KLOS (Los Angeles) Jim Ladd's Living Room 5/10/00  
These clips are from the Jim Ladd's Living Room Broadcast --an hour of music and chatting with Don. We're putting these clips up here for a limited time. The program was broadcast at 1:00a.m and not many people got a chance to listen to it. So many people have asked to hear it, we thought we'd stick it up for a while, even though it is huge. Thanks go to a kind soul who did all the work on this one. We don't mean to infringe on the rights of Mr. Henley, Mr. Ladd or anyone else, please just listen to the broadcast, get really fired up, and then go buy Inside Job!

Bob and Tom  (Midwest Syndication) 6/21/00  Very funny, very different interview with Don and Richard Bowden. Our exploits get a mention. Just a warning, as is the case with many morning DJs some of the content can be considered off-color and racially nasty.
