1 week ago | wrat.com | Jimmy Steal

For what seems like forever, my friend and coworker for 16 years, Snackie Jackie Farago and I have discussed how our wacky, deep conversations about absurd topics should be either on the radio or a podcast. Well thanks to our parent company, Beasley Media's desire for more content for our listeners, we finally have done it! Behold The Rat's Oddcast. My favorite part of the Oddcast, and hopefully yours as well, is that there are no rules. No topic is to odd, stupid, or pointless.
WRAT's Favorite S#!t On The Show - Paying It BACKWARDS, Inmate Escapes, Beer Can Catchin' Canines

1 week ago | wrat.com | Carl Craft

To sum up the week... We have a woman insisting that the people behind her at the drive-thru will pay for her meal. I think she has the whole paying it forward thing backwards... An inmate gets impatient and escapes from prison just 48 HOURS before he was scheduled to be released. Also, Pongo the super dog was trained to fetch beers out of a cooler -- Gotts' favorite part of Bark In The Park 2025. Also...did you know Gotts enjoys Synonym Rolls for breakfast?

Gene Simmons Says Anyone Can Get Up And Play With Him On His Solo Tour

2 weeks ago | wrat.com | Carl Craft

Gene Simmons is doing a solo tour with multiple stops in New Jersey. He's bringing a self-described "group of killers" on the road to perform Kiss material. He also suggests that he'll be doing cover songs and requests. The fact that there's two local dates gave me the opportunity to sit down with The Demon via a zoom to talk about what fans can expect on the tour. From the sounds of it, he'll be taking a very different approach to what fans have come to expect from a Kiss show.
