The Herman Show

The Herman Show and the Herman Radio Network are relocating to southern Illinois this month. There will be a small break from new shows, but affiliate stations will continue to air past programs during our hiatus. New shows will return soon!

Today from 8 to 10 am CT, I will be joining my good friend @millertime944 for a special Rock-A-Thon edition of The Magical Mystery Tour. Join us for some great Beatles tunes as we raise money for @wltl881. Tune in to WLTL and @LTTV, and please donate at wltl.net/donate!

Rock-A-Thon 2026 is in progress! Rock-A-Thon is @wltl881's sole fundraiser every year. Tune in to WLTL and @LTTV, and please donate at wltl.net! Thank you so much for your support. Here is the classic photo of me working my first Rock-A-Thon back in 2016.
