Radio

Since I spend a lot of time in the car, radio is important to me... how many times can you listen to the same R.E.M. tape, and still know what is going on in the world?

Steve Dahl
Now back on the air on WCKG (105.9FM) Chicago

Steve Dahl's last radio show was broadcast on an all-sports radio station, and they angered him so much that he quit for the summer. Now he's back with a vengeance on classic-rocker WCKG 105.9FM afternoons from 3 to 6PM.

Watch Steve's brand-new Web site at http://www.dahl.com for RealAudio show feeds, VDO video, and more news. He also has a 900 number 1-900-976-DAHL. There were some spectacular shots of ex-news babe Laura Witek, but she has since departed in an internal struggle. If you needem I gottem. The new news person is very nice too.

This is the same guy who gave us: crank calls to Iran during the hostage crisis, broadcasted the delivery of his three boys and his vasectomy on the air, the Insane Coho Lips anti-disco army, and the Chicago White Sox Disco Demolition. This is the guy Howard Stern (ecch) copies from, although Howard is now on mornings on the same station. I have been listening since high school (1978) and have been thoroughly entertained since. He makes my 50 minute commute much more fun - I just wish he was on in the mornings, so I don't have to choose between him and All Things Considered on NPR.

He recently had an article in the Chicago Tribune, read it here: Read article "Radio Daze"

National Public Radio

NPR has excellent shows and news that actually inform, and without the listener interpolating 5 second sound bites. All Things Considered is my evening commute - and armed with this hour, I know more about the world than the morons who watch network news for three hours a day. MarketPlace is an excellent business journal. And on Saturdays ( at least locally on WBEZ - Chicago (91.5FM) ) one of the best radio duos, Car Talk with Tom and Ray Magliozzi ( Click and Clack, the Tappet Bros. also at http://cartalk.com). If you are not a mechanic, you might learn something. If you are, you will still laugh for an hour straight.

Please listen and subscribe to your local NPR outlet - this is another excellent information source in the crosshairs of the idiot Republicans ( why not cut the defense budget a bit, Newt ?)
