In the 1990s Gary W. Morgan spent five enjoyable years on the air with J.D. Michaels at WFHR-AM Radio in Wisconsin Rapids, Wisconsin. The Michaels and Morgan Show (or MORGAN and Michaels Show as it was sometimes called), was an afternoon drive-time program filled with news, information, interviews and often humorous interchanges between J.D. Michaels, Gary and guests.
The aim was to be informative while being entertaining. During that time in the station's history it was one of the most popular shows. Some say the popularity of the Michaels and Morgan Show was one of the reasons WFHR-AM went from a music and talk overall format to an all talk format.
This excerpt is from a 1996 episode. This part of that episode features former Wisconsin Governor Tommy Thompson, who later resigned in mid-term to become Secretary of the Department of Health, Education and Welfare during the first term of the President George W. Bush administration. This excerpt also features former Wood County, Wisconsin Supervisor Joe Raubal.
You should be able to hear the excerpt if you have a program such as Microsoft Media Player or WinAmp loaded on your computer, as well as a sound card inside your computer, and speakers attached to your computer. Your computer speakers must be turned on and the volume turned up. You might have to turn the speaker volume way up, since the nearly 17 minute mp3 was mastered at a lower than normal volume. A newer re-recorded version at a normal volume will be available at a later date.
It may take a short time for the audio file to completely load. This excerpt from an April 1996 Michaels and Morgan Show will be ready to listen to when the arrow button shows up. Length:16 Minutes and 50 seconds, or something like that. Enjoy!
