"Remembering Casey Kasem" On This Week's popGeezer Radio

Last Sunday, we lost a true radio icon, Casey Kasem. His influence on at least two generations of radio professionals is massive. On our blog, we have tributes to him from our Cadillac Jack, your popGeezer and he was inducted into our site's Hall of Fame.

This week, we continue paying tribute with a special episode of popGeezer Radio. Using the American Top 40 year-end broadcast of the top hits of 1979 as our base, we add in all kinds of extra gems from Casey's amazing career behind the microphone. Please join us Sunday 6/22 at 5 PM CT on the Mothership!
