by Allen Stare

The WKRP-Cast is a week-by-week, episode-by-episode re-watch podcast spending time with America's Favorite Radio Station: "WKRP in Cincinnati". Extensive trivia, show background, performer background, hilarious commentary and a scene by scene rundown of all 88 episodes of "WKRP in Cincinnati". Hosted by husband and wife, Allen and Donna Stare. Allen started in radio at age 15 in 1980. When he walked into his first radio station, all he knew about radio came from watching the first two seasons of "WKRP in Cincinnati." WKRP launched a fun and successful 40 year audio production and advertising career...now, it's time to talk about it!!

What listeners say

A curated, balanced selection of Apple Podcasts reviews.

I don’t regularly listen to podcasts, but I adore this one. It’s clearly made with love, and a lot of work must have gone into creating it. For me, this is a bit like going back in a time machine… back to when I was 12 or 13 and watching WKRP in its first run with my family. That’s a good memory for me. Listening to this consistently makes me happy. Not much else can be counted on to do that these days. Big thanks to the Stares for making this podcast. When I finally reach the last episode of it, I’ll probably start over at the beginning.

Been listening continuously since I found it. Great podcast with fun hosts. Their enjoyment of the show and each other adds to the great guests and background of working in radio.

my3boysonly · Jan 2024

I just finished every episode of this podcast and I’m bummed. I cannot express just how much I enjoyed this series. Donna and Allen did such an amazing job. Not only do you get to relive the series, but the way give background on all the pop culture references that come up in the show really shows just how much time, care and love they put into every single episode. I may have to just start over from the beginning…

Christopher Todd Davis · Jan 2023

I have to admit I am new to the podcast arena…..and this was my first one to try. At first, I was very skeptical…..but once you get to “know” Allen and Donna, they be some the “go-to” couple you wish you were friends with. I have been a fan of WKRP since day one; Johnny Fever was my inspiration for choosing a radio career. I didn’t stay in radio, but the show has been with me all these years……and this podcast is just the thing I needed. From programming details, interviews with cast and crew, field trips, fashion alerts, trivia, etc., Allen and Donna never fail to entertain……their passion for the show is clearly evident in their presentation. Give this podcast a listen…..and I promise you will come away with not only a new appreciation of a highly under appreciated show, but with a smile and lots of warm fuzzies.😎👍🏼

I have long been a huge fan of “WKRP In Cincinnati”, so was excited to find this podcast, hoping that it would be a fun deep-dive into the episodes. I tried…I really tried. I listened to each podcast covering the episodes in the first two seasons. It’s clear the hosts are equally passionate about the show, and there is fun to be had - when they concentrate on the episode and the show’s related facts. But I just can’t listen anymore. Each podcast gets so terribly diverted off to an avalanche of tedious, useless, unrelated minutiae tied to some quote or offhand reference. Five minutes on Marilyn Monroe here, two minutes on Fruit of the Loom there…it’s just too much. It makes the podcast insufferable, because it turns the podcast into the worst type of “saccharine” syndicated morning radio program. I’d gladly trade a little less time in a podcast episode for more focus on what made “WKRP” so timeless. Hopefully someone can do this better.
