Tomorrow morning at 8:00am on WAAM 1600 we will be interviewing MI Gubernatorial Candidates Mike Bouchard and Rick Snyder and while we’ve got our own questions we’re curious as to what YOU would like asked? Please respond via comments below or drop me an email by clicking here! Don’t forget that if you can’t listen live [...]

We really appreciated the opportunity to interview Michigan Gubenatorial candidate Pete Hoekstra last weekend. This weekend we have a confirmation for an interview with Mike Bouchard and are working out the details on two other possible MI Gov candidate interviews.  I hope you enjoy the interview and will confirm the guests for this week’s show [...]

Unlike the King (who’s protection is the key to the game) the pawn is not a piece you really worry too much about losing.  In fact, the pawn’s real value comes from the fact that [...]

This week we will be interviewing Michigan Gubernatorial candidate Pete Hoekstra. While we’ve traditionally stayed away from being overtly political on the show in the past, as we explained last week things need to change.  Not because of the show but because we’re in strange times now where being an effective parent means that we [...]

In January there was a recall of Tylenol products. In April there was a recall of Tylenol products In July we have ….. (drum roll please) ANOTHER recall of Tylenol products. I’m not sure but this is starting to look like a quarterly action for Johnson and Johnson. Actually it’s worse than a quarterly occurrence because this [...]

Fixed and Upgraded! (Almost)

by Steve on 7, July, 2010

As some of you have noticed it’s been a couple of days since my last post and a couple of interviews haven’t gone up yet.  The reason is two fold: 1) I took a couple of days off going into the 4th of July Holiday Weekend. 2) The increasing popularity of this site caused a [...]
