Airplay

[filkertom]

Christine Lavin's show Slipped Disks (on Sirius/xm Channel 15, "The Village") will have a new episode Tuesday, Nov. 18, at noon EST. (It's rerun Friday night at midnight.) She plays "Tech Support For Dad" near the end of the first half-hour.

I'm on da radio. :)

I've been thinking of getting a satellite radio anyway. Those of you who have 'em, what are your favorite channels and shows? And, otherwise, what are your favorite radio shows? Mine would be A Prairie Home Companion, The Thistle & Shamrock, Wait Wait Don't Tell Me, and Car Talk. (And if you'd told me five years ago that last one would even be on the list, I'd've said you were crazy. Click & Clack are an acquired taste, and it took me awhile to acquire it.)

ETA: D'oh! And Thom Hartmann and Randi Rhodes. Ed Schultz, not so much.

I have Sirius in my car ... and I love it. I listen to Little Stevens Underground Garage (25) when I need a boost, it's mostly basic rock and roll. I swap around the two NPR stations (135 & 134) a fair amount. I have to agree with your choices above. I know that WW is on at 4 on sunday (my usual drive home day) and arrange stops around it. If I am not traveling I DL the podcast. On an aside, if you are interested, the News Quiz an excellent podcast, kind of like WW, except British ... VERY British. bbc.co.uk/radio4/comedy/

I listen to the left wing channel (146), except in the afternoon, I despise Lynn Samuels.

I also listen to the gay talk station (109), cause I have a serious lack of flaming queens in my circle of friends at the moment. And the afternoon host, Michelangelo Signorile has one of the best political programs on the air as far as I am concerned.

I did tune into the Fox channel last Wednesday, just to hear them all swallowing their own heads ...

Hey, I'm good with British quizzes. I used to listen to My Word all the time. The follow-up show, My Music, sadly wasn't so good.

Oh, and it's MC'ed by Sandi Toksvig ... from both the UK and the US version of Whose Line ...

And I loved My Word ...
