  We then heard from program director Denise Oliver who ended up putting Robin and Howard together at DC-101. She talked about how she saw Robin at a broadcasting school doing some public speaking and she was very good. She remembered her name after hearing her.
  ...
  Denise said that when she introduced Howard and Robin, she was the only other person there.
  ...
  Denise said that she's glad that she was able to bring those two together back then. She thinks that it would be a different show without her. She said she always liked Howard and Robin as people too.
  ...
  Denise said that there was an FCC regulation that said they had to do the news so she'd have to go in and talk to them about that. She said that she had to encourage them to do some news on the show.
  ...
  Denise Oliver talked about how they were planning this dating thing and they were going to do a gay man dating thing but she thought that might not fly with management.
  ...
  Up next we heard from Denise Oliver about how Fred ended up coming to Washington to work with Howard again.
  ...
  Denise Oliver said that they were playing 5 songs an hour at the time and that was outrageous in 1981. She said that they were cutting edge with Howard's show at the time. She said that they were doing some very innovative things back then. She said that he was doing regular radio stuff too but they were still cutting edge.
  
  In another clip we heard Howard talking to God as he did often on his show back then. He'd summon him up and he'd have a tape of himself doing the voice of God and he'd talk to that. He was doing the weather with him at the time.
  ...
  Denise talked about the weather report and how entertaining it was. She said it got a lot of reaction from the audience too. She said that Howard wanted to drop it but she convinced him to keep it going for a while. She said that she knows that you get bored with doing certain things and that's why he wanted to drop it.
  ...
  Denise Oliver said that they had one of the first delay devices in the industry and that was so Howard could edit out curse words and stuff from his show.
  ...
  Denise said that she was out talking about the station with someone else and someone overheard them talking and was amazed when she told them that she was Howard's boss.
  ...
  Denise Oliver said that the first ratings book that they got after Howard and Robin started was really big news. She said she got a call from someone at Arbitron who congratulated her for the ratings before she even saw them.
  ...
  Denise also said that Goff came to her one day and said that Howard wasn't funny that day.
