basic knowledge required

I tuned to 1010 at 1pm today. I have no idea who the people on the panel were but they were ignorant of basic American political knowledge. They were discussing who they would like to see as US President. Two names were mentioned and both can't run. Barack Obama served two terms and can't run again. Elon Musk was born in South Africa.

Knowledge, people, knowledge.

At least they showed up, which for that station these days, is an accomplishment.

They rotate different guests for "Free For All Friday".  I used to listen when Amanda Galbraith was hosting, but she went on mat leave.  Since then, they are rotating different hosts, as well as different guests.

According to my podcast catcher...
This week's show is hosted by Mike Kakuk and features panelists Ryan Price, news director and afternoon drive host on CFAX 1070 in Victoria, B.C, and Karen Restoule, CEO of Shared Value Solutions, BOLD Realities and Whose Land.

While on the topic of basic knowledge, a usually-reliable source states that "Qatar" is pronounced "Cutter".

I always thought it was pronounced Kay-tar. Learn something new everyday.

Qatar, in English pronunciation KUT-ter, KAH-ter, kuh-TAR, or GUH-ter.

I guess the stadium beer ban could have you singing, "While my Qatar gently weeps..."

The best knowledge is that the wife can still run.
