Darren McKee, who’s better known to listeners of 104.3 The Fan as D-Mac, wasn’t exactly an overnight success. Today, Big Al and D-Mac, the afternoon-drive show he co-hosts with former Denver Broncos great Alfred Williams, is among the highest rated programs on any metro-area radio station, as it’s been for most of the pair’s nearly eight years together.

Meet the Man Behind Denver Go Topless Day (NSFW)
Denver Go Topless Day 2016 drew by far the largest crowd in the event’s history to a rally and march on the 16th Street Mall to celebrate equality and demonstrate against the idea that it’s okay for men to appear topless in public but either distasteful or (in some locations) illegal for women to do likewise.

But if that conjures fears of male-dominated exploitation, don’t worry: Nothing could be further from the truth.
