Our friend... Reno Jay Reda
On the evening of January 16, 2012 surrounded by dozens of family and friends, Reno Jay Reda passed away.  He lived as an example to everyone showing that life is about giving, not taking.  Life is about sharing, not accumulating.  And in the end Jay possessed more real wealth than any person we will probably ever know.  Good bye friend.  We will see you again one day.

Get outside and start learning about life... and make sure you bring your children with you... Just another broadcast intro from Inside The Great Outdoors host, Jay Reda
Broadcast every Sunday morning from 8am-10am EST on WHK AM 1420 live from Cleveland, Ohio tune in to learn all about local, state, national and even international hunting, fishing, and all things outdoors from Joe Kastaway Kulis, Good News Joe Keough, Jim Peters, Bob Faber, Chris McKimm (The Brew Kettle) and Carl Big Daddy Bachtel (OhioGameFishing.com).  We wil take you through two LIVE unpredictable hours of informative conversation with guests from all over the region covering topics even NPR hasn't considered yet... we once talked for 30 minutes about Whiporwills... Reno tried to imitate the sound, Jim wanted to know how to cook it and Bob tried to explain what it was and where it could be found.... all while Chris was making beer.  You will never hear the same show twice with "Inside The Great Outdoors", unless of course you tune in to WHK AM 1420 on Sunday nights around 11pm... in which case you will hear a rebroadcast of that mornings show.

We want to thank you for your interest in "Inside The Great Outdoors"  This is one of the most unique live radio shows in the United States.  As you know most outdoor shows are taped and predictable.  NOW... we want you do do something very important... we want you to take a moment and remember all of our brave Soldiers, Sailors and Marines that are at this moment sacrificing their chance to be home with their friends and family... and take another moment to remember the 1.2 Million Soldiers, Sailors and Marines  that gave their lives since the founding of our nation, and the 2 Million others that were wounded in battle... sacrifices made so that we may live free in the greatest nation on earth.  Don't thank us for this show.... thank  our active duty military personnel and our veterans! ... These men, women and yes... in many cases 18 and 19 year old teenagers hear all the negative stuff that is broadcast and printed in our "professional" media... They need your positive support in the form of a kind note, a short email, or maybe even a package of candy, snacks or some simple creative gift... A little kidness will  go a long way in letting them know that the majority of us care about them.... Please do your part... Thank You !
