I had an absolute blast doing this week’s episode, and it’s finally official that E. will be my co-host.

Inside Pod 25 this week…

• Mike Gundy rightfully goes ballistic on Daily Oklahoman reporter Jenni Carlson.
• E. and I briefly talk about the new season of shows on TV.
• John Bolaris can’t talk about his contract negotiations anymore, but it’s worth noting that he’s already moved back to Philadelphia.
• Bill O’Reilly isisn’t a racist; I wonder aloud why he’d leave the Radio Factor now that he’s been handed all this publicity.
• Philadelphia station WBEN-FM (95.7 Ben FM) is going completely commercial free on Mondays between 9AM and 5PM; we talk about how unusual it is for corporate radio to get it right and how refreshing it is to see it.
• I get all geeky talking about B101’s music survey from last week, and we discuss the B’s move to actually keep “Fresh” from ever coming to Philadelphia.
• Everybody thought Chris Conley was starting his own consulting firm.  Everybody was wrong — he’s joined McVay Consulting.  What does this mean for B101, and will the B101 model of doing things start to show up on Clear Channel stations now?
• Weekly Stupid: Hannah Montana shows sold out in a matter of minutes nationwide.  Will Disney FM be far behind?
• Mark Ecko is putting a big ol’ asterisk on Barry Bonds’ record-setting home run ball before he sends it off to the Hall of Fame.
• The Red Sox made the playoffs!  Awesome.

The Pod 25 theme music is “Never Get Out” by Brad Sucks.
