Yeah-Uh-Huh

If any of this episode sounds like old news,  it's not.  On Sepetember 11 local lawyer Eric "Bulldog" Deters hosted a massive "Trump Festival" on his sprawling Northern KY farm.  At the most recent CPAC conference Donald Trump realized 98% support from the conservative committee.  Though he has been muted on social media,  there is every reason to believe that the man that...

Jeff Demaree has been around the world.  When he sat down with Lisa,  Aaron and I last weekend,  we had no idea where he was about to take us.  Our notes suggested music would be the theme of the show,  and for quite a while it was.  Jeff was the saxaphonist in the successful Cincinnati band the Almighty Get Downs,  2015's live band of the year.  But the sel...

In part one of their Tom Petty Heavy Hitters episode TJ2 of the Rock and Roll Heaven Podcast challenged their listeners to come up with a set list for one of Tom’s pet projects, The traveling Wilburys.  We thought about listing them on one of their social media sites.  But as we reviewed The Traveling Wilburys Volume 1 and 3 and some of the non-Wilbury work the members of the super group produced,...

YUH Episode 16 - Terri Milburn My big sister is the snot nosed kid whisperer!  As a kid,  she would take me to the circus,  Holiday on Ice at Cincinnati Gardens and Summer Fair,  where she would show her mixed media artwork and macrome leatherwork alongside a collection of hippy friends straight out of the cast of "Hair".  I idolized my sister Terri,  and when she mov...

Have you ever found yourself hanging around the dining room table with family and friends downing a few cold ones and waxing philopsical about anything, and suddenly it's 1am! Where did the time go? The memories and laughter keep you going until the next time you see one another. That is kind of what "Rock and Roll Heaven" sounds like when you first dive in. But when you take the journey down one...

This may be our new favorite episode! To celebrate the release of David T and Mojo 3's debut album "Insanity, Sobriety and the Blues", Dave Maier and his charming bandmate Mary Ann Barnett turned our living room into a fully functional sound studio and laid down three original tracks that left our toes tapping and our brains humming with the dulcet strains of their music for days to come. Dave and...

Born in Kingston Jamaica and raised in the Carribbean section of Brooklyn New York, Sim Campbell has poured all of his life's experiences into a career as an author and rapper. His book "The Factor: When Death Before Dishonor is Tested" is a gritty, realistic account of an explosive drug war reminiscent of "New Jack City", "Kings of New York" and "Boyz in the Hood". Sim's cinematic style and skill...

It is understandable in a world threatened by cyber attacks and identity theft that some people like to limit their internet interaction to people in their brick and mortar lives.  We don't feel that way.  Without the risk of venturing outside of your circles you may never get to meet some amazing people.  Lisa and I met Jessica Brown on an internet messageboard.  She is a decorated veteran of the...

Evelyn LaTorre's memoirs, "Between Inca Walls", is a fascinating account of a young woman with a taste for adventure and travel who joins the Peace Corp. She could not have known at the time where her decision to pick Peru as her first assignment might take her, but over fifty years later you get a real sense of her contentment and serenity during our discussion. Evelyn talks about her childhood g...

This was a really fun show.  Our co-hosts Aaron, Lou Diamond, the Cowboy and I have been obsessively listening to Cincinnati sports talk radio all of our lives.  Flatbusher Andy Furman became a local media star on WLW "the Big One" after inheriting the nightly Sports Talk show from Chris Colinsworth.  With his background in PR and Marketing, Andy brought an East Coast flair to the c...

Sherry Shriner fell under the spell of a charlatan televangelist, borrowed elements from the wacky orgone "science" of Wilhelm Reich and worked the devil and his underworld of reptilian warriors from hell into her strange brew of right wing conspiratorial nonsense.  Author of "Dragged Into The Light", Tony Russo joins us this week to lift the lid on the Shriner cult, which is incredibly still...

We may be making a huge mistake by not "picking a lane" for our podcast.  One week we have a baseball coach,  the next week a published true crime writer... sometimes it is just Lisa and I shooting the breeze with our good friend Aaron.  This week,  we decided to use our forum for a movie reviews.  When talking about which films to break down,  we decided on the three...

You're going to get a whole lot of baseball in this episode, so if you don't like the game you might want to ride the pine for this one.  Our friend Bill Allen reports in from South Carolina,  where he has been splitting duties as a Social Studies teacher and head baseball coach for 23 years.  Bill is a very charismatic figure who can both startle and entertain an entire room all by...

It took a couple of weeks to get our distinguished guest on the show,  but it was well worth it to get a chance to talk with local historian/true crime writer JT Townsend.  JT has been busy the last couple of years working on the famous Bridgetown Bricca Family murders, culminating the release of his latest book,  "Summer's Almost Gone".  We certainly wanted to touch on the Bri...

To this day,  whenever Phillip and I come across an episode of MASH while channel surfering,  we just HAVE to stop and watch.  We have seen every one,  but somehow a joke we had fogotten or a character that had faded into the past resurfaces.  Phillip will never fail to ask me what the episode "is" during the opening credits,  when noone could possibly know.  He'...

Lou Diamond comes to us all the way from beautiful Northern KY.  If you have never heard of Lou,  you may just now not have known it as he has been involved in the local music scene for years,  a very skilled drummer with a soft spot for Peter Cterra and Leo Sayer!  In addition,  Lou has been involved in WLW broadcasts with Gary Jeff Walker and Andy Fuhrman, among others....

This week one of our best friends,  Aaron Leckinger, reports in from LA.  Aaron and Phil go way back to 7th grade,  and we catch up with the California convert.  We discuss,  among other things, "The Dude" and Jeff Bridges, his life in Hollywood, the skeleton in our closet,  Norwood High School and old friends.  Who's next?

In our first episode Phillip and I talk about what we want to do with our brand new podcast.  We were kicking around the idea of calling it "The Chat Lab" until we found out there were hundreds of pods with that name.  So,  we settled on "Yeah-Uh-Huh",  a homage to a phrase I use frequently to emphasize my approval.  To give you perspective,  when the preacher said "d...
