*CONTEST IS NOW CLOSED* The 92ZEW Leprechaun has escaped again! He’s hiding SOMEWHERE in and around Mobile and it could mean some gold from Hayes Jewelers for you! We actually KNOW where the Leprechaun is, bonus hint he’s not in Creighton, and we’ll give 3 clues a day (Monday-Friday) at 7:20am with Matt McCoy , 12:20pm with Pablo, 5:20pm with Gene and a daily recap of all three clues at 6:45pm with Tony. But those are the only clues we’re giving out. We’re not posting them on social media or repeating them, so you have to listen in if you want to get all the clues!

Be the first one to find and catch our true missing Leprechaun ( He will be marked on the back so you know you’ve captured the right one and no backhoe will be needed ) and return him to 824 Western American Drive, and you get “Da Gold,” which is a 14 karat gold necklace from Hayes Jewelers, with a gold pendant attached, surrounded by emeralds, and two diamonds inside!

He could be ANYWHERE in our listening area, so grab your magic flute, if you see our leprechaun say ayyyyy, and good luck from Hayes Jewelry and 92 ZEW.

*Regular 92ZEW contest rules apply.*

We’ll release the line up in the next few days, but don’t let that stop you from making your plans to be there for one of a kind performances of some of the best bands and artists that our city has to offer, and it’s all for a good cause too. Plus this year we have some surprises for you too.

All we ask as a “ticket” is for you to bring a new unwrapped toy to donate to the Child Advocacy Center. Doesn’t matter the shape or size, boy or girl, just something they can wrap and put under the tree for the kids they help all year. That’s it. Special thanks to Jubilee Chrysler, Dodge, Jeep, Ram for helping us put this amazing night on. It’s a night that’s all about the spirit of the season and spotlighting our local musicians too, but we can’t do that without you, so put it in your Google calendar, tell Siri to remind you, put a post it note on the fridge whatever it takes because we want to see you there, Wednesday December 17th, 7pm, at The Soul Kitchen.

Here’s some pics from last year, thanks to Dana Lee Davis, to really set the mood!

An undisputed pillar of the greater Mobile community, part owner of four radio stations: 92.1 FM WZEW, 92.5 FM The Soul of Mobile, 96.5 The Crab and founder of the first 24 hour FM sports radio station in the country-WNSP 105.5 FM-Tim did so much for so many, working tirelessly to bring countless performers and bands to the Gulf Coast, and promoting their music. 

An original founder of the Hangout Music Festival in Gulf Shores, AL and one of the brains behind Mobile’s inaugural, free Ten Sixty Five Music Festival in 2015, Tim Camp was a consummate sound engineer, avid
keyboard player, songwriter, father, brother, husband and friend.

Tim spent nearly 56 years in radio broadcasting and his lasting influence wil be sorely missed. A celebration of Tim’s life is forthcoming, date and time to be announced.

The Record Company started in late 2011, recording live in the bass player’s living room in Los Feliz, California. The Record Company have since played concert halls across North America, opening for John Mayer, B.B. King, Social Distortion, Buddy Guy, Bob Seger, Grace Potter, and Trombone Shorty. The band toured Europe supporting Blackberry Smoke in late 2015. They recently dropped their fourth album last October, called aptly enough, The Fourth Album!

To the chagrin of many loyal fans, the Alabama Crimson Tide are not going to the College Football Playoff this season. Instead, they will be heading to Tampa to take on the Michigan Wolverines in the ReliaQuest Bowl in what will be a rematch of last year’s Rose Bowl, albeit with two different coaches on the sidelines.

For the Crimson Tide, everything moving forward from this point on should be with a focus on next year. As Kalen DeBoer navigates his first full transfer portal window while trying to prepare his team for Michigan, there’s still business to take care of this season but it appears the collective page has been turned.

That mindset leaves the quarterback situation for Alabama in a precarious position. Jalen Milroe has said definitively that he is going to play in the game and has indicated that he has no intention of coming back next season.

Milroe has earned the unquestionable right to finish his career at Alabama with one last victory. Nobody can question that. With that being said, the best thing for the program moving forward would probably be for Milroe to sit out as they look forward to next season.

Additionally, questions remain about the quarterback room as a whole, but one thing that looks fairly likely – barring Keelon Russell immediately being the best in the room before taking a college snap – is that Ty Simpson and Austin Mack are going to be battling for the job. Neither has really taken serious meaningful snaps in college and a bowl game with no real stakes on the line especially against a good defense like Michigan is a wonderful opportunity to do just that.

If Milroe wants to play, he should play. However, DeBoer should consider letting him compete for the first few series or quarters of the game, allowing his curtain call,  and officially turning the page to 2025 by getting some other guys an opportunity.
