Homestar Runner has had features and references on the radio. Here's proof!

Quizno's and Homestar on NPR

On March 9th, 2004, Homestarrunner.com was featured on NPR's Talk of the Nation. You can find the radio segment here. You have to listen a little bit to get to the segment. It features kind of cool, as well as the email different town. It starts around 9:15 into the clip and lasts until the end.

The Rock

There was a quote from Strong Bad's character video on a La Crosse, Wisconsin radio station called "95.7 The Rock." It goes from the part where Strong Bad says, "Ladies, form a line to my left for makeouts! Dudes, form a line to my right for high-fives," and stops at the part at which Homestar says, "Well, I was going to get a high-five, but I see that I'm already here."

• It seems that The Rock are frequent users of Homestar Runner quotes, around once a week or so you can hear one pop up.

Q98

On Q98- 98.7 (a radio station in Fargo, ND/Moorhead, MN), the DJ, Stash, told listeners to visit the radio's website "... at q98.net, it's dot com." This could be a reference to the First Time Here cartoon, in which Homestar says, "Welcome to HomestarRunner.net ... It's dot com!"

NPR on Strong Bad and H*R

NPR's All Things Considered program on May 8, 2005 discussed the H*R site, ran down some of the characters, and featured a short interview with The Brothers Chaps. Also shown at this site.

102 The Mountain

In mid July, The Mountain featured a short sound byte from radio.

CD 101

CD 101 (101.1 FM Columbus, OH) has clips from the e-mail radio in some of the bumps they use before playing songs.
