For those in the know, there was once a radio show called The Hideout, a show hosted by El Jefe and J-Dubs, and featuring a cast of characters the likes of Tommy Bateman, Chunks Carolla, Matt Albert, Sidcada, and a list that just goes on and on. The show originated in Washington, DC at the mighty 106.7 WJFK, before later moving to Orlando, FL to join Real Radio 104.1, and then appearing in stints heard across the country via XM Satellite Radio, and local markets such as Atlanta, GA, New York, NY, and then back in DC. Starting as a late-night Saturday show, it would later graduate to weeknights, a position it would hold for most of it’s run, but would also be heard weekend afternoons, in an alternate form called NEXT!, and an internet-based podcast dubbed the NEXTcast. The show inspired legions of fans, called The Heretics, who created fan boards, fought MySpace battles, generated new audio and video content, and were heavily interactive with the show.
So with that serving as a little background, the DC AM is proud to host the The Hideout Show Library, an extensive and complete listing of all known recordings of the show, in their entire unedited form, and minus all commercials. If you’re a fan of radio, podcasts, or just funny audio of any kind, give this show a chance, and while you’re at it be sure to check out the links posted below to see some YouTube footage of the show and other related websites.

The greatest radio show ever. It is truly evergreen and gets better as time goes on. It all ended because El Jefe found love. The greatest killer of radio talent there is.
I really think that most of the Hideout could be resurrected in the Treehouse, with J-Dubs, Matt, Sidcada, Tommy Bateman, and an army of unemployed Heretics willing to pitch in and Be Somebody.
Finally found this show again after not having listened to it in almost 6 years.
I guess its not around anymore (obviously), but what is this treehouse business you speak of? Is there still hope for Heretics like myself?
Treehouse was just an inside joke, references a one-time show Dubs and Tommy did that was allegedly the most awkward radio of all time. Sadly no copy of it remains.
That Treehouse show was the first night I ever meet Tommy. Perrynoid and I walked to the station from the beautiful Breezeway motel, and arrived just as they were switching from talk to music.
