Public radio has always been so powerless.
I'm a very straight-laced, conservative news kind of guy.
At a tiny station in New Albany, Indiana, which is right across from the river from Louisville, Kentucky, where I grew up. The Louisville stations were loath to hire beginners, so I had to go across the river.
When Solomon said there was a time and a place for everything he had not encountered the problem of parking his automobile.
It has a lot of historic value, a lot of sentimental value.
That was just thugs sitting there, not elected officials, ... somebody who affected everybody's life, not just the lives of other criminals.
I go home by noon, and I'm in bed by 6 p.m. I get up at 1 and do it again.
The people that show up here are wanting a job, they are wanting to get back into society. The problem is that society hasn't frequently let them back in.
We're going to have a lot of money against us. But we'll see how people respond and where they want the town to go.

We've been getting questions about them, mostly from people who worry we're wasting money. But in the long run, I think the new signs will be cheaper.
Where do you think I am going to get my morning news? Good Morning, America ?
I bet it has been 15 years. Those times are gone.
I wanted to be one of the voices in the box.
