The neighborhood character was the basis of the Buzz Fugazi Show, which featured satirical rants about Bush and American politics, and also made Buzz the target of humor as he was bombarded by unwelcome sound effects, cut off in mid-sentence for alternate features, and left on a live mike while he sat burned out and mumbling, not wanting to perform and engaging his contentious producer Doc in small talk.
Aside from a wildly eclectic musical playlist from different eras and genres, shows included dead air from Buzz passing out or leaving to get food then returning, spoofing other DJs, TV personalities and political figures, all-night sessions of Skype calls to random people all over the world, reporting on the streets in the sketchiest parts of Chicago at odd hours, and promotions live from the Congress Theatre. It soon became the #1 show on GTR, but after a fallout Buzz went to msigarmy.com where "the ten minutes worth listening to out of every hour" was remixed into the Radio Basement podcast.
Grand Theft Radio continued to grow more popular after Buzz's departure with such personalities as Danny Donuts doing live variety shows in Chicago nightclubs and Roots Ryan spinning Reggae, however, as the station grew larger and more popular, Doc, who had started the station as a hobby, no longer had the time to manage it and shut it down, To retool and become even bigger.
Buzz returned to Grand Theft Radio for the final shows and Doc occasionally appeared as a guest on Radio Basement until recently!!!! acquiring commercial backing to restart the station after a year absent on live 365. Now bigger than ever grand theft radio is back strong and i am glad to be apart of it.
