[7][8] Jackson worked for a time on KZHT before joining KXRK on October 18, 1993, where he replaced Dom Casual in the mornings.
The show is still on the air Monday through Friday 6:00 a.m. - 10:00 a.m. (MST) As of December 2020, the hosts were broadcasting from their own home set-ups (due to the Coronavirus pandemic) while their producer Caity continued to go into the studio.
The hosts regularly relate humorous anecdotes about their families, friends, jobs, pets, eating habits, shopping trips, vacations and other experiences.
"It is our mission to embrace the idea that our show shall always strive to belittle the stupid and to play an occasional song.
"Kerry Jack Jackson grew up in Salem, Utah and graduated from Spanish Fork High School.
Kerry regularly plays audio clips from the Cartoon Network's Adult Swim lineup including Aqua Teen Hunger Force, Space Ghost Coast to Coast, Sealab 2021, Squidbillies, Saul of the Mole Men, and Tim and Eric Awesome Show, Great Job!.
[17] Jackson currently serves on the FanX Community Council [18] Jackson often recounts his adventurous weekend experiences (usually involving his fondness for mixed drinks), offers humorous pickup lines, and occasionally performs impressions of celebrities including Larry Flynt, Roy Horn, Lou Ferrigno, and Owen Wilson.
Kerry also does the voice of the character, "Frank Chryst", a celebrity-reporter (created by Brad Lee Mullen, aka Cuzzin Brad who passed in 2021[19]) is perpetually grieving over the "horrible, terrible tragedy" of a recently publicized celebrity death.
Also in early 2007, Bill was allowed to read an email from a listener that had seen Jackson shopping, who was noticeably irate and wrathful, due to being surrounded by too many people.
[2] Jackson is also responsible for recording, selecting and playing the majority of the sound clips on the show; Allred has described Jackson as the Don Letts of Radio From Hell (referencing Lett's role in rock group Big Audio Dynamite).
After traveling to California, his team, "Shatner's Midnight Runners" passed the written exam and were allowed to audition for the producers.
Allred actually finished all of his coursework at Penn State University, but told his professors that he would mail in his Thesis for his Masters in Theatre art.
In 2012, he trekked from Kathmandu to base camp at Mount Everest (although he did not go to the summit) and provided several recorded updates of his trip for the show.
In 2019, a running joke on the show involved "Little Bill's" fascination with a raccoon carcass which found and proceeded to learn how to mount for display.
[20] Allred stated on the September 22, 2011 broadcast of the Radio From Hell show, that he has some of his brother's ashes in a box in his basement.
Also popular is his Strom Thurmond-like impression of Utah Legislator Chris Buttars and his bloviating reproduction of former U.S.
As Bill is an admitted 'foodie', these restaurants are generally locally owned and often feature unusual or high-end cuisine.
A good deal of Gina's personal life has been made public on the air, such as her experiments with thong underwear, her breast enlargement surgery, her 800 thread count Egyptian cotton sheets, her Hawaiian-based wedding, and her elementary school aged son's penchant for hard rockers AC/DC.
Gina is a picky eater, refusing to eat such common staples as cheese, tomatoes, honey, or seafood due to her dislike of their texture.
When ordering a hamburger from either the Crown Burgers or Training Table restaurants, she insists on only having meat and bread.
[21] Although, recently, they enacted a rule at the Jones household that there would be no special meals (not in Gina's case of course), but they're hoping to correct Festus and prevent Jonesie from being picky eaters.
In order to avoid being assaulted, Gina says she pretends to talk on the phone while walking through a parking lot, and if Joe is not home she will keep her cellular phone under her pillow, and turns on the TV (which cannot be visible from any window or someone might want to steal it) so it sounds as if people are talking if she is home alone.
Though Jackson and Allred will admit to occasionally exaggerating their own traits and behaviors for comedic effect, they insist that Barberi does not do so; her radio persona is not an act.
In 2004, an advertising campaign for the show caused rumors that a same-sex marriage proposal was afoot in the area.
"Rainbox billboards" featured the likeness of a typical, small-town Christian church in front of a rainbow, with the caption "Alternative Lifestyle?
'Til Death Do Us Part, " during an election season in which Utah voters were faced with the question of passing an anti-gay marriage amendment.
