I'm launching two podcasts very shortly, dealing with aging businesspeople and professionals.. Is aging liberating or is it a slippery slope to irrelevance?
A second topic is BOTTOMS UP. The event that was thought at the time to be horrific (missing my flight to my brothers wedding), only to have it become a pivotal great moment in life when the plane goes down.
I'm looking for an articulate and smart person to co-host or guest on a regular basis... Tx

Word on the street that they're bringing Berkovits back. He was fired, so he'd be eligible to do fill in work.

Did you hear his show yesterday?  One of his claims : lines are loaded, but call anyways. He covered two topics in two hours:" The election and the Wily Wynne's ploy to steal a coalition by" conceding "  and the appropriate punishment, if any, for a father guilty of forgetting his child in a vehicle in Burlington.
he then gets dozens and dozens of callers, nonstop, to  call in -  all shills presumably. He runs his show the way he runs his business. RA, you were always right about him.

So in death we're not allowed to discuss somebody's faults? Nonsense.

Not a comparison, but I seem to miss knowing all about Hitler's many positive traits. Again, not a comparison.
 

Are you effing for real?  Get back under your rock. Why are you allowed to post on this forum. Get a job. Oh, you must have tried.

Highlight of the entire week, Sundays 5-7pm.Global news radio 640AM. Yes?

They wouldn't give him a script.

Ahhhh, but you have my contact number, don't you?  So, out up.  I dare you.  Let me do what i must do. Coward.

So are we making nice, RA?
Am i no longer unqualified to host a talk show?
Am I a Rabbi, accountant, professor, jeweller, and sometime social worker?
Are my PPM measures uo 150%, as claimed, and killing RB in that time slot?
Was i fired by Bendixen for being too rowdy and too Jewish?
Am i no longer a fraudster and con artist?
Are we good?
Will you be apologizing cause we are good?
Or, do i need to do what i need to do

It was a dumb move.  Where's he gonna a get his jewellery repaired now?

I'm obviously not the politician type.

On the plus side, the figures are in U.S. funds so that makes it a little better!)

Only if they spend their money in
Canada, don't you THINK?

Or a talk show combining Currasco, Tom and Jack, Troikar gems N pants?

Anyone who’s ever listened to Jack Berkovits knows the man is prone to, shall we charitably say “exaggeration.” In the past he’s claimed to be a rabbi, a teacher, a legal expert (who supposedly rejected admission to Harvard Law School when he was asked a question about defending Nazis in court) and in previous weeks, a marriage counselor. In fact, I’ve lost track of all his supposed expertise.
 
And he was at it again on Sunday, this time starting off his show with five minutes of braggadocio touting his terrific ratings in the last book. While admitting he didn’t “have the numbers in front of him,” he insists his ratings, especially in key demos, are up 150%.
 
Is it possible his numbers went up year over year? Certainly. He only started last April, and what was on before him was either paid programming or re-rolls. So whatever the real figures, he had nowhere to go but up. If you’re at .01 on Sundays from 5-7 PM and you wind up with more listeners because you’re live and local, your ratings will almost have to increase.
 
He also referenced that “station down the dial,” noting their numbers were “way down.” I have no way of corroborating that, and he offered no other proof, but I do know that the Sunday afternoon time period isn’t exactly the most important in radio. Not to mention the overall numbers show ’RB with a 7.2 and 640 with a 1.7. Hardly the stuff of bragging rights!
 
Not that I would expect anything different from a man who only advertises on the station that carries his show, is always talking about how he has “so many callers, we can’t get to them all” and then rarely gets to any of them, complains about having to pay his workers on stat holidays, and admits to being on vacation in Hong Kong last week and getting up at 6 AM to listen to a reroll of his show online because he wanted to hear himself.
 
More people may indeed be listening to him. But I can testify that, for the most part, I�
