John Clay Wolfe Celebrates 20 Years on Radio with New iHeartMedia Deal

“For 20 years we’ve never tried to fit into a radio format,” said Wolfe. “We’ve simply tried to make people laugh. The cars brought people to the show, but the stories, characters, the guests and the friendships are what kept them coming back every Saturday. We’re grateful to everyone who’s been part of the journey and excited to welcome a whole new audience.”
