  • These past weeks I've been listening to talk/news radio a lot more than I normally ever did. It's got to the point that one of my friends was shocked at how much talk/news radio I was listening to and said that I was "getting old" by doing so. Really? Is that really a sign that I'm getting old because I would rather listen to talk/news radio than the usual music stations (which I do still listen to). I'm an avid listener to the Kevin & Bean show, which is a mix of talk and music, and it's just an entertaining show altogether. I would say that show in itself proves that I'm not exactly becoming an old man just yet, because of the stuff they talk about.

    Speaking of radio stations, there was this one talk radio that used to host the Howard Stern show. Ever since he left for satellite radio, that talk radio station changed it's name from simply "FM TALK" to "FREE FM." Personally I thought that was really obnoxious of them to do that, as if we have to be reminded on how "free" radio is compared to satellite. For years they've been rubbing it in our noses on how it's FREE FM this and FREE FM that, that I started to get turned off by their station. Lately though, they've gone back to just saying that they are "FM TALK", and I guess they realized how much we didn't care on how FREE they were.
