21. Happy Styxgiving
29:28||Season 6, Ep. 21It’s Thanksgiving in Val Verde, and while the rest of the station’s staff takes the day off, Whisp Turlington and Geoff “The Angry Man” Garlock are stuck doing a full-day broadcast — turkey cooker under Art Spart’s board, sponsored by Bert’s Funeral Flowers.Everything’s normal until a familiar blonde head appears on the Hawk’s ring camera:Tommy Shaw from Styx.Before they can hit the delay, Tommy locks the station gates and holds the station hostage, demanding they play Kilroy Was Here in full — claiming it’s “the real Thanksgiving record.”What follows is a broadcast filled with stuffing, softcore cinema, Styx lore and 108.9 The Hawk’s most festive hostage situation yet.While you’re getting all your Black Friday junk, why don’t you also help out you favorite classic rock radio station!Subscribe to the podcast on Apple, Spotify, YouTube — or whatever app you use.

20. After Whispstock
30:45||Season 6, Ep. 20The dust has barely settled in Verde Park — and the souls (not deaths, legally) are still being counted. Whisp Turlington and Geoff “The Angry Man” Garlock return to the air after Whispstock 25, the ill-fated eight-day music festival that celebrated Whisp… and possibly ended civilization.Whisp defends the festival, claiming the “482 deaths” were actually “souls captured and sent home courtesy of Whisp Turlington.”John Mellencamp stops by to explain his time working the funnel cake stand — and why you should never finger John Mellencamp.Geoff delivers a Good Rock Fact about Alfred Hitchcock nearly directing a Peter Gabriel movie.Whisp reveals his new liquor line, Turlington Cognacs, co-founded with George Clooney.Geoff and Whisp salute the ending of Greg Lemonsour's legendary podcast, "WTDG."There’s confusion, regret, and a Zamboni that somehow killed both people and animatronic bears.Do you want 108.9 The Hawk to do better in the ratings?
