Nancy Shack is def. her real name and she said on a fill in that she got the name “Sandy” because Howie had “poached” her from another show (using her to produce his as well) and they wanted to keep it secret; the “Sandy” name may have been an in-joke reference to Jerry Williams’ girlfriend Sandy Nagro (see the Jerry W bio). Nancy got married and she isn’t using her married name.

One time I heard Max Robins slip up (nobody caught it) and said something to Howie like “people like you and Nancy...”.

Todd Feinburg didn’t get canned by RKO for the “fat lesbian” comment, that was John DePetro (orig. of WHJJ Providence and now at WPRO, where he has gotten into trouble for other things). DePetro had called Matt Amorello, “Fag Matt. Wife wears the pants.” Then the G. Ross comment. I don’t know about what you mentioned. After subbing on WBZ for awhile, Todd is now doing some kind of traffic-radio-app deal.

I don’t know if the fill-ins are Sandy’s call or not, but they tend to say other people pick them (the PD or GM; Kevin Graham is the former).

2006:
>>WRKO in Boston has fired talk show host John DePetro. WFTV.com reports: John DePetro called the Green-Rainbow party’s candidate for governor a ‘fat lesbian.’ The comment came during Thursday’s show.” The story goes on to say, “DePetro told The Boston Globe he said it out of exasperation with the target, Grace Ross. He felt Ross and an independent candidate were taking too much time during a debate, leading him to say he wished someone would ‘tell the fat lesbian to shut up.’”

thanks raccoonradio-

methinks I got Todd F and John D morphed maybe because each got along with subject Nancy in near same way as in: not.

Nan sure is a piece of work. She’s kept her marriage pretty well under wraps but had to of course mention it (hubby only, right?) slightly for the first few weeks I guess in honeymoon fervor...or at least to explain long vaca.

What got me (too) was her making an ad with use of the words “my family” ( you bet it was emphasized in voice) in there whereas she never mentioned junior or juniorette otherwise. She’s hardly a “pro family” type anyways and this ref was only one I recall to give hint she inherited a youth (youd in Mumblebonics) with the taking of the ring. Was she fearing reprisals at school against the youd? HC and all others freely talk about their children & they might get an occasional barb tossed their way at class- presuming the new Shacker is of school age. So is the new Shacker in their 20’s in which case can’t they fend for themselves inside RT128 business climate?

Yeah, I can’t stand the woman. She’s a first class example of State Dept baby...very sly, shifty left-centrist-barely right actually calling herself a Dem to keep “nonjudgemental” status highest while being able as a RINO to diss at near every turn Demonrat behaviors which would tell anyone with a conscience such “nonjudgementalness” is a ruse... a feminist libertarian.

Howie can’t leave this station soon enough. Her keeping Howard Lawrence happy this long is beyond me, especially given her kissy-face with One L McPhee, Hunt.
