Weekly political chat

If you missed it, here’s my weekly chat with Bill Vanko on local politcs and Al Redmer’s return to the campaign trail.

Pardon the brain cramp

Friday, November 6th, 2009

Sorry for the delay I was out of town yesterday. Here’s the audio from my weekly chat with Maryland’s Morning News anchor Bill Vanko on WBAL AM 1090 where we talked about Mike Pappas, tanning beds and three councilmen who want to be County Council chairman.

One small correction. Larry Hogan is NOT a Democrat. Not sure how to account for the brain cramp since I later mention that he wouldn’t run against Republican Robert Ehrlich, should the Republican former governor decide to seek a rematch against O’Malley.

There are no mulligans on live radio.

Bumped

Thursday, October 29th, 2009

It may have been a little confusing if you tuned in to WBAL 1090 AM  this morning at 7:39 expecting to hear my weekly chat about county politics but heard Bill Frist. You were just a few minutes late.

Paper covers rock, rock breaks scissors and a Republican former Senate Majority leaders with a perspective on the national health care debate beats a local reporter talking pensions every day.

Yeah, ok, I got bumped a few weeks ago for Paula Zahn, too. Ok, she’s not a health care expert but come on, have you seen me?

That meant moving me to a slot 17 minutes earlier than usual.

Here’s today’s audio link.

On the air with C4

Pensions, pensions, pensions

In case you missed it

This morning’s chat with Bill Vanko on WBAL AM 1090 was bumped up 20 mins. So, if you lounged around in bed you can listen to it here.

Tune in Thursday

Wednesday, October 14th, 2009

I’ll be on WBAL AM 1090 Thursday morning at 7:39 talking Baltimore County politics. Possible topics for the four-minute segment include County Executive Jim Smith’s potential state Senate run, who’s now out of the 2010 county executive race, Del. Jon Cardin’s push for campaign finance reform and maybe Comptroller Peter Franchot telling county Democrats it’s time to reform spending and embrace working with the private sector.

It’s the fastest four minutes of county politics on the radio and internet.

Talking county politics on WBAL

Thursday, October 8th, 2009

This morning’s talk included a withdrawn cigarette ID bill, councilmen weighing in on possible speed camera sites in the county and Timmy Ruppersberger (she’s a second cousin to Dutch) considering a run for county council.

You can hear it all right here.

A day late but…
