local radio host
1 Stevie G and Tpot, B97 (www.b97.com) “They got married so you don’t have to.” So says a promotional bump that sometimes bookends The Afternoon Swirl, Stevie G and Tpot’s long-running, chatty entertainment news and gossip show that airs from 2 p.m. to 6 p.m. weekdays on B97. And it’s true: Half the fun of listening to the show is the ability to eavesdrop on the good-natured, literal old-married-couple bickering of its hosts, who reportedly met and got together while working at the radio station. In between Top 40 spins, catch Stevie G’s faux-exasperated sighs and pedantic explanations of the day’s hot takes to a cheerfully oblivious Tpot, as well as Tpot’s high-pitched but no less vociferous defenses of classic Britney Spears jams and her sweet stories about the antics of their young daughter. The show is a funny combination of inane and intimate, and its local emphasis is a nice change from the generic, nationally syndicated content that dominates much of radio. You won’t find hard-hitting discussion of the issues here, but by 5 p.m., who needs it?
