Howie thread for the month starting with his 3/2/14 column about Kerry Kennedy, "Hooray! Justice is served" ("Mary Jo Kopechne could not be reached for comment.")
I heard that live and thought it was fantastic, albeit very chilling, if you weren't aware of Margaret Sanger's dubious history. (I am aware of her history with eugenics, etc.). I'll bet several listeners learned something new that day... ;-)
Overall I liked what I heard from Steve Deace. He struck me as kind of like a young Glenn Beck.
Except for Deace, Howie's subs were awful last week. Listened to a little of the two young women on Monday and Tuesday (meh, too much chattering), enjoyed Deace's show on Wednesday. As usual, in the first few seconds of hearing McScreamer's horrific voice, off went the radio!
I was hoping we would be treated to the great Jeff Kuhner, or usual Howie subs Avi Nelson and Col. David Hunt. Good to hear Howie again this week. Wish WRKO would build Howie a studio in Florida!
Thanks for the links to Howie’s columns, RR!
Now the question is who fills in for Howie tomorrow and if Avi is permanently off the air. It would be interesting to know who exactly (Bill Cooksey?) makes the substitute host calls. He told one caller the other day that it wasn’t his call. I can see why he is frustrated with RKO.
Ugh, McScreamer in for Howie yesterday... I wasn't expecting that. Radio promptly went OFF as usual. Howie had better be in today... Grr!
I don’t know if Avi is perm. off yet but when I tuned in yesterday and heard Michele I thought oh that’s right, Howie said on Tue that he’d be off Thu since he was to speak at Billerica library
Yes, I don’t think dropping a few comments via email or written letter would hurt. I was thinking of going to the GOAL dinner tomorrow night to ask Howie what exactly is going on with Avi. They can’t think Eastie’s tough broad is a better substitute.

Ah, the Kennedy’s. Why my tag line has not changed in over a decade.

For those in central MA etc., you occasionally got Howie pre-empted by Red Sox on WCRN 830. Not anymore—no longer carrying Sox games (like today’s 3 pm opening day game, or Friday’s
home opener). AM 1440 WVEI is the sole Worc. affiliate of the Sox now.
