- 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...

- 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 Interesting what the actual charity purpose of Karz4Kids actually is. I had no idea
