    Read excerpt

    Chapter 38 of News to ME: Ken & Mike Redux has dropped! Sorry for the long absence, but back in the saddle again. We start with a tribute to Dolly Parton, also mentioning Gram Parsons (from Flying Burritos - and you will know why if you see the video), Emmylou Harris, Lowell George, and Linda Ronstadt (whom we interviewed on WGAN many years ago).

    Read excerpt

    Chapter 35 of News to ME: Ken & Mike Redux has dropped! A VERY spirited discussion about Anthony Fauci, which we had to stop before Mike came through the computer screen to choke me. Then another spirited discussion about Todd Blanche, although Mike just let me vent. Talked about Lindsay Clancy's trial (Massachusetts mother who killed her three children), a few minutes about Amanda Knox's comedy routine, and ended with my rant about Trump's corruption and the democrat's complete inability to use
