I'm hoping, at least, for more calls. The open line theme worked pretty well for the first night. And maybe we can get more GOP leaning callers (hint, hint). Can't leave Amlord out there all by himself, john.

We're also open to ideas for the show. I've been doing my best to try and sweet talk Wertz into doing a weekly piece (public nudge! ) This is completely unchartered territory for us, so anything goes.

I would be willing to do a few peices here and there.

Well, I figured out how to listen to the archives. It took up most of my night here. (I had to constantly pause the recording to do other stuff.) I was very impressed at how professional an operation it really was.

I note that Jaime, in particular, has a very clear radio voice. I'm not knocking Mike or any of the callers, who were just fine, but for some reason Jaime came through like singing crystal.

The callers were all very articulate. There was very little "um" and "uh" as everyone expressed views in a thoughtful manner.

I had no idea that Amlord was supposed to be pronounced "ay-em-lord." I'll try to keep that it mind.

Heh... that's what I have been telling her...! I've gone back and listened, and the only thing I can say is that I *will* improve in my hosting skills. For these first two shows, I have done virtually zero prepwork. I have spent all of my time setting up equipment and making sure everything will at least work. During the shows, I've spent most of the time babysitting the equipment, trying to make sure everything sounds as good on your end as it does on ours.


Agreed! Some of the callers say they were nervous, but I really think the hosts are more nervous than the callers.


It's a conspiracy. He wants Jaime and I to adopt southern accents. Ay-em-lord, said fast, is how southerners would say Amlord. It's like "lets go over they-urr." As much as Amlord wishes it might could happen, I reckon it just won't.

Now, Vicki, let me ask you this: Got a phone?
