Silvie Sounds Off (And I Post A Very Self-Serving "Guest Blog" Entry....)

So, how self-serving can I be??


Extremely....

But honestly, I was humbled, and grateful, for the highly complimentary letter I got from Silive in Waldorf, MD. She likes the show. And she took some time to compose her thoughts about the show, and offered them as a "guest blog entry." So here it goes - - and Thank You, Silvie.


Austin,

You are quirky and clever and I think you've found your 'niche' in the sense that you've made your show a terrific combination of a serious political program mixed with pop culture and/or with curious news bits, which, as a listener, I thoroughly enjoy. That combination makes for a very interesting and listenable show. Keep it up like that, because it's great to hear you on the radio (I listen to you evenings on 630 WMAL).

I especially enjoyed your show last night (5/1/08) in which you had the discussion of the gas tax for the first hour, and the Hillary candidacy in the second hour. In between, you'd tell the listener of the new YouTube political pundit teen sensation, James Duke Mason, son of famous singer Belinda Carlisle. Throughout the show, you played Belinda/Go-Go's bumper songs (as well as snipets of her son's YouTube video in which he announces that Belinda is endorsing Hillary). I was "glued" to the show 'til the end. It was great radio and the mixing of both themes works well.

Best to you,
Silvie in Waldorf, MD
