Synopsis :

Since 1996, “The Sports Junkies” have become one of the most popular and successful shows in Washington, D.C., radio history. This quartet of boyhood friends—John-Paul “J.P.” Flaim, Eric “E.B.” Bickel, Jason “Lurch” Bishop, and John “Cakes” Auville—chased their dream of breaking into sports broadcasting together and defied the mold of traditional sports talk. With their barstool takes, loose and spontaneous banter, and hilarious hijinks, they have cultivated a vast audience that includes athletes, coaches, celebrities, musicians, and the everyday Joe. In their fourth decade, “The Sports Junkies” are still dominating the airwaves of the nation’s capital.

Still Barking explores their jaunt, from the early days as a cable TV access show to national syndication and the coveted morning drive slot once occupied by the legendary Howard Stern. Throughout the pages of Still Barking, Flaim revisits their most outrageous segments, memorable guests, and behind-the-scenes moments.

Readers will also learn how they keep things fresh in the highly competitive world of radio, where you’re only as good as your last ratings book, even if that means sleeping in a coffin for two nights.

Still, it’s the friendship and brotherhood that drive “The Sports Junkies.” Their chemistry and camaraderie are the backbones of their success and rabid audience, and that’s why they are still having fun together after 25 years, just like when they were kids. Still Barking celebrates their journey.

The book includes:
• Narrative history of The Sports Junkies show;
• Sidebar chapters on their greatest moments;
• “Where Are They Now” of former show favorites, and Junkies chronology and glossary;
• Spreads of photos from their childhood to present;
• Testimonials from Baseball Hall of Famer Cal Ripken Jr., bestselling sports author John Feinstein, Washington radio legends Donnie Simpson and Mike O' Meara, comedians Frank Caliendo and Rich Vos, Washington Football Team President Jason Wright, Washington Nationals General Manager Mike Rizzo, NFL Players Association Director DeMaurice Smith, Washington Nationals legend Ryan Zimmerman, and more!
