Well, we haven’t had a good one of these for awhile… Any topic large or small. Be nice and concise, please. Polite, too! Thanks for another great and so enjoyable week of radio. This blog will be featuring some new stories this coming week and I’ll also be covering them on the program. Much appreciation [...]
Phew…that was a helluva week! One week of solid shows under the old belt…it was a ton of fun with lots of learning curve, so please be patient. Very appreciative to all my guests and to the callers who braved the airwaves–never an easy task for anyone. For the weekend, it’s supposed to be sunny, [...]
And so it begins… You asked for it, you’ve got it. Tomorrow morning, Monday, April 29th., 2013 at 8:30am you’ll hear my not always dulcet tones, for one and a half hours. There’ll be an opening editorial, guests and a hotline segment where you get to call in. REAL RADIO IS BACK! We’ve been testing this for [...]
Clark goes first: • She’s actually READING her opening segment!!! OMG! Major fail off the top. • Platitudes and plump piffle. • Immediately negative on Dix. Bad start–surprising. Then Cummins: • Interesting historical opening about how he came to BC. • Also reading, but less than Clark. • Clear and concise. Dix: • [...]
Honestly. You can’t make this stuff up. Premier Honey Boo Boo & Co are pulling out all the stops trying to spin their NDP opponents as catastrophic spenders, who are unfit to be left in charge of the public purse. Because, presumably, only the BC Liberals can be trusted, right!? Alright, let’s for a moment [...]
Let’s do this in reverse order and deal with BC Liberal disgracefulness, first… You wouldn’t know her to see her. She is described as quietly elegant, very kind and always composed. She is articulate and well-read, and certainly shuns the lime-light, unlike her husband Keith Baldrey, who might not exactly crave the attention, but as [...]
A few items… Firstly, thanks on behalf of CKPM for all your support and kind notes. It’s overwhelming to me and the station, but a huge THANK YOU from all of us just the same. Lots of news on this, coming soon… Secondly, one or two of you need your heads examined. When I say [...]
You must admit, this is one of the most anti-climactic news pieces in some time. Truth be told, after reading the Angus Reid survey, how many of you were shocked? For those of us who knew Christy’s potential for disaster, this comes as no shock at all. Frankly, I’m surprised her approval ratings aren’t lower. After [...]
There was a day, during his time as MP for Vancouver Center, that the late Art Phillips made a remark which has stuck with me to this day. Listening to him speak to a throng of reporters post victory, (I had been co-opted to attend by my father–an almost dizzying supporter of Art’s when the [...]
Sad day yesterday…Art Phillips was someone I knew and certainly admired from the first moment I shook his blessed hand. My father introduced us when I was still a young boy. Dad was, at the time, heavily involved in assisting the Hellenic Community and Art was Mayor. Never at a loss for innovative and constructive [...]
