Episode Description

Welcome to the very first episode of Wease Family Circus! After more than 40 years on the radio, Brother Wease is back—this time in podcast form, and you're invited into the family. Recorded in Florida just before a Bills game, this debut episode captures the raw, unfiltered energy that made Wease a radio legend, now with a whole new twist: video, behind-the-scenes access, and complete creative freedom. Join Wease, his son and producer Satchel (Jake Levin), Doreen Levin (His wife) and the rest of the family as they navigate this brand new medium. Jake has built an incredible studio setup, and the emotion behind bringing this project to life is palpable. As Jake admits, even he cried watching the final cut come together. What to expect from Wease Family Circus: Throwback Thursdays: Dive deep into the archives with hours of classic audio from the radio days—Sam Kinison, Chris Rock, and countless unforgettable moments from 1992-1996 and beyond. For the first time ever, Wease can share this audio that was locked away during his radio career. Listen along live as the family reacts and shares stories you've never heard. Legendary Guests: Get ready for appearances from the whole crew—BJ, Cindy Pierce, Slayton, Shubi, Billy Dittore, and more. Plus sports icons like Jim Kelly, Thurman Thomas, and Doug Flutie. Wease promises to track down everyone from the glory days and bring you the real stories behind the scenes. Four Generations, One Panel: With perspectives spanning multiple generations, every topic—from sports to social media to pop culture—gets dissected from all angles. Lucy will be joining to challenge everyone and keep things interesting. The Untold Story: Why did Wease's radio career end so abruptly? No farewell tour, no two-week goodbye, just... done. Every news outlet wanted the story, but he didn't tell it. Until now. The podcast will reveal everything that happened on that final day, complete with exclusive video footage that captures the emotion and drama behind the scenes. This episode also features plenty of classic Wease tangents: debates about Tony Romo, the Manning Cast, and football announcers; rants about people commenting on fictional TV characters from Landman; Miami Hurricanes fandom; the obsession with Costco; car spotting in South Florida; and why sunsets and sunrises are overrated (or are they?). Wease also addresses the haters head-on, proudly owning his age and experience: "I've been on this planet longer than you, and every day you learn something." He welcomes all feedback, good or bad, and encourages listeners to drop comments, call the new phone line (585-720-0000), and suggest guests and ideas. This is just the beginning. The Wease Family Circus is about to take you on a ride filled with nostalgia, laughter, raw honesty, and a whole lot of heart. Whether you've been a fan since the radio days or you're just discovering the legend, there's a seat at this table for you. It's nice to be important, but it's more important to be nice.
