WHO Radio Wise Guys

The WHO Radio Wise Guys was an American radio program broadcast on WHO (AM) in Des Moines, Iowa on Saturdays and was hosted by Dan Adams and Brian Gongol. The show focused on computers and consumer technology news, with secondary features on science and medical news.

History

Originally aired in 2001 under the name "Dot Com",[1] the name of the program was changed in 2002[2] as the content of the program was expanded to include subject matters beyond the Internet. This call-in show originally aired to replace a similar live technology-oriented program[3] on WHO which was left vacant when host Chris Pirillo[4] left the Des Moines area to focus on television broadcasting[5] and other pursuits.
