Yes, the tough broad from Eastie. That is a guarantee that I’ll flip to WBUR or WBZ...or perhaps Bloomberg. Last week makes me wonder if a conscious decision has been made not to have Avi Nelson back on the station.
Sandy mentioned to Howie on air that Steve Deace won’t be back (he had put on someone “playing” the late Margaret Sanger without mentioning it). Maybe that was decided by RKO management. Years ago Jerry Williams had someone like Jay Charbonneau on playing “the governor” (Dukakis at the time) and they didn’t announce it was an impersonation/comedy bit and some people were troubled by it (couldn’t tell...); same may have happened with Steve Sweeney as Kevin White, the mayah o’ the schitty o’Borston. Oddly enough one day Howie did have Gov Patrick on—the real Gov. Patrick, despite it being April Fools’ Day.
Yeah I don’t know if the RKO bigwigs (guy named Kevin Graham in charge now) put forth the fill ins and I, too, miss Avi. Not sure if he’s on at all. Currently former bosses Jason Wolfe and Julie Kahn are helping out former WEEI host Glenn Ordway who is doing online-only (and XM CH 108 starting Mon.) sports talk Big Show Unfiltered. And since it’s online, you can indeed hear the S and the F words.
