With Stugotz & Hochman: Roberto Durán

In this episode of 'With Stugotz & Hochman,' the hosts reflect on their long-running radio careers, the legacy of their show, and share a legendary behind-the-scenes moment involving boxing legend Roberto Durán.

The hosts also reminisce about their early days at 790 The Ticket, the impact of their work on fans, and the deep personal connections they’ve built over 13+ years on Miami’s afternoon drive radio. Emotional moments include honoring longtime WQAM GM Joe Bell, who recently recovered from a heart attack, and celebrating the enduring influence of their show on listeners across generations. The episode closes with a playful nickname challenge, highlighting the duo’s enduring chemistry and love for sports and comedy.
