Re-Posting: Our Last Conversation with Charlotte Motor Speedway Founder and Stock Car Racing Icon Bruton Smith, who was also an Icon of the Keith Larson Show on WBT Radio for years. Bruton spoke candidly about what went wrong with NASCAR and what'll fix it. He also talks Donald Trump, then-Carolina Panthers owner Jerry Richardson, and had something to say about Larson. It was October, 2018. Bruton was 91. It was a Classic conversation. He remained and will always remain, the Emperor of Brutonia.

When Peter Tork died, I remembered him fondly from having been on the show a few times, including in-studio where he played a few tunes ("Pleasant Valley Sunday") and took some calls. He was a great guy. But I couldn't find a copy of the show. Leave it to the Internet. A podcaster and Monkees fan in Texas had my conversation with Peter from 2005 and posted it! I've grabbed it - and it's here in its entirety. Good Old Fashioned 50,000-watt WBT sound from 2005 including me messing around with Al and Stacey and some other in-studio yap. If you're a Monkees fan - or a long-time fan of our show - I think you'll love this.
