- CC1s121LrBGT said I listened yesterday and today and it is a nice change of pace. It also continues past 9 AM to 10 AM ET when I can switch to Mark Simone on WOR for his 10 AM show without having to hear Beck or one o...
- CC1s121LrBGT said I’m not a Hewitt fan either. In another post here yesterday, I called him “Color, Color It”. I was trying to be polite. In real life, I call him “Douche, Douchebag” lol...

- Parrott said If you like a one man show, WCHV Charlottesville.VA. The only somewhat conservative voice in Charlottesville-stan. It won’t play on VLC, but it doesn’t have a ad or anything when you...
- CC1s121LrBGT said I have had a similar experience with Beck and Co. Very very often they turn to the abortion issue and their crusade against it. I’m over 60 and have been hearing the arguments on both sides sin...
- Fred Stiening said Pat Grey is Glenn Beck’s long time friend, and from my perspective Beck’s puppet master. Pat keeps pushing the “science is the enemy of religion” narrative, that the universe...
- CC1s121LrBGT said Emergency vehicles are an issue, as are emergency situations such as evacuations were all lanes go in the “out” direction so more people can leave an unsafe area. I am reminded of the hur...
- Fred Stiening said Emergency vehicles are going to be one of the challenges for self driving cars – since humans perceive them mostly from the sounds (although completely deaf people can drive). Avoiding collisio...
- CC1s121LrBGT said As Karz and roads get smarter, it will be interesting to see the different ways to interact with them. For example, although I may have a green light ahead of me at an obstructed corner, I’d li...
- Fred Stiening said There are technology solutions for some of the issues. Since vending machines can tell a $1 from a $20, the technology is pretty simple. Within the blind community, there is a sharp division of opin...
- briand75 said It is amazing how humans react to gifted folks. Blindness is a form of gifted – I know a couple of folks and they can tell you everything about yourself including whether you are smiling or anxi...
- briand75 said Yes – Kidz in Karz 🙂 I am still stuck on Baby Shark that my 5 year-old granddaughter turned me on to.
- briand75 said Saginaw is an interesting place. Probably worth a listen. I knew it as an artist’s colony of sorts. It used to be a booming lake port, but the Interstates took care of that.
- briand75 said Thanks CC 🙂 I will check these out. I am not a Hewitt fan, but I will give a listen to the others. Stu and whoever make my head explode with their arrogance and stupidity. I would rather watch Captain...

- Fred Stiening said My father knew he was going blind, but he didn’t do as much training as he probably should have. The way he dealt with the bills was to have the clerk count the change into his hand to see the order o...
- Fred Stiening said Kilmeade picked up most of the Laura Ingraham affiliates. He is too “establishment” for my tastes. Armstrong & Getty do a morning show in California that can be OK, but is mainly focused on Cal...

- CC1s121LrBGT said Great question, brand75. I like when contributors make recommendations myself because it leads to interesting listening. At 6 AM ET, I like WMAL’s show but they added a pre-roll commercial that...
- CC1s121LrBGT said Wow. Who knew? I would expect the only people taking the “Bird Box Challenge” while driving would be “Kids” in “Karz”. 😉
- briand75 said When in Pittsburgh, my office was next to the agency providing assistance to the blind. I asked them some of those same questions that Fred shows: How do you know what denomination your bills are? Giv...
- briand75 said Off topic – I have been listening to the Blaze in the morning, but these two clods have gone way off the reservation. If I want “fair and balanced”, I have Fox News. Can anyone recom...
- Fred Stiening said Walton and Johnson on KPRC can be interesting. It doesn’t take life too seriously. It is carried on other stations, mostly in Texas
- CC1s121LrBGT said I am looking for a replacement for WMAL on my preset buttons…. they recently added a pre-roll commercial to the stream and like to change streams very often. I am checking out WIQO and others t...
- CC1s121LrBGT said Oy vey. Better than cars for drunks, but I hope I encounter neither when I am on the road… safer to take the light rail. 😉
- Fred Stiening said Interesting what the actual charity purpose of Karz4Kids actually is. I had no idea
- Fred Stiening said Getting the ~$75 million for the land under the former WMAL tower puts everything in perspective. No number of Kars4Kids PSAs would ever generate that kind of Kash.
- Baldy said I hope Fred & Countess are doing well. Have not been here in a while, but the site was heavily used by me for years. Hope 2019 is good year for you both.
- Parrott said State of Virginia plan for ‘upgrade-ing ‘ I-81 . Governor Ralph, (D) has proposed tolls for I-81 , with no reduction in gas tax. They love to raise taxes , but its for the children. No...
- Parrott said I hate that WMAL went ‘Bat Guano’. The stream for Chris Plante was ‘normal’ , the programming for the actual transmit signal over the air, is actually on the internet stream...
- CC1s121LrBGT said Glad to hear you are doing better and hope that Countess does soon too. Last August, I had shared this article. Since reading it in August, I have lost 60 pounds and have not been hungry during the p...
- CC1s121LrBGT said “City stickers” for city slickers. Now far can the Dems go before people in big cities realize what they are doing to them? Detroit and Caracas come to mind. Aside from the big cities, the U...

- TheChairman said Except his ‘legacy’ lives on at the JustUs Department, the FBI/CIA/NSA bureaucracy, military brass, etc.
- Fred Stiening said Sure, although they need some weeding. Obama seems so far in the past. I didn’t think I would outlive his “rule”
- Fred Stiening said I guess that explains why his show was cancelled. Or maybe he never existed.
- Parrott said CC et al. I found on the algore information super highway that the ‘Spaceman’ ( Gary Bell) died in 2018. Back in June. I saw on that ‘The Southern Ontario/WNY Radio-TV Forum...

- CC1s121LrBGT said I noticed a change yesterday- Chris Plante was no longer on WABC. Checked again today and it was Brian Kilmeade welcoming his new New York City affiliate, WABC. I did a quick check in the final hour...
- Fred Stiening said And thank you for your help in 2018. I am pretty close to back to normal, Countess not so much. It was a close call for both of us.
- TheChairman said Indeed, Happy New Year everybody!
- Fred Stiening said It will be around 70 degrees in Charlotte today. This has thrown Countess for a loop and she was considering calling for an ambulance again. For now, she is fighting the fever with homeopathic remed...
