Hotline Feature – Crosstalk: Charleston Dirty Birds Opening Day, Billy Strings Update, and D&D on the Radio

Author: MetroNews April 23, 2026 Duration: 13:38

Dave Weekley, Coop, and Ryan Nicholson mark opening day for the Charleston Dirty Birds with a trip down memory lane to the Watt Powell Park press box era, including stories from running the South Atlantic League's first-ever graphic scoreboard. The segment pivots to breaking news that the Billy Strings concert in Charleston has been postponed after the guitarist broke his leg in two places skateboarding at the University of Virginia — with a rescheduled date set for August 4th. The show then delivers on a promise made exactly one year prior, as Ryan runs Dave through a beginner's session of Dungeons and Dragons live on the air, complete with character sheets, a goblin encounter, and Dave's character meeting an immediate and fatal end on his very first roll.
