We didn’t want to leave you hanging completely after two weeks of operational silence.

First, E. and I ran into an unexpected but very welcome wall. In E.’s case, he’s had some great opportunities come his way that have totally monopolized his time. In my case, I’ve been engaged helping others behind the scenes in other exciting projects. Neither of us wanted to relaunch the show only to interrupt the flow a week later.

Second, we’ve both seen some drastic changes to our schedules, meaning we can no longer record on Wednesday nights as had been the norm. Again, this is welcome, as it forces us to sink a lot more creativity into how we do the show.

All that said, the show will be starting soon. Watch for a new website here next week, and the first episode as The Radio News soon after.

Thanks for sticking with us!

  • Rush Limbaugh’s spoken for
  • Chris Conley is now, too
  • Tom Chiusano’s out
  • Opie & Anthony might be, too
  • Kidd Chris is on the rise
  • FCC sales of analog TV bandwidth are, too
  • Diane Keaton’s controversial now
  • Dana Jacobson is, too
  • Alycia Lane is selling her condo
  • Danny Bonaduce is selling himself
  • Oh, and some music awards show isn’t going to be canceled
