Let's call this a dry run for re-starting this as the Bob Lassiter Airchecks site, and to try it we're starting with our oldest and rarest clip: Bob Lassiter and David Fowler on the air for the 1985 WPLP birthday celebration at the Bay Area Outlet Mall in Clearwater.
For Lassiter fans, this one has an awful lot of fascinating moments: David Fowler mentions being "the most popular host on the station" (Bob had only been there for 3 months at the time); Lassiter mentions that this is his first time ever meeting soon-to-be-nemesis Tim Coles; and he has an on-air chat with another WPLP employee he doesn't know too well, a woman named Mary Turner.
(If you've got other airchecks from around this time, please email us!)
