Sounds like the guy has his own Podcast.

He used to air a show on both stations called Let's Talk About Radio where, once a week for half an hour, he (sometimes with guests) would talk about what was happening locally and nationally with radio. It aired for some 430 editions but these days is on very rarely.

He'd come on and sometimes would sound like a lefty with political opinions, and yet he came right out and said
that Air America was "poorly done radio" (and thus wouldn't
run it on his stations...). Gotta agree with him there.
And his "other station" is based in Cambridge, a perfect
location for an AAR station. Oddly enough, the ratings
for his Cambridge station leaped up sharply when his
competition, which had been playing adult standards,
DID take on Air America. THEIR ratings plummeted.
So he actually benefitted by AAR taking away his
competition, and listeners found WJIB. Sure, the
ratings aren't as big as those of 50,000 watt or
10,000 watt stations in Boston, but the ratings he
got for a _250 watt station_ did an amazing jump.
