- RebelSansClue said Happy New Year! Is the Savage podcast any good?
- Fred Stiening said The podcast has arrived. It is free, at least for now.
- RebelSansClue said I don’t even want to think about that. The day when Rush does his last show (if he hasn’t already) is getting ever nearer. I still think there’s a place for traditional radio though. Outdoor internet connections aren’t as stab...
- RebelSansClue said Yeah, but this site has better content!
- Fred Stiening said Kind of like here.
- RebelSansClue said Meh. No big loss. His web site looks about 2004ish. Really amateurish.
- Fred Stiening said Journeyman radio host Mancow is leaving WLS-AM in Chicago at the end of the month
- Fred Stiening said After I wrote that, one station defaulted to using iHeartRadio for the stream. How Amazon decides which streaming service to use I have no idea. It appears that you can tell Alexa which streaming service you want to use.
- Fred Stiening said The flip side is – what is to prevent a vaccine maker to claim their vaccine is 90% effective if it is a placebo and 80% are not susceptible to infection. The election is over after all. The Trump pandemic is over.
- Fred Stiening said I am blaming that on auto correct 😛 Crosley went on to dabble in the car business.
- Sparkey Johansen said Reporting a single keystroke typo: Powel Crosley Jr., not Crowley. I am refurbishing a Crosley 11-125U for a friend.
- Fred Stiening said One of my complaints about “big radio” is they tend to view on-air hosts as interchangeable. Inga lived and worked in the Central valley. She knew the people and politics of managing water resources, and the reliance on seasonal immigra...

WIBG-AM in Atlantic City could be a sign of things to come. It was been running religious informercials but has decided to switch to Tslk, including Michael Savage. PPM data is picking up that people won’t listen to a 30 … Continue reading

Mutually assured destruction
Yesterday was “Bot Nuke” day on Runescape (a very large multi-user game that has been around since about 2006). The idea was that people were complaining the game was no longer fun because of all the accounts using “bots” to … Continue reading

Yen hits post WW II High vs Dollar
The October 23rd “deadline” for solving Europe’s problem came and went. Instead of the 30%, then 50%, then 60% writeoff being demanded against the banks holding Greek debt, a 100% loss is looking more and more likely. The Dollar vs … Continue reading

Theory X, Y and Z
Back when I was in college in the 1970s, business schools were enamored with the Theory X, Y and Z philosophy of how to manage companies. It’s a useful starting point for talking about business, government and life in general. … Continue reading
