While a career in radio certainly isn’t all fun and games, there are plenty of opportunities to add a little excitement to the workday.  In Omaha, General Manager, Mark Shecterle threw a long pass from his office window to 1620 The Zone morning show co-host, Damon Benning who is a former UNL Husker running back and MVP in the 1996 Orange Bowl.

The rest of the story is that Mark didn’t throw a football, but a water balloon and Damon made the catch one-handed.

Join Severe and Benning in the Morning weekdays from 6-10am on 1620 The Zone.  Listen online, with the app or by asking Alexa to open 1620 The Zone.  You can also check out their podcast by clicking below.
