He hosts the weekday morning drive time Phlash Phelps Phunny Pharm on the '60s Gold, channel 73, which plays music hits from the 1960s.

Prior to that, Phelps held a number of radio jobs, moving around the country to work in a series of secondary and tertiary markets.

[4] After winning a station contest he received a tour of the studios of Baltimore's WBSB (B-104); at age 15 he then knew that being a radio personality is what he wanted for a career.

[5] A final influence was the fast-talking Terry "Motormouth" Young, whom he heard on WCAU (98.1) in nearby Philadelphia during its early-mid-1980s Hot Hits phase.

[4] In the common industry practice he then attempted to work his way up the ladder, holding a series of on-air jobs in secondary and tertiary markets.

[1] For instance, in 1995 after his departure from WDJB (B-106 FM) in Fort Wayne, Indiana, where he spent five years, his longest stint during this period, he joined WSSX (95SX) in Charleston, South Carolina as its morning drive personality.

When he talks about the professional American football league, he refers to the "NPHL" rather than the "NFL"; the 27th state to join the union is "Phlorida", not "Florida", and so forth.

[11] For the '60s Gold Channel on XM Satellite Radio, formerly '60s on 6, which broadcasts from Washington, D.C.,[2] Phelps served not only as the most visible host but as music director as well.

[13] In September 2003, as part of promoting XM Satellite Radio, Phelps and colleague Kurt Gilchrist, a DJ on the service's companion '70s on 7 channel, embarked on a trip to visit all of the Lower 48 states within 14 days.

"[2] As columnist Jeff Maguire of the Metroland Media Group has written, Phelps's show features "his incredible knowledge of geography and places on this continent.

[18] In 2014, to celebrate his 14 years on satellite radio, frequent listener and former Senator and Governor from Idaho and Secretary of the Interior Dirk Kempthorne had the American flag flown over the United States Capitol dome in his honor.

[2] The venture gained enough publicity that the Lamar Advertising Company erected a billboard on Interstate 81 in Pennsylvania off an exit in Scranton to honor Phelps, who made the state second on his list.
