Some Assembly Required debuted in 1999 and was in syndication from 2001 - 2011, moving from three stations in Monticello, Chicago and Minneapolis to well over sixty, just a couple of years later.

The number of syndicating stations fluctuated over the course of the decade, but we were at least two dozen stations strong from 2003. I'd call that a success, considering the often challenging nature of our programming and the largely unimaginative character of most stations on the radio.

Thanks to all of the stations who aired Some Assembly Required over the years, but especially to the five who were with us for the entire run: CFBU, CIUT, KRVS, KUOM and New Artist Radio are the best!


If you'd like to air Some Assembly Required at your station, I'd look forward to hearing from you. New episodes are being added to the 300+ evergreen list of SAR episodes, as of 2021.

There's a Get In Touch form at the bottom of the main page at our awphooey.com website. Feel free to reach out - It would be nice to hear from you.

Thanks for listening,
Jon Nelson
