Hey Taterheads - I still have the crud and the medicine has me Kaput! So I've sewn together parts and added new bits. I hope you enjoy and Come Back NEXT TUESDAY when I'll be as good as new ... FINGERS CROSSED! Love Ya, Mean It! Tater

Holy cannoli! Italy was wonderful, but that's not ALL Tater brought home! This week on Tater's Big Show Hangover — One More Round , Tater's back from her Italian adventure with stories of beautiful Florence, incredible food, Tuscan wine, and a few unexpected souvenirs! From cobblestone-induced aches and blisters to a four-hour Mahjongg Solitaire marathon at 35,000 feet, Tater shares the highlights...

What do a $600,000 windfall, celebrity gossip, and a trip through radio history have in common? Apparently… TATER! 😂🎙️ This week on Tater's Big Show Hangover — One More Round , I've got some BIG financial news. It seems I've been personally selected to receive $3.6million! There's just one tiny problem… and it's a good reminder that if something sounds too good to be true, it probably is! Then we...

Tater's in ITALY! 🇮🇹 But that doesn't mean the party stops! This week, we're serving up a little bit of everything! Some Tater talk, a fresh helping of Tatertainment, a weird news story that'll have you shaking your head, and a few listener comments! PLUS… as promised, Billy makes an appearance! We're catching up with my longtime Big Show Friend & Coworker for a little conversation, a few laug...

Tater went to beauty school once. Notice we said went to . We did NOT say graduated. 😂 This week, Tater shares the story of her brief-but-promising career in facials, fake eyelashes and waxing — including one unfortunate incident involving hot wax and an eyebrow. And somehow, all these years later, Barry STILL lets her cut his hair. Her professional guarantee? “It’ll grow back. It’ll grow out. We...

Yep. Before streaming, before prestige TV, before anybody knew what a podcast was… Tater had her big-screen-ish moment. 😂 This week, I tell the story of how a completely improvised audition landed me a role in Redneck Roots — a straight-to-DVD movie from 2011 that somehow found its way to Amazon Prime. Plus, a trip to the movies involves smuggled candy, Ziploc bags full of popcorn and a whole lot...

Ever have one of those weeks where “Oh damn” seems to cover just about everything? This week, Tater’s got a whole collection of them — cash disappearing from a pocket, an unexpected check in the mail, a prescription ringing up at $0 , an earring situation, and Arby’s steak nuggets that tasted suspiciously like… roast. Plus, after a week of football, flag football and baseball, there’s one question...

Who knew a dead car battery would lead to the perfect birthday gift? Tater gets home from Pittsburgh just in time for a mammogram, a dead battery and an unexpected Costco discovery that proves everything old really does become new again. Plus, there’s Tatertainment, John Boy’s Bloopers, Myrtle reminds us to “Honk If You Love Jesus,” and your listener comments— My Favorite part of the show XOXO. It...

Twenty-five years later , I stepped away from the microphone and let the voices, sounds, music and Big Show memories tell the story. This is my tribute to September 11, 2001 — to those we lost, those who ran toward danger, those who survived, those who still carry its scars, and a day none of us will ever forget. The interview was with Will Jimeno, the Port Authority Officer who was trapped in the...

Hey Y'all - I've been out of town to be with family and did not make it back to my home studio in time for TATER TUESDAY. I'll be back home later this week and will have a TATER THURSDAY EPISODE 35! Please enjoy an encore performance of Episode 15 ... I just love my nephew singing Happy Birthday in a voicemail to me - that I repurposed for his Mom's Birthday. As well as listener questions, some Ba...

Last week the world lost Dolly Parton. Everyone mourns the loss of this friend, she felt like one to everybody. She never met a stranger. Many of you asked for a Dolly Tribute Show. I hope this comes close to what you were hoping to hear. What an amazing time that was to be working in radio. To have a guest like Dolly in your studio. Thank You for all the amazing things I got to do with The John B...

Ever heard of a shirt YOKE? Neither had Tater... until she tried to order a football fan shirt and got schooled. Then we go behind the scenes of The Big Show to find out what was going on while you were listening to a song/commercial break - maybe a smoke break, coffee run, last-minute scripts and sometimes the microphone opening up before everyone was in their seat! Plus Tatertainment; a few good...

