neanderpaul — Fri, 20 Nov 2009 05:14:09 +0000

This was the station that I grew up listening to. I’m proud to say I got to work for them. Two hours after being fired by WAAF, WBCN gave me a job! Born in 1968…one of the first Rock stations in America. The station is gone now. It is one of the tragedies of the radio business. I have friends that I grew up with that hate the fact that I got to work there and they didn’t. (Hi John!) Click radio to listen

WBCN Boston: Thanksgiving 2005!

Working Thanksgiving Day is always fun. I love the progress of the day. People get sick & tired of their families. They start knocking a few back. And the “radio guy” is their best friend. Here’s Thanksgiving on WBCN w/Neanderpaul.

Oh yeah!!! There is nothing like Black Friday! The day after Thanksgiving! That special time of the year when people express joy & caring toward each other. Just like in the movie “Jingle All The Way”

WBCN Boston: Afternoon Fill-in Guy

neanderpaul — Fri, 20 Nov 2009 05:01:45 +0000

In a legitimate attempt to answer the eternal question: “Who are the biggest geeks of all-time (Star Wars? KISS? Narnia? Harry Potter?) Here’s an example of yours-truly, doing an afternoon shift on WBCN. It was always awkward to fill in on ‘BCN. Because everyone there knew I needed a full-time job, and I know the uneasy feeling existed. That’s what radio is…everyone trying to save their ass. While someone’s looking to take their gig. I wasn’t I liked everyone at WBCN, and felt awkward almost every time I had to work. They were good people. I hope they’re all well now that the station’s gone.

WBCN Boston: Generic Night Guy – Take 1

neanderpaul — Fri, 20 Nov 2009 04:57:00 +0000

Here I am filling in for my friend Mark Hamilton. Doing nights on WBCN was always interesting. Boston has a great radio audience. And, now that it’s gone, I SO appreciate my time on the legendary WBCN more with each listen. Feel free to laugh at the accents…it’s what everyone does.

WBCN Boston: Generic Night Guy – Take 2

neanderpaul — Fri, 20 Nov 2009 04:53:32 +0000

Here I am once again. Sitting in on a Friday night show. When I started my career, I did college radio on Thursday nights…traditionally the “party night.” Guess I’ve gone nowhere huh? Enjoy!

WBCN Boston: Generic Night Guy – Take 3

neanderpaul — Fri, 20 Nov 2009 04:49:34 +0000

WBCN’s Night Guy was a good friend of mine named Mark Hamilton. I used to love filling in for him because his audience was fun. And…I found that my old audience was listening now too! Here’s another example of me on WBCN from 7-Midnight!

WBCN Boston: Generic Saturday Night

neanderpaul — Fri, 20 Nov 2009 04:44:21 +0000

When I worked for WBCN, I wasn’t really doing a show. I was their swing guy. I filled in everywhere, and they didn’t have a full time slot for me. So, I’d show up at all times of the day. It was kinda cool because I got to interact with different people all the time. And…my listeners from WAAF were still finding me. It was a lot of fun. Here’s a Saturday Night on The Rock Of Boston (RIP)

WBCN Boston: Generic Saturday Afternoon

neanderpaul — Fri, 20 Nov 2009 04:33:04 +0000

Here’s me working a weekend shift on WBCN in Boston. This station is no longer there. But, at the time it was the Patriots flagship broadcast station. So…we made a big deal out of it. As a Raiders fan, this was acting at its best

WBCN Boston: Generic Overnight Blabber

neanderpaul — Fri, 20 Nov 2009 04:28:49 +0000

When I worked for WBCN, the Program Director actually asked me if I’d have a problem filling in on an overnight shift. I was like “HELL NO!” I get to screw off at night?…I’m in. So, here’s what a typical 3rd shift on WBCN sounded like when I was there. Some nights were busier than others. This wasn’t all that busy. This is what they call a “generic scoped aircheck.”
