Nepa Scene

In Episode 19, we hear some stories and opinions from the hilarious and outspoken Freddie Fabbri, a radio DJ and on-air personality on 98.5 KRZ, Froggy 101, WILK Newsradio, and Max 102 who also does stand-up comedy and even managed Breaking Benjamin in their early days. Before and during the interview, we drink some crowlers of Olly, Chasing the Dragon, Cloudy with a Chance of Apricots by Free Will Brewing Company in Perkasie, Pennsylvania, all beers that were featured in a tap takeover at Beer Boys in Wilkes-Barre, our newest sponsor, and our tastes vary greatly on these unique brews. Then we talk about what “Fast Freddie” has been up to lately; working in the radio business and how it stays relevant in the digital age with more competition than ever; the freedom of speech he enjoys on the radio despite working for a large company; using innuendo, pushing the envelope, and how he’s gotten in trouble with previous stations he’s worked for; the infamous “dildo-gram” story; being politically incorrect in 2017
