The Wonder Show

A HISTORY

Jim!

June 1996 - Jim the Radio Guy begins the Wonder Show on the college radio station WEBU 660 AM, armed only with a stack of novelty records and a comic "boinger".  It airs every Wednesday afternoon.
July 1996 - Mike the Radio Guru (then called Mike the Special Guest) first appears on the Wonder Show

July 1996 - After hearing Jim and Mike perform their show, WEBU's manager immediately offers them a twice-weekly time slot on the condition that they team up and host it together!
October 1996 - Based on their increasing popularity, Jim and Mike are asked to expand The Wonder Show to four times a week!

Jim and Mike...with love!
The Trio!

April 1997 - John the Radio Gross joins the show, completing the trio!  The Wonder Show is now airing 5 times a week -- the station's first (and to date only) daily morning show!
May 1998 - After two years, the deejays call it a day with AM radio and move down the dial to FM - WFUN 95.5FM, to be precise!  John, still attending college, neglects to join, leaving Mike and Jim a duo again.

Out of work!

February 1999 - WFUN is sold and everyone loses their jobs, including our Wonder deejays! 

Is this the end of the Wonder Show???

May 2001 - The Wonder Show reunites to attempt to make a feature film! 

Hollywood is not impressed.

Movie time?
The Wonder Show...and a gorilla?

December 2006 - The Wonder Show reunites again - this time for a less ambitious series of short films.  Although ten shorts were filmed, to date only three (edited together as "Guns, Ghosts & Girlfriends") have seen the light of day...
August 2008 - The Wonder Show returns where it belongs -- on radio!  BlogTalkRadio, to be precise!

Together again!



Back!
