Our friend Anton who was in that play I talked about before just told us about a radio interview he participated in. Poor anton, poor, poor, nervous Anton. I think he was making the radio DJ work for her money. But when he warmed up, he was pretty funny. So listen to Anton. And Hey …

Thank You Ernie
I was sad to hear the news a few days ago that Ernie Harwell, the radio voice of the Detroit Tigers for what seemed like forever,has inoperable cancer. Even though I didn’t grow up anywhere near Detroit and am by no means a Tigers fan, Harwell’s voice had a big impact on me. WJR came …
We Notice Too Many Ads
Here we go again with the comercials. I saw an ad for Iams dog food that said that the food would produce the seven signs of healthy vitality. Uh, what other kind of vitality is there? I’ve never heard of unhealthy vitality. I guess cancer could have healthy vitality that would be unhealthy for you, …
Here We Go with The Ads Again
Here we go again with more slogans that caught our attention. What a mishmash this is. Every timeI see commercials for denture grip, the stuff that holds dentures in place, it says “now with less ooze!” Ug! Doesn’t that sound wonderful? The idea of stuff oozing around my gums just makes me want to gag. …
They Are? Wow, You Had Me Worried There For A Second
I live in Canada. More often than not, when I’m listening to radio, it’s Canadian radio. And every now and then when I hear a commercial, I’ll hear the stupidest thing. The latest example is the ad for those Pizza Hut Pizza Mia deals, the ones that are only $6 each if you buy 3 …

Serving Our Community, One Voice Track At A Time
All the snow we’ve been getting and our building’s power transformer blowing up the other night got me thinking again about how much commercial radio sucks these days. That might sound strange, but hear me out. When something disruptive happens, something like…let’s say a snow storm or a power outage, what’s one of the first …

Happy Birthday Carin And A Bunch Of Other Crap
So how’s everybody? Are you enjoying this weather? If your answer is yes and you live anywhere near me, you’re an idiot, plain and simple. I don’t like winter at the best of times, but things are really getting out of hand this year. One thing I’ve noticed though is that there’s a definite lack …

Finally!
Today, October 11th, 2007, is a historic day in the history of broadcasting. For it is on this day that I heard something that I thought in all my years I would never hear. During a contest onY108called Verse In Reverse, where part of a song is played backwards and you have to call in …
Radio Is Stupid
I was just listening to the song “No Surprise” by Theory of a Deadman a minute ago. Everybody seems to hate that song, but I’ve been digging it since the first time I heard it. Maybe I suck, who knows, but that’s not why we’re here. I noticed something about the radio edit of the …
Hey Big Spender!
I just heard the funniest thing on the radio as I was coming home on the bus. The local radio station is holding a contest where some DJ names a random product on the Mcdonalds menu, and if someone can remember it hours later, and calls in, they win…wait for it…dinner for 4 at Mcdonalds! …
