Just a reminder, I'll be debuting my new public affairs program tonight on KAOS at 5pm - "No Talking Heads" - hope you can listen in. (I'm still not crazy about the name, so I'd consider a new name for the show if the right one hit me.)

And, you can tune in every Sunday night at 5pm for the same.

I'll be reviewing the weeks news tonight with Olympia City Councilman TJ Johnson, Olyblog founder Rick McKinnon and co-editor of Eat the State, Geov Parrish. (links of interest below)

We want your phone calls as well - the number to call is 360-867-5267 - so call in if you have any news you'd like to discuss or share.

TTYL,

Howard Rosenfeld

I just added the ability to leave comments . . . seems like such a simple thing. Don't know why it just occurred to me.

Oh well.

Hey, my new radio show, "No Talking Heads", starts this Sunday night, April 29th at 5pm on KAOS in Olympia. It's on 89.3 FM or hit the KAOS link for the web stream. Hope you can listen and call in!
