Or not. Hope everyone in radioland enjoyed my little seditious first hour of the program. If you missed it, I read Obama's speech that he delivered to school children throughout the country via TV and Internet, but told the audience I was a reading a transcript of a radio address that Ronald Reagan made to school kids back in 1987. The purpose was (1) to have some fun and (2) to show how we so very much color the content of a message because of our opinions about the messenger. Let's just say, I loved revealing the "surprise" at the end of the first hour and hope everyone learned a little something from that segment.
The text of Obama's live (and totally benign) address to school children is available here.
Looks like these families have had a drink from the talk radio Kool-Aid one too many times:
In the studio, I had the pleasure of chatting with Betts Murdison, the Executive Director of the Ronald McDonald House Charities of Augusta. The local Ronald McDonald House is celebrating its 25th Anniversary with a combo "Golf Ball" and golf tournament this weekend. To learn more about both events and how you can participate, visit rmhcaugusta.com and to learn more about Ronald McDonald Houses in general, visit rmhc.org.
We finished up yesterday's spectacular show with an interview with a merry band of librarians from the East Central Georgia Library (aka, your library). Sherryl James, Dottie Demarist, and Dr. Tom Dirkson joined me in the studio to talk all things library (and to complete one totally knee-slapping MAD Lib live on the air). As you know, the main library in Augusta is getting a new home next summer, but so much is still going on in all the public libraries in the region. To learn more about all the great offerings, from movie night, to classes, to FREE BOOKS, just go to ecgrl.org.
On Wednesday's show, we'll have a candidate for County Commission District 3, a local pro wrestling historian, and the girls from a local flame throwing troupe. Yep, you heard that right! Tune in tomorrow!
