Okay, not so much funny, but maybe ‘funny’ as in ‘annoying’ – sometime last broadcast year, our UStream video disappeared. It took a lot of time (and some help from our helpful techie friends at the ISD in Hancock) to find out that the free service had been dropped (would it have hurt to actually […]
“And that’s the way it is.” For some reason this phrase used to irk my brother Ron. Any time he heard this phrase, he would snarl, “No, that’s the way you SAY it is.” I am still not sure why this riled Ron up, but coming from Walter Cronkite at the end of his […]
Raisanen, I have run two carnivals so now it is your turn.” So said my Junior High Student Council co-advisor and field trip taking buddy Bruce Johanson back in October of 1980. I am not totally sure what makes Finlanders sign up for the long haul on every project that they get involved with, but […]
Now the title of this FTV is pretty generic. It could apply to just about any endeavour, but with my background as a Geography/Earth Science teacher, it won’t surprise you that I am talking about science. Perhaps it is just a force of habit, but one of the first books I read after retirement set […]
In September of 2018, RadioWorld magazine featured an article by John Schneider as part of a series they call Roots of Radio. The full title of Schneider’s article was The Rabble-Rousers of Early Radio Broadcasting, subtitled Take a look at some of radio’s less-remembered provocateurs. Schneider’s article focused on the formative years of radio (1920s […]
My poor mother must have had worried what exactly we were up to. The Twig decided to learn Hoyt Axton’s song The Pusher off the eponymous first album by Steppenwolf. With us practicing in the basement at our normal volume (loud), there is no possible way she could have missed Mike singing the chorus. […]
We would like to take the opportunity to say ‘welcome back’ or just plain ‘welcome’ to our regular and/or new listeners. WOAS-FM 88.5 went on the air in December of 1978 making this year the beginning of our 40th year on the air. It would be great to tell you there is a big party […]

Foghorn Leghorn, the animated rooster, was given some of the pithiest lines in cartoondom. Things like, “The boy’s got a mouth like a cannon, always shootin’ it off” regularly flowed from his beak. His take on common sense was equally blunt: “The boy is about as sharp as a bowling ball” and “That boy is […]
There are two schools of thought when it comes to actor William Shatner: people either love him or they hate him. There doesn’t seem to be any middle ground and I am not sure where this attitude comes from. He certainly isn’t shy about sharing his opinions on various subjects and he has never had […]
