Unless otherwise noted, all links are via the Peoria Journal Star. The snarky commentary is my own.

No link here, but I need to let everyone know that Peoria Pundit Radio is going silent, for the time being at least. My work schedule changed and I no longer have Sunday evenings free. But I do have [...]

The show starts at 6 p.m. and can be heard here. The call-in number is (347) 326-9459.
As usual, I found a few simple links to blog entries that discuss autism, especially as it relates to vaccinations:
Here is one that claims a government concession that vaccinations can cause autism.
And here is one that discusses the false [...]

The following is Air America talk show host Randi Rhodes in the midst of the NOT SAFE FOR WORK tirade against Hillary Clinton, Geraldine Ferraro, Eliot Spitzer and others that got her suspended for her gig:

April is autism month. I thought it appropriate to devote at least one Peoria Pundit Radio segment to debate on the myths and reality surrounding this condition. The next show is scheduled for 6 p.m. Friday — that’s two days from now. Autism certainly has been in the news recently, from Sen. John McCain jumping [...]

For those who were wondering, I’ve moved this week’s PeoriaPunditRadio show to this Tuesday. The scheduled topic is the situation in Tibet, plus local news and information, plus two “Fibber McGee and Molly” episodes.
The show can be heard here. Callers are welcome at (347) 326-9459.
As a matter of fact, it looks like I’ll be working [...]

One of the disadvantages to scheduling shows in advance is that I sometimes find out later that my work schedule has changed. So, I will be working Sunday and won’t be able to broadcast tomorrow’s show about China and Tibet.
I’ll reschedule for a later date.
It’s too bad because there is so much to talk about.

Frequent commenter Shaun Bill sent me the following e-mail:
Hey Bill - FYI
I will be on the Doc & Kotter show on 96.5 ESPN between 5 and 7pm tomorrow, March 12. I will be talking about my recent hockey road trip.
Kudos to Shaun. If I cared about hockey, I might listen. Heh. Just kidding. I LOVE [...]

My last attempt at using BlogTalkRadio didn’t work out all that well. I’m told that the glitches are now over, and that neither I nor would be callers will have trouble getting connected.
Let’s hope so, because I’ve scheduled my second show for 6 p.m. (Central) Sunday, March 9.
The subject will be the decision Illinois voters [...]

UPDATE: After 10 minutes of a message telling me that”no web audio servers are available,”  I gave up. I wish BlogTalkRadio the best. I didn’t even know if I was on the air or not. Apparently, they will need it.

NOTE: I’m going on the air in 40 minutes.
I’ve been a little under the weather, so [...]

I was a guest on Mark W. Johnson’s IL GOP Blog radio show last night, providing commentary on national and state races. At least I was until my cell phone battery went out.
It as my first experience with BlogTalkRadio, and I was impressed. I just called a number (long-distance, unfortunately) and I was on the [...]

I’ve accepted a last-minute invitation from Mark W. Johnson to be on the Illinois GOP Network’s BlogTalkRadio program.
I’ll be providing “analysis.” I wonder if Mark knows that I’m not a GOPer, but a small-L libertarian who didn’t even vote today?
Anyway, I’m going to be on shortly after 8 p.m. If anyone wants to call in [...]

“Radio news is bearable. This is due to the fact that while the news is being broadcast, the disk jockey is not allowed to talk.”

So, I’m listening to Dr. Dean Edell today and I have an epiphany.
I like Dr. Edell’s show. He consistently  gives good advice best on the available science. He gives tons of grief to quack cures, superficial reporting on medicine and science and politicians who meddle where they don’t belong.
Recently, the good doctor has started bringing [...]

Jonathan Ahl reports that his station, WCBU, is going to participate in the Primary Place program being offered though New Hampshire Public Radio. Essentially, it lets ordinary folks post questions and comments about the upcoming presidential race, which the good people of Exeter, NH, can then bring to the attention of the candidates that pay [...]

I’ve flirted with the idea of trying my hand at a daily or weekly podcast, but this Vaspers the Grate post leaves me wondering if I should even bother:
According to a new Pew Research podcast usage report, in the Pew newsletter that entered my email inbox today, only 1% of Internet users download a podcast, [...]
