WABC added Batchelor and Alexander to our line-up of stars in the summer of 2001. When the worst terrorist attack in history occurred on 9/11/01, WABC decided to move them into the nightly line-up, 10pm to 1am. Their show quickly became a huge hit, as listeners loved the information and dramatic style of this dynamic duo. Join them for a special "bonus edition" on Saturday night 9pm to 1am.
Both longtime New York literary voices, John has published seven political novels as well as the best known history of the Republican Party, "Ain't You Glad You Joined the Republicans?" Paul's Rolling Stone profile of Governor George W. Bush was used as primary opposition research by Gore campaign manager Donna Brazille; Paul's Rolling Stone profile of Senator John McCain started a pie fight in the Republican Party.
Last year, John and Paul flew one end of the country to the other in the presidential primaries and national campaign, interviewing the dignitaries who are now Team Bush in Washington, such as Spencer of Michigan, Whitman of New Jersey, Karl Rove, Karen Hughes, Laura Bush of Texas, as well as chatting with the Democrats who are now the opposition, such as McCall, Lowey, Schumer, Cuomo, Ferarro, Kerrey, Hevesi of New York.
This year, for their Sunday Spin, they expanded their hunt for stalwart Republicans and adamant Democrats as well as growing their appetite for the hot pol and the hotter story, such as McCain of Arizona, Edwards of North Carolina, Jeffords of Vermont, Cox of California.
Also, they have added a new show, Conspiracy Radio, now and again on Saturday Night, to explore the unsolved political mysteries that color the daily headlines, such as the JFK assassination, the Watergate and Whitewater investigations, the Pardongate probe.
Whenever the alarm bells ring -- it's a new team to chronicle the W Years. Join John and Paul!
