1:30-2:30 pm – Closing session: What Makes a Good Talk Radio show?

1:30-2:30 pm – Closing session: What Makes a Good Talk Radio show? You Tell Us? Panelists: Randi, Rachel, Lionel, Thom, Jon, and Marc.

First commentator – diehard Republican mom of an AA listener has finally said she can’t take it anymore (Republicans).

Next: Thanks, Thom for teaching us how to argue with our Republican friends. Rachel, please take calls. Jon, it’s great that you’re in the community.

Next: from Tom DeLay territory. Thanks, Mark. But I hate Ed Schultz on XM. Mark replies – Ed is not AA.

Thom: support our advertisers but when you talk to potential advertisers don’t talk as if we’re a charity. We deliver customers. Our listeners are consumers who support our advertisers.
Next: Richard from New Zealand asked why there aren’t more young people here? Answer $$$. How about a scholarship fund to fund younger participation. Email briannospam@stockmar.com – remove the letters n-o-s-p-a-m in that address.

Mark – maybe contests for each show.
Next: Rachel, we want Kent Jones NOW!!
Next: list the advertisers on the station websites.
Next : certain stations repeat shows and therefore the late night stuff is never heard by some listeners.
Lionel – streaming at home – no 7 second delay. ;-)
Next: list of books on AA website. Thom and Jon already have these thinks.
Next: Randi, I drive around Denver laughing my ass off. I learn so much and I’m still laughing.
Next: Firesign theatre never on AA yet. AA, please change the mindsets on Iraq. Lionel says they will be on his show.
Next: 2 requests: you are teachers and you need to teach the members of Congress what you are doing. Thom: if you want your member of Congress to know something, call your representative. Second: Listen to each other’s gems.
Next: advertisers need to have more humor in their commercials.
Next: I like that we can trust what you say. You tell the truth.
