Event Series Event Series: The Sunday Night Idiot Show

Hosted by John Askins
Sundays 6pm-8pm

From 1983 through the early 1990’s, KFOG-FM in San Francisco had a legendary disc jockey on the air known as M. Dung, who passed away peacefully on June 30, 2017. “Dung Boy,” as he was known was just as much a unique radio personality as “Wolfman Jack” was in his heyday during the 1960’s over the Mexican radio station XERB-AM! The self-effacing M. Dung called his radio show, “The Sunday Night Idiot Show” for a reason. “The Sunday Night Idiot Show” was a free-form mixture of roots rock, immaculate soul, excellent oldies, and eclectic ear candy. Inside the program itself, M. ranted and howled at the moon in harmony with hand-picked music that definitely moved. He played all the right music for the idiots in the audience and judging by Dung’s success, there were a lot of idiots out there in radio land to give him some respectable ratings. Part of his secret was that Dung didn’t treat his listeners like idiots and he scored the #1 18-34 adult ratings, (the money demo) in all the nine counties of the San Francisco Bay Area during a very nice stretch of his run at KFOG.
