This is a bit self-centered. But I have a minute while I'm sitting here...

A couple of years before we started the podcast I tried to get a local radio show on this city's only "progressive" radio show. I may have posted on it back in the day so I won't recap how they f-ed up that idea. I've been mostly listening to music and not talk radio, but when I do, I still listen to this station. They hired a guy to do commercials, announcements and I'm assuming work the board for the syndicated shows (because that's all they play except for Sunday mornings).

I think they got this guy from a prison release program, or a work-training program for the mentally challenged. He's unbelievably awful! Why would you put a guy on the air who sounds like this. You can't understand what he's saying! He talks too fast. Helllllloooooo! Air check much?????

Hey, I'm not asking for Paul Harvey here. Does this guy have naked pictures of the station manager? Yes, I'm bugged because they should have gone with my show, but I'm a meritocracy kinda guy. If you're good at what you do, then you should be rewarded, particularlywhenwehavetosufferhavingtolistentoyoutalk. I'm surprised a sponsor hasn't called up pissed because they paid for an ad and you can't understand what the guy is saying.

OK...I gave that more space than it was worth...I'm done now.
