“Racin’ Mason” Dixon first appeared on Rob Byrd’s Moondog Show as a guest in the summer of 2019. After interrupting several broadcasts and filling in for absent guests, he found himself at the right place at the right time and took over a 3-minute weekly time slot vacated by Danny Donuts, who would do a recap of the previous show. Mason’s “What’s Goin’ On, Dog?” segment featured fun happenings in the Southwest Michigan listening area. In 2020, Mason talked Rob into being on each week for a full 7-minute segment. When COVID-19 eliminated the chance for in-studio guests, Mason started sitting in for entire episodes and has stuck around ever since.
Originally from Harlan County, Kentucky, Mason (named after Mason jars used in the family moonshine business) traveled the country following a dream of being a race car driver. After running out of money and crashing his car at the “24 Hours of Lemons” race at The Gingerman Speedway in 2015, Mason started living in the hay loft of a barn at his buddy Rooster’s place in Grand Junction, Michigan. Mason hoped to launch a stand-up comedy career in 2021 but the pandemic altered his plans. He now does a nightly talk show on his Facebook page. You can check him out at RacinMason.com and watch his nightly show at Facebook.com/RacinMasonDixon/live

Here’s what people have to say
Wanting More
I couldn’t find you either! 
. Been enjoying your show on 94.9 on Sat AM and would like to go back and listen to others.
Retired Air Force
September 11, 2022 – You guys Rock! I think it is wonderful that you have Amanda Jones and Scott Tee on the show. Being that I am also retired Air Force, I think it is awesome that you talk about so many military related topics.
Undisclosed City Manager
March 9, 2018 – I just about spit my coffee on my computer screen last week. That was one of the funniest radios shows I’ve heard in a very long time.
Crazy Man
June 30, 2024 – I listened yesterday morning 🌄🌞…. Great show as usual…. I especially made ✍️ notes to myself about the signal to South Bend, how you got into film 📽️🎥 documentaries with that teacher, yeah, and, this new podcast coming…. Amanda’s military background, which I kinda already knew…. That new commercial about “” 🦆 DUCKS 🦆”” was hilarious 😂 😂 😂 !!!!…. 😂 😂 😂….
Hopeless Wanderer
July 5, 2024 – A long time ago a guy used to call in named T. Rex. Where is he? Those fights with him on the radio were epic. He sure did hate you Rob Byrd.
Needs a friend
May 14, 2019 – is there any way that you could change the time you started your show to maybe 5 or 6 so that we don’t have to wake up to your silly a#$ show and it very load noise. I mean whole hole show could be done with just 4-5 minute or minute and half commercials. When your show comes on I actually turn my radios off that that hour and i seldom do that.
Lonely in St. Joe
May 18, 2019 – So glad it is past 8 AM on Saturday so that I can turn my radio back on after your stupid show is off the air. Of course you will probably delete this because you don’t want any negative posting right.
Obsessing Can’t Sleep
September 14, 2019 – Damn I goofed up this morning 09/14. I had to get up early and had the radio turn into 103.7 and to listen to the stupidist show ever. I really wish this as@nine show would start even earlier so that I don’t ever have to listen to it. To me this the worst show that I have ever been forced to listen to by mistake.
Still Looking for a Life
February 1, 2019 – Another weekend ruined. I was forced to have to listen to this stupid a$$ worthless show again this morning because I woke up to soon. This adult child that runs this show and has found a 1960’s reverb chamber and is still playing with it is just so stupid to hear.
Feeling Better
February 12, 2021 – Back during Covid I was suffering with severe depression. The fact that we couldn’t leave the house and some other personal issues left me feeling hopeless and that I did’t want to live anymore. I heard your show on a particularly bad Saturday Morning and your show saved my life. I thank you so much for what you do.
Mistress of the Mayor
November 4, 2023 – Good Morning Raul, I was having a hard time finding your work email, so I am reaching out here. This Moondog show is completely out of line. This morning I heard misinformation on international politics, making fun of other cultures, and advocating violence in regard to cutting off hands for stealing. Stating China is spying on us using farmland and transphobia MULTIPLE TIMES. The Trump talk. I am absolutely appalled. Calling people wimps for not supporting Trump. I will not accept this kind of behavior and I am seeking your assurance that this kind of conversation will not happen at our local station anymore. Please let me know if you plan to correct this. Thank you.
Sleepless in South Haven
May 27, 2024 – Hi Raul, This is not directed solely at you but you do play a role in this. I just need to know where the line in the sand is of how far Rob Byrd can go on the Moondog show. He has been talked to plenty of times by plenty of people. He finds it funny when he gets “in trouble” I just do not understand why cozy stands behind this. Cozy is allowing somebody to literally tear into the fabric of our community. You have a listeners who are in tears over his language. I was told today that somebody who was at work who could not turn off the radio had to listen to them make fun of drowning victims and it is my understanding this is not the first time as Heather Johnson has already been on that show to address this issue. The listener also told me that he was talking about LGBTQ issues disparagingly, AGAIN! Do your producers listen to this stuff? I am not trying to lose my cool here but I’m telling you Raul if something does not get done, actually done. Not just him laughing about getting in trouble. Something actually done. I will spend 40 hours a week making sure that cozy is drug through the mud. I will raise money to advertise against cozy, I will reach out to every single political, non-profit and advocacy group to help me and also retain legal counsel and I will hire a team to organize a moment to make sure ever sponsor that is associated with cozy understand that cozy supports bigots. This is not to be taken lightly! It’s disgusting. You know better. Everybody in your team knows better. There are children that have to hear this because their grandmothers have their radios on in the morning. There are workers at businesses where they don’t have access to turn the radio off. Let me know if I have your support in taking care of this quietly through email or if I will need to take more action. Rent Torgen.
