Neil Young's New Streaming Service


Whisp and Geoff kick off the morning buried in useless classic rock trivia, detours through Whisp's Cool It Down 102 era, and a listener topic so aggressively pointless that even The Hawk struggles to justify airing it. Rock News eventually surfaces with updates on Pearl Jam, the Eagles announcing additional dates at Val Verde's Big Ball, and Neil Young's new high-fidelity streaming platform, M...

Today’s Episode: LONG LIVE MA SHARNEY

Original airdate: 2023-03-27


Ma Sharney is dead.

And in Val Verde, that does not mean peace. It means a Sharney’s conclave happening at Val Verde's favorite dining chain.


In this blast of Val Verde canon, the town is forced to confront one of its oldest traditions: with Ma Sharney gone, a new Ma Sharney must be elected. Who...

The Eagles are playing 87 shows in a row at Val Verde's Big Ball, and one lucky Hawk listener has won front row seats to every single one of them. Unfortunately, that listener is Big Scotty.


Tom Scharpling (The Best Show) returns as Geoff Garlock's longtime nemesis - a man who hates the Eagles, doesn't want the prize, is under the influence of too many magic stones and not enough lotion, and has been working with his mentor Abe ...

Welcome back to Hawk Rock Talk: Classic Albums


Geoff “The Actual Man” Garlock and Jason Gore go deep on one of the most CLASSIC albums in CLASSIC rock history.

This week: the 1971 masterpiece that launched Jethro Tull into the stratosphere - "Aqualung."


British blues-flute-rock.

Concept-adjacent theology.

Acoustic guitars in weird time signatures.

And yes, a completely irresponsible number of Ian Anderson flute grunts.

Whisp Turlington is salty. And for once, it’s not because Bastrd AI is generating “Hogan’s Heroes” deepfake erotica.


No. Today, the Val Verde City Council has declared war on Turlington Manor (the dead mall that Whisp lives in), and they’re doing it the only way Val Verde knows how:

Through zoning.


A new councilman, Edmund Sullivan (Eric Cunningham), comes into the Rock & Roll RV to explain why Whisp’s ...
