The Dan Hardee Show

Dan Hardee and his long-time buddy Wes Woodfin crack open the vault of high school chaos in this episode of Hardee Hangout, reliving pranks, awkward encounters, and wild concert nights. Their stories wouldn’t be complete without their crazy friend Shad, who isn’t on the podcast because, well, he doesn’t like people. But his legendary shenanigans make him a star of the conversation anyway. This reu...

Dan Hardee sits down with Denver radio legend Dan Mitchell, whose career started rocking in the Mile High City in 1980.

The two Dans swap memories, talk about the magic of connecting with listeners, and r...

Everyone remembers their first concert—that moment when the lights go down and the speakers shake your ribcage. In this episode, Wes and I swap stories about our first shows and the wild memories that came after. Wes kicks things off with a killer throwback: the very first Def Leppard show in Denver. From sweaty arenas to unforgettable encores, we break down what makes those nights stick with you...

I sat down with my good radio buddy Johnny Wilde and we swap stories from behind the mic—everything from the ridiculous to the unforgettable. It’s the kind of conversation only two radio lifers can have, packed with laughs, memories, and a few ‘did that really happen?’ moments.

This week on the Hardee Hangout, I’m kickin’ back with my longtime radio partners-in-crime, Woody Powers and Bobby Adan. We’re talking all the shenanigans, chaos, and questionable career choices from when we first got into this crazy business—plus a few stories that probably shouldn’t be recorded… but we did it anyway.

This episode, I hang out with fellow Denver radio guys Big Rob and Mike Sanchez to swap stories from our lives behind the mic. From wild moments on-air to the chaos that happens off-air, we dive into what it’s really like working in radio—and why we still love it. Just three radio lifers shootin’ the breeze, crackin’ each other up, and pulling back the curtain on the business.

Before group texts and corporate memos, there was a whole lotta chaos, late nights, and questionable decisions. This week, I’m joined by one of the OGs who lived it all with me. My longtime friend "Danger Dean" Nedens hops on the mic to swap stories from our early days in radio. Some hilarious, some ridiculous, and all very real. From blown breaks to station stunts that would never fly today, this...

Radio is a really small world! Just ask Ian Rambo, a fellow crazy radio guy I randomly met on the streets of New York City. We’re talking his wild journey into the business, on-air screwups, and his perfect radio dream gig.

This week on Hardee Hangout, Dan talks with rock legend Gene Simmons about what the music business needs right now—and yeah, he even got him to spill on the weirdest thing he’s ever licked.

What happens when you mix a former MTV News producer, a Sony radio journalist,, and two radio people with no filter? You get this episode. Annemarie Jacar joins Dan for a wild ride through her insane music industry stories—from backstage chaos to booking bands to running into total divas (and rock stars who were surprisingly cool).

It’s stories about life, music, and the world from the tall, slightly twisted guy whose entire existence revolves around radio. I’m Dan Hardee, and this is where I overshare all the weird, hilarious, and unbelievable stuff I’ve seen on and off the air. Buckle up—it’s gonna get fun.