This week, I'm exhausted by the news... so naturally , I brought you more news. We've got Social Media News, My News, Weird News and Tatertainment News - Plus some of Your Comments, and a quick update from Lane Ostrow with Honor One / Coins for Courage. I also discovered, while trying to escape the news, that I've officially become my mother. There's cleaning, deep cleaning and then there's my mot...

After the incredible response to Episode 30, Tater says thank you - and gets back to the regularly scheduled Hangover! In this weeks episode... blue lights that aren't police, a psychic posts a flyer on a telephone pole, a bit of Tatertainment, Y'alls Big Show memories we discussed on social media and a touching trip back to the moments when morning radio became a safe space (before safe spaces we...

You asked for longer conversations... so here you go 🧡🧡 For Episode 30, I'm stepping aside and giving you what so many of you have been asking for: an extended visit with John Boy. For more than an hour, we sit down at the farm and talk about retirement, how he found his way into radio, meeting Billy, the early days of The Big Show, listener questions, unforgettable memories. You'll hear stories...

This week, Tater pulls up a chair at THE KIDS' TABLE with two very special guests: her 9-year-old twin nephews ( would have been BIG SHOW KIDS if the show was still on the air)... The kids were able to choose their own "radio" names for the interview. Please welcome Spiderkid and Crusty the Clown ! They've got opinions about grown-ups, the future, each other and plenty more - and some of their ans...

This week I'm covering a little bit of everything! We'll chat about the World Cup Finale, the smoke drifting in from Canada's wildfires, and my trip to a family wedding in Ohio. Plus, there's Tatertainment, some odd news tidbits, and a few comments and questions from Facebook & Spotify.

A guy carrying on a loud FaceTime call in the middle of a restaurant got me wondering...when did we all decide headphones were optional? Apparently there's even a term for it now: "bare beating". Personally, I thought we already had words for it.. like rude and inconsiderate!. But that's just me! This week I'm sharing that observation, catching you up on the latest Tatertainment, diving into a few...

This week I'm catching up on your comments after my visit with Jackie, answering a few listener questions, and sharing a couple of things I've noticed lately.... Why have hotel rooms become so high=tech while still getting the basics wrong? And whatever happened to people actually leaving voicemail messages? I'm clueless... We'll also dive into some Tatertainment News, hear a few classic bits, and...

Behind the mic and Behind the scenes. This time we dig deeper into what she actually did behind the scenes on The Big Show, what she loved about being on the show, and - yes - what she didn't love quite as much. We talk about the family feeling that made the show so special...from the people in the studio to the listeners who felt like they were right there with us. Plus, we revisit some classic s...

Coffee with Co-Worker Jackie Curry, Part 1! If you've listened to The Big Show over the years, you are well aware of who Jackie is. We finally sat down for coffee (and a bite of lunch) and turned the microphones on... In this first part, Jackie shares her origin story, how she ended up working with John Boy & Billy, what she's doing now, and parts of her "old job" she still does today. We also...

This week, I want to start by saying Thank You . The love, personal stories, prayers and messages after Murphie's passing have meant more that I can put into words. I'm reading every one of them. We tackle an important modern-life question: When did the grocery store become a dating destination? Apparently Harris Teeter now has a Taproom... which means you can meet someone in the Produce Departmen...

This episode, I needed to lean on my Big Show Family. I had to help Murphie, my almost 10 year old lab mix (her Birthday would have been 6/10), cross the 🌈 Rainbow Bridge. It's been a difficult week, day and night. I do have some visits from our friends though: Hoyt Oliver Glenn, Randy's neighbor, who watched his dog for him. And a Poem from Paul Harvey .. that says it all. Thank You for your und...

This week, Barry and I tend to the garden... and I have questions. Specifically: how many peas does one plant make, and why do we suddenly appear to be preparing to feed multiple families? We've also got a fresh round of Tatertainment, some fantastic listener comments from around the Hangover, and a visit from a few familiar friends. This episode includes: The purple hull pea situation Tatertainme...

This week on Tater's Big Show Hangover - One More Round...
