Cause and Effect World

Do you like what’s on the radio?

A while ago, I visited a friend in Alaska, and was introduced to everyone as “she’s from Massachusetts.”  And, it wasn’t really a compliment, and my friends seemed embarrassed by it.  See, my childhood friend married an instructor for the NRA, so we were at the gun shop, or at the shooting range (yes, I shot pistols), when these conversations were taking place.

So, it seems odd to me that a state vilified by conservatives as an enclave of liberalism does not have a progressive talk radio station.  Sure, there’s a liberal or two on the air, but they’re relegated to mid-days or a couple of hours on the weekend, or on overnights. 

There were two stations with progressive talk, but Clear Channel flipped the format a little over a year ago. 

Some folks are actively trying to get a station on the air - you can read all about it here:  www.bostonprogressivetalk.net and you can listen to the interview here.
