Don't let "the teens" terrorize Louisville, TAKE BACK OUR CITY

Don't let "the teens" terrorize Louisville, TAKE BACK OUR CITY

Author: NewsRadio 840 WHAS (WHAS-AM) April 28, 2026 Duration: 8:17
Two nights of violent behavior disrupted the Kentucky Derby Festival's signature Fest-A-Ville event on the Louisville waterfront. Per usual, it's "the teens." Some spineless leaders always make excuses for criminal behavior as though it's the city's fault for not providing enough entertainment.

Now the Fest-A-Ville must operate on reduced hours so that "the teens" limit their mayhem.

The real truth is that terrible parents allow their terrible offspring to roam around the city bullying, assaulting, and attempting to murder others as though there are no laws.

Stop making excuses for criminals at any age. They know they're committing crimes. Step up and take charge of the city so that taxpayers may peacefully enjoy the community that they fund for all citizens (whether or not they're contributors or just leeches living off the rest of us).

After all that, the Beasman loves to hear about Loserville's troubles and doesn't mind amplifying them to his sad Big Blue Nation.

Dive into the archives of a Louisville broadcasting legend with 50 years of Terry Meiners radio bits. This podcast is a curated journey through five decades of radio, pulling directly from Terry's personal audio library. You'll hear the actual comedy sketches, spontaneous news interviews, and candid celebrity conversations that defined his career across stations like WHAS, WQMF, WLRS, and WKQQ. Each episode serves as an audio time capsule, featuring not just Terry's iconic monologues but also the voices of the phenomenal broadcasters he shared the mic with, including Ron Clay, Randy Davidson, Mary Jeffries, Van Vance, and Cawood Ledford. It's more than a retrospective; it's a living history of local and pop culture, told through the cracks of the studio door and the buzz of the control room. The podcast offers a rare, behind-the-scenes feel, presenting these moments as they originally aired-raw, immediate, and full of the character that made Terry Meiners a fixture on the airwaves. For anyone who lived through these broadcasts or simply appreciates the craft of radio, this collection is a masterclass in commentary and connection, all pulled from the shelf and presented for your ears today.
