For nine years, Bernie Fratto has been a granite countertop of weekend overnight radio on Fox Sports Radio — dependable, durable and somehow still standing after years of exposure to the radioactive waste known as the broadcasting business. A longtime pinch-hitter on the Ben Maller Show, Bernie drops by the Audio Sweatshop before taking a sabbatical from professional gasbaggery. Bernie and Ben unlock the Nostalgia Vault, dust off the broadcasting fossils and swap you-can’t-make-this-up tales from the Radio Wars — strange bosses, stranger decisions and enough broadcasting malpractice to fill a Costco. It’s a Fifth Hour exclusive! Climb aboard the Nostalgia Train as we travel back to radio’s wonderfully dysfunctional past, where common sense went to die and every hallway had a story.

All aboard!
