SWEET DICK WHITTINGTON’S 1978 BIRTHDAY ROAST

More Sweet Dick Whittington for you to tolerate! This time, it’s a long audio piece that took place on the day before that 4th of July fireworks show I previously posted. Not much is personally know about Whittington as he is a very private man. What IS generally known is that his birthday lands on July 3rd. What year? Well, that’s another level mystery…. Anyways, here’s a slice of the original broadcast from July 3rd 1978, just as the KGIL-AM staff surprises Dick with an on-the-air roast, which includes a very young Joe McDonald WAY before his ESPN days. Later that day, Dick invites his listeners to call near the end of his show and tell him how much fun he had during his birthday broadcast….not only did I take up the challenge but I ended up on the air. Don’t think I’ll “podcast” THAT anytime soon…way TOO embarrassing….trust me…. Regardless, enjoy, Don-O
