For more information, drop Joe a line!
#1: How/where do I hear the show?
J.B.: If you can't find an affiliate within your listening range listed on this page, then check out a couple of stations that stream on the Internet — but check them out before OFF THE RECORD is supposed to air! If you can't get one station to stream through your computer, then go to another. But do it before the program is supposed to air!
#2: Are the listed airtimes for the show accurate?
J.B.: To the best of our knowledge, the listed times are when OFF THE RECORD airs on our affiliates. But to be 100% sure, you personally need to verify the information by calling the station (check with directory assistance or look under "Contacts" on their website for the phone number). Unfortunately, most 21st century radio stations are extremely short-staffed, so don't count on a timely reply to your last minute e-mail inquiry.
#3: Can I get/buy a copy of the show?
J.B.: No, copies of OFF THE RECORD are not available legally. Since its very beginning, the program has been produced solely for broadcast. And be assured that Westwood One's legal team aggressively pursues protection of its copyrights.
>#4: Can you please forward/give/ask/tell...
J.B.: I have been dealing with artists on the air since 1968 and have been doing OFF THE RECORD since 1998. No matter what my personal relationships with individual artists entail, my professional relationship with each one does not include passing along personal messages/phone numbers/e-mail addresses/photos/items of clothing or food.
J.B.: I do want to thank my many guests for allowing us insight into their lives, and thank you for your support over the years! After all, it is all about the music!
