Riter Radio

Driverless cars are passing school buses in Texas and Scott Wilson launches a strong case in defense of Bulls First-team All-MAC WR Victor Snow against absurd internet allegations. Or, as AI says... Episode 220 starts with Brad juggling a wave of new tech upgrades — a fourth screen, YouTube chat integration, Spotify-driven music automation, on-screen song info, and a slowly growing “Brad-approved”...

Brad opens episode 219 by roasting himself for still forgetting to clear his throat before turning on the mic after “30 years of broadcasting,” then pivots into life updates and small crises: dropping off nine league basketballs at sponsor Brian Janak’s office, doing the show in dog-print pajama pants, and refusing to be a “grocery store pajama pants guy.” From there he talks about running the sho...

Brad opens Episode 218 in full chaos mode: no printer, a dozen handwritten notes, too many browser tabs, and a sponsor read that morphs into a bit about aging, AARP mail, and future Medicare panic. Then the hotline rings and Jeremy White drops in live to announce the return of “60 Songs That Explain the ’90s (The 2000s)” with a new episode on “Hallelujah.” That sets off a long, joyful riff on Rob...

Brad returns from a week off for Episode 216, explaining his obsessive need for the episode numbers to line up with the calendar and how a broken printer and a new drum set destroyed whatever structure he had left. He talks about the chaos of letting a 13-year-old have a full acoustic drum kit in the house (on top of guitars, trumpet, trombone, piano, etc.), the way sound now fills every corner of...

Brad opens Episode 215 by explaining his intentional media blackout after the Bills’ loss — no postgame shows, no pundits, just his own thoughts written down in real time during a night he fully expected to end in a win. He walks through the chaos of a busy week, a looming break from live shows, and the surreal political story that hijacked his morning before he could even get to the football. Fro...

Brad opens Episode 213 completely consumed by a viral funeral-DJ video (“DJ Aldo”) that he and his kids watched on loop for hours, declaring it the funniest thing he’s ever seen and wishing he could just run it on the show 45 times straight. But it’s a UB Bulls football day — cold pajama pants, Bulls hat, Bulls jacket, and a mountain of pregame work still undone — so he forces himself into host mo...

Brad opens Episode 212 sounding stuffy and mildly broken, insisting he isn’t sick but maybe needs tea, a humidifier, or “some Mentholatum.” That sends him into a long, funny reflection on his kids’ school-sickness history — who’s thrown up at school, who hasn’t, and how the COVID mask era has already become a half-fuzzy memory in the Riter house. Drew is home because he vomited at school yesterday...

Episode 211 of Riter Radio opens with Brad battling his buttons, his countdown clock, and his general belief that after 211 episodes he should have this figured out by now—yet absolutely does not. From there he dives into Bills-Bucs, celebrating the return of “Bachelor Party Josh,” the chaotic, joyful, reckless version of Josh Allen that throws a two-handed end-zone pick and then immediately remin...

Brad opens Episode 210 deep in a full-system technical collapse, sweating through Windows updates, broken audio routing, a missing headset, and a 25-minute late start that becomes the thesis of the show: this is why Kermit says “whenever you feel like showing up.” Once he’s finally on air, Brad unloads a massive rant about fake certainty in sports analytics — win probabilities, catch percentages,...

Brad drags himself into Episode 209 on three hours of sleep after a brutal midweek UB road trip that involved buses, airports, dead headsets, and setting up a half-functioning studio 45 minutes before airtime. The whole first half of the show is a foggy, funny confession about trying to run Riter Radio while living inside a travel hangover — mismatched cords, uncooperative mixers, a missing light,...

FUN EPISODE despite the fact that there's no video, my headset breaks mid-show, and the end of the show is completely missing BUT... Scott Wilson, Paul Peck, and Bob Gaughan all join the show -- which comes to you from a hotel room in Lansing, Michigan on the morning of the UB Bulls' midweek MACtion contest against the Central Michigan Chippewas.

