As we take an extremely short break between Seasons Two and Three, we thought it might be nice to share the VERY FIRST Hawk! In November 2020, Jason Gore tweeted that if Joe Biden won Georgia, he would do record a classic rock radio shift like he was still working at 96rock in Atlanta - the last classic rock station he worked at. After some thought, he decided to do it as 108.9 The Hawk, a classic rock station he mentioned in one of his sketches in his one-man show, "Jason Gore's Midlife Crisis."

Jason asked Geoff if he wanted to be part of it and 108.9 The Hawk was born! Spotify had a new feature that allowed you to do breaks in-between full songs, so at first, this is what we thought The Hawk would be, but only Spotify subscribers would be able to listen. We did two episodes like this - this one and the first HAWKMAS episode with Alex Scordelis. Later on in 2021, Jason and Geoff decided they wanted to make the Hawk a weekly thing for everyone to hear and that's the moment THE TRUE MADNESS WAS BORN.We hope you enjoy this look back at the very first episode of The Hawk. 108.9 The Hawk Season Three begins next week. Get ready.
