ABOUT ERIC VON HAESSLER
Atlanta radio listeners have been tuning in to hear the commentary and humor of Eric Von Haessler for nearly 20 years. He co-founded “The Regular Guys” show in Los Angeles in 1995 before bringing that show to the ATL and 96 Rock in 1998. “The Regular Guys” show quickly became a ratings juggernaut and genuine Atlanta radio institution. After running afoul of the FCC and political correctness one too many times the show left 96 Rock and was revived on Rock 100.5 from 2008 to 2013. Through it all Haessler continued to please audiences as the steadfast Libertarian with an open mind, and the driver of the daily “News Jog” segment. Eric was—by his own account—the worst stand-up comedian of the roaring 80’s. He began his radio career by producing a Top 40 morning show in the early 90’s in Western N.Y. and quickly knew he had found a home for his talents. Radio hasn’t been able to get rid of him since. Now Eric is on-air with ‘The Von Haessler Doctrine’, live on News 95.5 and AM 750 WSB. He also creates three shows per week (The Digital Doctrine) that are available only on the WSB Radio app. Von Haessler: “After leaving The Regular Guys in 2013, I wanted to be smart about choosing my next radio show. I didn’t want to do anything without creative control. I’ve seen too many friends leave a successful show and disappoint themselves and their fans by jumping on to somebody else’s idea of good radio. WSB is obviously the best radio station in town and it’s just my good fortune that they trust me to do the show I want to do.” “Think of ‘The Von Haessler Doctrine’ as -The World According to Eric”, says Von Haessler, “I’m sick and tired of self-righteous people yelling past one another and calling it political debate. I’ve had enough of political tribes that continually look to undermine one another and call it good governance. It’s time to start acting like adults again. Enough of the whining and moaning. It’s time to get back to work. It’s time to build. That’s ‘The Von Haessler Doctrine.'” “In some ways I think of it as a comedy show that tackles serious issues. That can get a bit messy at times… but why not get messy? It’s fun!” – Eric Von Haessler. Email the show at vonhaesslerdoctrine@wsbradio.com.
