Was he a listener of the show or did he start listening after they started playing his messages on the air?
I think it was initially playing the messages, then that moved into using him on the show for things like movie reviews, the football picks, etc. If memory serves, Daniel probably never was a listener (don't think Stern was broadcast in Georgia), though I think he did probably see the E! show. He may listen now, though, via satrad.
I think Daniel played along a lot because initially it meant an uptick in sales of his KKK merch whenever they talked about him.
Listeners used to send stuff to the show all the time. The KKK Hotline was one of those things.
Like the Gay Movie Theater show times. Though that was actually done by another DJ prior to Howard.
Howard invented poaching bits. :hhh:Although he'd never admit, Howard has done his share of "poaching" bits. He listened to a lot of Steve Dahl tapes when he worked in Detroit.
Sorry but what is a "poaching" bit?
