lee (Ep 19)
    Sep 3 2025
    For 37 years, Barry Lee was the friendly voice waking up the Shenandoah Valley on WINC-FM.

    On this episode, Barry looks back at how he started in radio, the story of crossing the street from 99.3 WFFV to 92.5 WINC, and what it was like replacing a legendary morning show at WINC.

    Barry shares the challenges of being a new morning host, working with multiple co-hosts over the years, and the secret to surviving two owners, and multiple GMs, and PDs.

    Barry also reflects on the major changes WINC underwent — from the Lewis family selling to Centennial to surviving the 2008 financial crisis and the pandemic.

    He talks candidly about what it felt like watching the station get sold, moved, and reinvented, and why he ultimately decided to retire after 37 years.
