Downloading Help

Bob Lassiter Airchecks uses Megauploads to store its files because it's free, fast, and allows good storage for large files. But we do know that it can be a little complicated to download, and have heard your complaints about it. Here's a little guidance, and we hope it helps:

When you first click on the links in our aircheck entries, you'll see a screen that looks like the one below. Pay close attention to the countdown window, circled here in green:


You DO NOT want to click "Premium Download." Instead, wait for the seconds in the countdown window to reach zero. When it does, a "Regular Download" button will appear



This will allow you to download files for free.

We are also aware that the Regular Downloads only allow you to download a certain amount of files before temporarily suspending your access. As such, we'll be trying our best to upload files in smaller increments to spread that out a bit for you.

(NOTE: If you want to pay for a premium account from Megaupload, that will allow you to download as much as you want for as long as you want, and without waiting 45 seconds first. However, we are not asking anyone to do this, and as such recommend the free option.)

Bob vs. Richard Shanks

While Bob is in Iowa for Thanksgiving, his crosstown competition Richard Shanks (center in the above photo) and WFLA colleague Jack Ellery take cheap shots at him. Bob comes back angry and ready for a fight. In one of our best clips, we also hear Richard Shanks' WPLP broadcast, and the ugly vibes being traded back and forth. A classic.

Lionel vs. Jacob

"We are setting up a classic here," says Bob, and truer words were never spoken. It's one of his dreaded Saturday shows, and Lionel calls in to challenge Jacob's primacy as the favorite Lassiter caller. Jacob strikes back, and it just gets better from there. We're also introduced for the first time to Jacob's girlfriend, Irma.

Friday with Jacob

There's actually quite a bit more on this Friday show, including discussion of Bob's insistence on buying American cars and his fundraising drive to buy a new studio chair. But it's when Jacob calls in for the last 20 minutes of the show that things really pick up.
