From Imus to Stern: Behind the Mic with Al Rosenberg

During the Summer of 2021, Al Rosenberg came on Reckless Airwaves Radio to share candid, behind-the-scenes stories from his time working with Don Imus and Howard Stern. The episode covers his early days at NBC, the wild, unscripted chaos of the Channel 9 Stern show, and vivid studio anecdotes — from outrageous skits to celebrity guests.

Topics include Imus’s post-rehab changes, his relationship with staff, Howard Stern’s rise and creative drive, the friction and rivalry between the two hosts, and the famous Blackface/controversial bits that would be unacceptable today. Rosenberg also discusses cancel culture, radio’s evolution, and the loss of the medium’s golden era.

Host Sam Namo opens the episode with a long-form take on the viral "Phillies Karen" incident at the Marlins game, blaming stadium security and criticizing the father who handed the ball over — the segment becomes the show’s Weekly Gargoyle pick and spawns the Clown of the Week picks as well. Namo also breaks down the Mets’ disappointing season thus far, discussing pitching injuries, underperforming veterans, and the hope pinned on three young starters for next year.

The great Frankie McDonald joins with a weather roundup — heat waves across the central U.S., international rain events, and hurricane remembrance — plus light banter about phones, birthdays, and odd news items. The show closes with regular segments: Weekly Gargoyle, Clown Of The Week & Hot Girl of the Week.

On this episode of Midnight Hostility Radio, Sam Namo dives into a lengthy Mets breakdown: a look at the team's late‑season playoff push, struggles from Kodai Senga and Sean Manaea and the surge of young arms like Nolan McLean, Jonah Tong and the call‑up case for Brandon Sproat. He also reviews the offense’s upswing led by Juan Soto, Francisco Lindor and Pete Alonso.

The Legendary Frankie McDonald returns with weather updates from Nova Scotia and global forecasts, plus chat about recent happenings in Canada, Halloween plans and birthday shoutouts. The show also touches on NFL division predictions with Frankie. Frankie also gives his thoughts on the latest in the news including Raja Jackson's wrestling debut attack/debacle on some indy show.
