ROCK N' ROLL CIRCUS #66

Author: Radio Wilder January 8, 2026 Duration: 1:51:08

Headline: Big Barks & Guitar Sparks! 🎂⚡️

We’ve got a MASSIVE show this week, but first—we’re blowing the party horns at home! 🥳 Our “baby” German Shepherd, Mikey, just turned TWO! 🐺✨ He’s HANDSOME, STRONG, a CHAMPION SWIMMER 🏊‍♂️, and definitely the COOLEST listener we know (he never misses a Friday night session). He’s celebrating with a knuckle bone the SIZE OF HIS HEAD, but we’ve got plenty of treats for your ears too! 🦴🎧

📌 The Sticky: We’re honoring the LEGENDARY Steve Cropper. Rated the #39 GREATEST guitarist of all time and the backbone of Booker T & the M.G.’s, we sadly lost him back in December '25. But LEGENDS NEVER FADE! We’re turning up the volume on his legacy this week. Rest in power, Steve. 🎸🕊️

🔥 Rare Deuces: Who has the GUTS to cover Led Zeppelin’s Immigrant Song? We found a group that didn’t just try—they CRUSHED IT. You HAVE to hear this to believe it. 🤯🔨

📚 From the Stacks:

The Librarian’s Pick: City Dump by Dyke and the Blazers 🎷

Host Fave: Open Your Eyes by The Lords of the New Church (ABSOLUTE CLASSIC!) 👁️

Plus: The Beatles, Soraia, The Who, Pearl Jam, and Leon Russell! 🎶

Grab a seat (and maybe a bone? No judging!) and hang out with us. 🗓️ THURSDAY | ⏰ 9AM EASTERN

You guys make the magic happen. LET’S ROCK! 🤘👽

Tune into Radio Wilder for a raw, personal journey through sound and memory, hosted by former drummer Harry Wilder Sleighel. This isn't a curated playlist or a formal interview show; it's the sonic diary of a life lived in rhythm. Each episode blends music with intimate, off-the-cuff stories drawn directly from over sixty years of a Rock 'n' Roll ethos-a perspective he's still actively living. The podcast feels like a late-night conversation in a backstage green room, where tales of the road, the studio, and the evolution of an artist's spirit flow as freely as the tracks he plays. You'll hear the records that shaped him, the behind-the-scenes moments that defined him, and the ongoing passion that fuels him. It’s this unique fusion of personal narrative and musical selection that naturally builds what listeners call the "Wilder Nation"-a community connected by authentic stories and the timeless power of a great song. Expect a direct, unvarnished, and deeply human connection in every installment, where the line between the artist and the audience dissolves.
