The Wilder Ride
Every year on WBHF Radio in NW Georgia, three of us get together for a special Halloween show. Fellow broadcaster, Barry King, aka BK, from his show "BK on the Air," fellow podcaster and my co-host on "The Wilder Ride", Walt Murray and I bring the audience our own special brand of trick-or-treating. Consider this a BONUS show and will have absolutely nothing to do with news or politics. What I do think you'll get in a lot of laughs, a healthy dose of inuendo, and lots and lots of Halloween related topics. For example, we will talk about our five least favorite Halloween candies; a couple of...

In this episode, hosts Alan Sanders and Walt Murray sit down for a chat with the host of the Von Haessler Doctrine, Eric Von Haessler. Although the goal was to start at the beginning, the discussion took on a life of it's own. Rather than the usual trip down memory lane, Alan and Walt spent time chatting with Eric about our current cultural state. It's impossible to know the fullest extent of social media and the internet, but it's hard to ignore the impact on society. From celebrities to politicians, becoming and influencer is akin to the accumulation of power. It's no longer about the will...

In this episode, Alan Sanders and Walt Murray chat with cowboy historian, performer and artist, Jim Dunham. Jim joined us back in season two as an Old West expert to help with with five episodes of Blazing Saddles. This time we wanted to get his history. Jim Dunham first became fascinated by the Old West after watching the Davy Crocket Show on The Wonderful World of Disney. The show led him to the library to read more about him and other characters from the West. By the time he was in college, he was taking acting classes and learning how to speed-draw and do gun tricks. Jim loved to learn...

In this episode, hosts Alan Sanders and Walt Murray interview author and leadership consultant, Sean Glaze. Sean began his career initially thinking he was going to become a lawyer. However, after getting an English degree, he was convinced to become a high school teacher. Within his first year, he was asked to assist with 9th grade basketball. His vision of perfecting a team strategy did not go as planned. As he says, he face-planted hard. The revelation that there was more to team-building than just X's and O's hit him hard. Sean began to formulate his thoughts on leadership and team...

In this episodes, hosts Alan Sanders and Walt Murray get to chat with B-movie actress, Sarah Lieving. As usual, the interview begins with going back to Sarah's beginnings and slowly working toward the present. Many actors get their start after getting bitten by the acting bug and Sarah was no different. She took the plunge and moved to LA and has never regretted it. The work was slow initially and the parts small. But, with hard work and determination, she began to grow her resume and gain more substantial roles. As a B-movie actress, she is quite rooted in reality, knowing the movies need to...

He loved to perform, working his way to the Apollo Stage at age 12. He continued to work on his talents, while also staying involved in sports throughout high school. His country called him into service just before he turned 20. He joined the Army and served almost...

In this episode, hosts Alan Sanders and Walt Murray sit down with Atlanta radio veteran, author and podcaster, Pete Davis. Well before Pete got into writing and podcasting, he thought he was going to be an actor. He wanted to move to LA and be a star. That was until he saw a live radio show. From that point, he was focused on a career on the air waves. And, sometimes, being at the right place at the right time is all a person needs. When the opportunity arose to be involved in an evening talk show, he ran with it. Along the way, he would bring up sports, movies, current events, politics, or...
info_outlineWelcome to our 6th Annual Halloween Spooktacular! Every Halloween, we get to play on the radio, from 9PM until midnight. Host Alan Sanders is joined by fellow broadcaster, B.K., and Wilder Ride co-host, Walt Murray. The three of us love chatting about the holiday and how it has evolved over our lives. We hit several subjects along the way, including our earliest memories, worst candy to get in our bags, movies we need to re-watch and scenes that still creep us out today. Additionally, we got to chat about "haunted" places we'd love to visit and what we would love to dress-up as if money were no object.
In the midst of all the fun, the three of us had a chance to interview Kyl Cobb, an actual ghost hunter, who has also participated in exorcisms. And there are plenty of laughs and stories all along the way. So, if you missed the live radio broadcast, here is your chance to re-live what we get to do now for trick or treat!
Our 6th Annual Halloween Spooktacular was heard live on WBHF radio broadcasting from Cartersville, Georgia. It was available on AM 1450, FM 100.3. We also make our 6th Annual Halloween Spooktacular available via our internet stream.
