This is how I have been feeling all year long! This has been a blockbuster year for 75 Radio! I will go through some of the events over the past year and the people who made it special!
CPAC
In 2023, I was able to get into CPAC as a credentialed member of the media! I was going to go on Liberty Roundtable with Sam Bushman but as usual, there were issues with the wifi! I was going to be in the middle or radio row but there was no wifi so I had to phone it in. So I set up my own thing on Radio Row! I was a squatter at CPAC! This IS 75 Radio!
CHARLIE LEDUFF
I first talked to Charlie in 2014. We have been friends ever since. We talk more often off air than on air. It was April that Walter first got to speak to Charlie. LeDuff had no idea who Walter was until he saw “The Seven Five.” He had that “Oh shit!” moment and booked him for his show The No BS News in June! LeDuff has always stuck with us. Charlie was part of our best and second best show ever! We will always stick with him! Pax vobis frater.
ED HUEBNER
Ed is a great friend and a great guest and has helped this show out immensely. Ed invited me to his birthday party and as a gift I was willing to do 75 Radio at his birthday party! Ed has helped me to get myself together and introduced me to one of our future family members!
MIKE RAKEBRANDT
Mike is prior US Navy and retired NYPD! Mike was with us and Charlie on our July First show. He was also a fill in host and a guest. Mike has never said no to us! Mike will be taking a bigger role with 75 Radio in 2024!
JOHN STUBBINS
John is the host of Indivisible with John Stubbins. I contacted him when he mentioned that he was having a fundraiser for his film “American Anarchy.” He couldn’t been any nicer. I had a great time and invited him on the show. We had no show prepped and he killed!!
TRUMP COUNTRY CLUB
John Stubbins allowed me to attend the fundraiser at the Trump Country Club. What an experience! I look forward to working with John and company.
LUCIANO DE LA TORRE
Special shout out to Luciano. Like Ed and Danila, Luciano is a one of a kind! He is always a blast be be around! In July he allowed me to tag along with Ed for an awesome Fourth of July party! I could imagine that conversation. “Luciano, I want to bring a guest who wants to do his talk radio show during your party!? “Uh, ok?” If it wasn’t for Luciano’s generosity and opening his home, we couldn’t premiere the world’s first Radio Spokesmodel.
THE FIRST LADIES OF RADIO
The term “First Lady” is usually reserved for just one lady. The wife of the president, governor, or mayor or one lady who pioneered a particular industry. Well, this is 75 Radio! We answer to nobody! We have two First Ladies we can’t be more proud to call family!
HEATHER POWERS MCBRIDE
I came to know Heather when she was the Press Secretary for then candidate Andrew Giuliani. She “got” 75 Radio.The campaign didn’t go as planned. Andrew moved on to WABC radio. Heather joined the 75 family. Besides filling in as a guest host and contributor, Heather also helped us behind the scenes. Heather also joined her old friend Andrew Giuliani this year on his podcast on WABC!
DANILA RODRIGUES
When I met Danila, I came up with the idea of a Radio Spokesmodel. She’s the only person I wanted for this position. I asked Danila to be our Radio Spokesmodel for a number of reasons. And she said yes! Besides the obvious, she has a great personality, good radio voice, gets my jokes and puts up with me! She also helped me on a number of other things. Danila’s first show on October 28 with me, Walter and Charlie LeDuff was one for the ages! More importantly, she has become a great friend.
WALTER
There would be no 75 Radio without Walter. We have been doing this show for over 5 years and have become best of friends, despite never meeting in person! Walter and I talk about once a week about what we want to talk about. And that’s it. We have no idea what we are going to say. We also talk about things going on in each other’s life. Walter was there when I was going through a tough time, and for that I’m eternally grateful. Walter is one of the most caring and sensitive person I ever had the pleasure to meet! And he is that man we watched in “The Seven Five.”
TALKERS MAGAZINE
The news/talk show “75 Radio Show” co-hosted by Walter Yurkiw and Peter “Scoop” Stanton announces that Danila Rodrigues joins the show as its “radio spokesmodel.” The program is syndicated by Liberty News Radio Network from its flagship station WMQM-AM/W227DQ, Memphis. The show says, “Danila has immigrated to America from Brazil to live the American Dream! And we couldn’t be happier! She has been featured in Moevir, Latinos Today and Pump magazines.” Rodrigues is the second female member on the show, joining special correspondent Heather Powers McBride.
When I saw that we made Talkers Magazine I was floored! Talkers is our Bible in our industry. What really made me smile was that Talkers mentioned all of us! Me, Walter, Danila and Heather!
As for 2024, I only see 75 Radio moving at full throttle! I’m already making plans and getting things in place! I want to thank my 75 Radio family, my new close friends and of course our fans! Stay tuned because you haven’t seen anything yet!
