	In September 2006, it was announced that Bozo was to co-host a radio show on [[WBCQ]] called "Fix Your Radio." However, just prior to the show's initial (and as it would turn out, only) broadcast, co-host [[Fred Jodry]] announced that Bozo had "dropped out" of the show after directing some comments of a personal nature Fred's way. During the radio broadcast, Bozo repeatedly attempted to break into the telephone line Fred was using to feed the show to WBCQ, but to no avail. Sound bytes from this episode ended up in the pirate community rather quickly and became the inspiration for [[Voice of Bozo]] and other pirate radio shows including [[CBZO]], [[KBZO]], [[WBZO]], and [[Bozo Radio]].

	'''Bozo''' (born [[Jay Smilkstein]]) was a well known personality who frequently called the [[Allan Weiner]] show on [[WBCQ]].

Despite this, Weiner continued to enthusiastically welcome Bozo's persistent calls. These calls were often recorded by pirate operators, and become material for their own shows.
