History
Started in 2017, the show is a genre change by the guys that hosted the Cranked Up Live - Hard Rock Radio Show for 7 years.
Show Segments
Advice from the Desk of Mr. Holland - A media company's error in printing Brad Hennington's name as Brad Holland in multiple publications led to the "behind the scene's" character, Mr. Holland. He's a super wealthy entrepreneur that gives male chauvinist, non-politically correct advice to the listeners.
Hick Picks - Each week, show contributor Psycho Dave finds the 3 great new songs that are played as part of the Hick Picks segment. Bands in this segment are mostly lesser known bands that are likely to be on the rise.
Cranked Up Five - Five of the fastest climbing songs on the National Top 40 Chart at Best Country Radio are selected and highlighted in this segment of the show.
Joke of the Week - It's a joke. It's done every week.
