Eddie Volkman Calls Into Hoppe Hour With Ryan Hoppe
Eddie Volkman joins Ryan Hoppe for a long, unscripted conversation that runs from the early days of Chicago morning radio to where Volkman's career stands now. The discussion covers his years on the Eddie and Jobo show, the working relationship with his late partner, and the lawsuit era when the pair returned to the air under watch from station management. Volkman talks candidly about being let go from common sewer media, the financial reality of losing a radio paycheck and its health insurance, and how he has built income from other sources. The two also trade stories about the radio industry's shifting economics, the difference between local and syndicated advertising, and why the old superstar jock persona has given way to personality-driven shows. Sports runs throughout, including the Bears quarterback situation and a few detours into road trips, Florida versus Illinois life, and a surreal moment hearing Eddie Volkman own on-air work resurface. For anyone who grew up with Chicago radio, or anyone curious about how the medium has changed, this is a frank look from someone who was there. 🎧 Music Disclaimer: The music featured in this episode is for educational, commentary, and entertainment purposes only.
