    John

    Long time listener. Been ill and in & out of hospital for several months. Lost track of your afternoon radio show. Are you still broadcasting? If so, what AM/FM station?

    Thanks, John.

    John we need a longer show. What happened? I feel like I’m getting less or we’re all getting less. I’m just a fan of the longer formats and you used to have one this is a bummer. I’m a driver for work and I burn through one of your 20 min shows fast. Can we get more content? We want more content from you and your opinions like before. Just consider it please 👊🏻