Scott Wilson, Paul Peck, and Bob Gaughan all stop by to join the live broadcast from a hotel in Lansing, MI. Or, as AI puts it... Brad hosts Episode 208 live from a cramped Lansing, Michigan hotel room, where the show opens with no music, a fixed lamp he can’t move, and a one-camera setup that forces him to leave “Collinsworth slide-in space” for Scott Wilson to physically enter the frame. With UB...

Today's episode is audio only on both Spotify and YouTube but we'll be back to video tomorrow. The Bills fall to 6-3 in Miami while the Colts, Broncos, and Patriots each improve to 8-2. What does it all mean? Scott Wilson joins to discuss all of the above plus the situation with Brian Daboll and the New York Giants. Oh, and former Panthers' lineman was in the news this week after his e...

Fun episode... it's my birthday! No video today. Sorry. Brad celebrates Episode 205 on his 51st birthday by immediately proving he’s “elderly” — spending the cold open fighting with his own reflection, trying to point at Khalil Mack on the studio wall while forgetting that monitors aren’t mirrors. That kicks off a full birthday ramble: the viral “It’s Your Birthday, Name ” song he blasts at ev...

Birthday show featuring Scott Wilson!

I'm joined by former UB QB and current Will South HS football coach Joe Licata to discuss his journey and upcoming playoff game. Then my 9-year-old jumps in to discuss HIS upcoming venture into this medium thanks to the Bills Podcast Club at his elementary school. Bring back my #MACtion, ESPN/YouTube! Or, as AI puts it... Episode 204 opens with Brad drowning in guilt over forgetting to play th...

Mamdani wins, ABC vs YouTube TV, Kim Kardashian's show gets awful reviews, and Bob Gaughan jumps in for his weekly appearance. AI says: Episode 203 finds Brad deep in midweek chaos — Election Day confusion, nonstop kid illnesses, broken routines, fundraising overload, and the creeping sense that he’s forgetting twelve things at once. He recounts accidentally voting for people simply because th...

Brad opens the show in full “I don’t know why I do anything” mode before diving into a surprisingly joyful recap of the previous day — a meeting with Jeremy Hoyle that turned into discovering the perfect venue for the trivia empire he’s been dreaming about for years. After touring The Kaz in South Buffalo and stumbling into a private rehearsal from a freakishly talented young guitarist, Brad becom...

Brad opens Episode 201 in full technical-panic mode, convinced the audio is broken and the graphics he spent 14 hours perfecting have vanished into the software void. After a few live on-air meltdowns, he discovers they’re not gone — just hiding — and immediately apologizes to the audience for making the show about the show. From there he recaps a busy weekend: UB’s dominant win at Bowling Green,...

Title is self-explanatory. AI: Riter Radio celebrates its 200th episode in the only way it could: chaotically, lovingly, and entirely pre-recorded while Brad, Scott, and the UB football crew hurtle down the Thruway toward Bowling Green. The show opens with a flood of congratulatory messages from the Riter Radio extended universe — Bob Gaughan delivering a Stone Cold Lock teaser, Ray Walter compari...

Paul Peck makes his triumphant return and explains his two-week absence from the UB football broadcast.

TBD

It took awhile but here's the first episode of Riter Radio that we've ever posted in video form. We're adding bits and pieces along the way as we turn this thing into a "real" show. Scott Wilson makes his second appearance of the week to discuss World Series ticket prices, the NBA/poker gambling scandal, and the upcoming weekend in pro and college sports.

Tried something new with this one. We start by airing/commenting on the live press conference from Brooklyn regarding the arrest of NBA head coach (and HOFer) Chauncey Billups and current player Terry Rozier. Then Paul Peck jumps in to recap what we heard and discuss gambling historical and current relationship with the world of sports.

A brief explanation of yesterdays's technical difficulties followed by a pair of guests. Bob "Grindr" Gaughan makes his weekly appearance and, with no Bills game to discuss, dives right into breaking down communication issues in America. Then Josh Gregory, host of the Uncle Josh's True Scary Stories podcast, joins for a connection about the paranormal.
