1987 Christmas Show

Christmas was a special time in Bob's life. Every year he threw aside the vitriol and the challenges to his listeners and just settled in for a friendly, sentimental monologue reminiscing about his childhood, family, and all the Christmases of his past. This is the first of these shows that we have in our archive, always a favorite of his fans.

Happy Holidays from Bob Lassiter Airchecks! We'll be back after the New Year to start posting our clips from 1988 and onward.

Happy Talk

A serious, angry Bob starts off the show talking about a civil-rights group that wants to censor him, and asks for people to sound off. They don't. Bob just gets madder and insists on clean, happy talk that doesn't offend anyone. Almost in spite of itself, this is a good one.

The Last WPLP Show

One of the highlights of our collection -- perhaps of any Lassiter collection. A long monologue with a summary of his career thus far, from his early days on St. Thomas up to the night of this show with a special focus on his days at WPLP. Then there's an hour of opening phones with callers wishing Bob well on his new assignment.

Save Our First Amendment Rights

Bob outlines the FCC's April 1987 ruling against Howard Stern, and the SOFAR campaign founded by Neil Rogers. Essentially, a monologue about the perils of government censorship and how to combat it.
