That commercial where the two guys compare the chicken sandwich to a car is stupid.

So cool Janet Parshall had Mighty John Marshall on her show yesterday.

Quite enjoyed Eric Metaxas' interview with Hannah Fei. It was radio!

102.1 CFNY-FM Toronto from a holiday weekend Saturday in 1984, Dave Marsden playing music on an eighty hour holiday weekend for Karlsburg and the Hard Rock Café. Then into CFTR and Tom Rivers with “Indiana Seeds and the Temple of Prunes.” Then into 1050 CHUM, Mike Holland giving time of 12:20. Then back to CFTR and Tom Rivers backselling songs, giving weather forecast and talking about Michael Jackson “Victory” tour coming to Toronto.

Congratulations "Stuff Mom Never Told You." You revived your podcast, even though you had started running out of ideas long before you ended it the first time.

Picked up WRNO 7505 last week.

This morning on CFRB, the host played audio from a video of an outdoor gathering that was taking place in Indonesia when the tsunami hit. It was true theatre of the mind.

I like that Honda commercial where the guy gets his girlfriend a partridge in a pear tree.

I also like that Koodo commercial where the guy invents a cheese fountain.

At a party last night, some of the other guests, who were from Oshawa, really appreciated the mix of music on 95.5 Hits FM.

98.9 The Drive Kingston was coming in well a couple weeks ago, for several days in fact.
