The complete Opie & Anthony 2007 archive from XM Satellite Radio — every available episode, fully transcribed and timestamped. 2007 was the most eventful year of the XM era. The Don Imus controversy dominated April and the show had plenty to say about free speech and media hypocrisy. The Traveling Virus Comedy Tour rolled through the country. In May, a caller's comments triggered a 30-day suspension from XM — and the guys came back to one of the biggest audience responses of the run. October brought the grand opening of the new XM studio and the show's third anniversary on satellite radio. Through it all, the cast that defined the era was firing at full strength — Patrice O'Neal, Louis C.K., Jim Norton, Rich Vos, Bob Kelly, Colin Quinn, Bill Burr, and the full roster of regulars made 2007 one of the most memorable years of the archive.
