Lyncho audio "on demand"
The interiview with Kurt Voigt, author of "Year of the Dog," was one for the time capsule. We get all the appropriate background on Mitch Mustain's mon, Gus, Houston and the fine people at Notre Dame. There is a bunch more. This is one of my best and a MUST for every Arkansas Razorback fan.
The Resident Moral Theologian, Dr. Mark Quay, came by to review the top stories, as rated by the Religion Newswriters Association. It was big fun. Honest. Great hour.
Stephens Media Group columnist David Sanders and I talked about the late President Ford, supposed liberal media bias (ugh!) and ethics.
Congressman Vic Snyder stopped by and the discussion was far ranging. We got into Iraq, North Korea, military staffing, and good old fashioned politics.
Here is the much anticipated Oaklawn preview with Mark the Magician. Horse race fans check it out and head over to his web site for all the latest picks.
Arkansas Travelers Manager, Bill Valentine, is always a scream. He talks about Razorback football; Damean William and the Springdale parents. Valentine is all over the Little Rock Convention and Visitors Bureau. He talks about the new park and the best restaurants - including Luigi's on Chicot Road. You need to hear this one!
Author, reporter, and activist Mara Leveritt came by and talked about her recent opportunity to go through the records Dan Harmon kept as Saline County Sheriff while he was also a drug kingpin. We talked about the train deaths, the West Memphis Three and the high cost of phone calls for prisoner's families.
Ben Mays is on the State Board of Education and he says that Arkansas public schools spend over $200 million dollars anually in inter-school sports. This is money that comes from the funds intended for educational purposes. Ben thinks that local school districts should stop covering up the true cost of athletics. We also spent a few minutes on the Charter School story. Why do some get approved, and other's don't? This hour simply rocks.
John Deering, the Democrat-Gazette's crack editorial page cartoonist had a few things to say about a few things. We talked about taking the Christmas Trees down in the SeaTac airport, putting Santa hats on the Little Rock nine, and the latest developments in cartooning on the web. Carole Kramer gets in the act and it is a very cool hour.
Was the American Civil War the first "modern war?" I am sure you have spent many hours discussing this stimulating topic and it occupied me and Dr. Carl Moneyhon from UALR for one hour.
Our Assistant Resident Moral Theologian, Bill Elkins, came by the studios recently to talk about the "emerging church." We also got into "faith and reason:" along with a little romp over why men don't like church. This hour was highlighted by a telephone call from the President of the Pat Lynch Fan Club in Florida.
It was a two-hour non-stop laughfest when the two Arkansans from "Deal or No Deal" showed up with me. Meet Brooks Leach and Ronnie Fewell! You will laugh yourself silly. Enjoy BOTH hours. Each has been edited and runs for about 44 minutes. Hour #1. Hour #2.
