Month: August 2010

With help from the World Cup, radio had more online listeners in June. It was the first time terrestrial operators added online users in three months. But the biggest growth comes among the web pureplays who now comprise one-quarter of the top 20 broadcasters.

May 2004 is now converted, uploaded, and available for download; cheers! By the way, thanks to Alex and Greg for keeping things moving after we had a hard drive crash!

Dr. Ron Tarner noticed an article about Stephen Hawking and a conference he addressed over the weekend. It was Dr. Tarner’s opinion, expressed in the first hour, that we celebrate Hawking and people like him (Larry Flynt, Helen Keller) because they are disabled. “If Hawking hadn’t upgraded his wheelchair with lots of bells and lights, he wouldn’t be any more significant than Bill Nye or Mr. Wizard.” Later on it’s Art Griego defending flight attendants. A story in the news described a flight attendant for Jet Blue flipping his lid and yelling obscenities at a rude customer. Art says the abuse flight attendants are taking is getting worse and the “Big RF is coming…that’s when a flight attendant will wait for a particularly bumpy ride and then get on the PA and “tell everyone to prepare to crash….as a joke.“

Message: Hey Phil,
I grew up with my dad playing you on WIOD in Miami. One of our favorite bits was when you were “talking” with a Cuban who was on his way to Miami on a raft, and it kept growing, that he had a cooler, they were playing Frisbee, etc. Do you guys have that on here? I can’t find it and would love to reminisce with it. Thanks!
