Don and Mike Show - Others Featured On The Show

Others Featured On The Show

The show had a number of producers throughout its run. While at WAVA, John Nolan (1985–1986) was the first producer. Frank Murphy (1986–1991) opted to stay with WAVA when Don and Mike left the station for WJFK. Murphy has since moved to Los Angeles and worked at KROQ-FM and KLOS. Diana Silman (1991–1996) began the WJFK era for the show. She later left to become a program director on March 7, 1996. The current producer and a former show intern, Robb Spewak served as producer for a time after Silman and before Charlie Broyhill (1997–2001) arrived, followed by Lisa Herndon-Broyhill (2002–2004). Beth Ann McBride (2004–2005) left, citing the high cost of living in the Washington area, and to have her own show on WSJS in Winston-Salem, North Carolina. She has since left that job and returned to Washington to work on O'Meara's successor show. Robb Spewak picked up producing duties again until March 2007, and then again in October 2007 Robb Spewak took over the role of producer.

In keeping with the open environment on the show, phone screeners were sometimes featured on air. In addition to Joe Ardinger, Joe Rockhead, and Christine CK2 were featured. Engineers Darryl Nichols, Tony Diggs, and NRA member and gun enthusiast Wendell Hall received airtime as well.

Executives and managers at WJFK were also featured on the show. Former WJFK-FM production director, Chris Madzik, was featured frequently before he left in 1996 for Detroit. WAVA general managers Alan Goodman and Ken Stevens as well as WJFK-FM general managers Alan Leinwand and Michael Hughes were frequent targets for the show. Program directors Smoky Rivers, Jeremy Coleman, Cameron Gray, Greg Gillespie, Max Dugan, Matthew Verbin and Matt Farber received similar treatment.

Unlike other similar radio shows, the Don and Mike show did not always have an intern; those it did have, however, were often featured on the program. Producer Robb Spewak started as an intern. Other former interns included, The Menendez Brothers (Lowell Melser, Marc Ronick) Jimmy the Intern, "B.O. Bob" (Bob Cesca) (news intern reporting to Buzz Burbank) and, most recently, Matt the Intern (AKA Matt the Pole) who worked with the show from June–August 2007.
