According to BJ Shea of the BJ Shea Morning Experience on 99.9 FM KISW:

“An H-hole is someone who is painfully and beautifully honest! It’s the kind of honesty that will sometimes make people call you an A-hole! But you’re not… you’re an “Honest-Hole” or H-hole for short.”

The H-hole idea is the underbelly of Shea’s entire talk show which revolves around the concept of guys being honest with one another when they hang-out. Women are free to listen and understand the inner workings of the male brain but the show is targeted towards the male 18-49 year old demographic.

H-Hole Army Seeking Recruits
As a reward to loyal listens, the BJ Shea Morning Experience even has an H-Hole army. They are the top-rated show in the Seattle market for the male demographic in the highly competitive morning shift. To add another hurdle to the mix, they were brought in to replace the irreplaceable and legendary shock jock, Howard Stern. Their quick journey from new morning show concept to top show is even more remarkable considering their advertising budget: zero! The BUZZ (inside joke) for the show has all been word of mouth / viral marketing that has jockeyed them to the top slot.

Members of the H-Hole Army receive advance info on BJ Shea events, exclusive private parties with the BJ Shea Morning Experience, & special giveaways for H-Hole members only.

Addicted to the Show
How addicted am I to the show? They broadcast a 4-hour show every weekday since January 2006 and I have not missed any of their episodes! It’s impossible to listen live from Vancouver in my car because there is no signal from Seattle but anyone in the world can tune in via live streaming at The Rock of Seattle, KISW 99.9 FM from 6am to 10am.
They also provide a podcast of all their shows for the past 4 weeks and that’s how I’ve been able to listen to them all. To add to the sickness that is my addiction for the show, there is a deleted scenes weekly podcast that is available every Thursday. They even have their own video game!

Check out the show if you have a chance and give it a couple of weeks and you will get hooked as well.
