So far the new afternoon show is much better than I expected.
Here's a thought to those who find offense to this type of radio show. Don't listen. No need to be a Karen.
It's a local sports radio show. Why should I assume that sexual harassment and rude comments would be part of it? And why should I just accept it. If you think that's normal discussion, then maybe the problem is yours.
Jesus Christ. Guessing you're the type of person who wants Dave Chapelle canceled as well. You're making baseless accusations out of nothing. Lighten the **** up, Francis.
On top of that, you just admitted you don't even listen to the show, so no, that isn't fair to criticize something you don't consume, because then you end up with **** like what you're spewing where you're pulling out **** from your ass.
Actually thats a you issue right or wrong.
Listening to JP describe how the bridge changes the entrance to Iowa State University and Ames as a whole just now was pretty cool.
I love when local shows have JP as a guest. I could listen to him talk athletics and isu athletics for hours.
There are lots of ways we are better than Iowa but the biggest gap is at AD. JP runs circles around GB.
For sure. Even when I put my neutral glasses on, there's just nothing that screams "exciting" about their athletic department. Just overall a very boring department, which is a huge reflection on Barta.
Murph and Andy had JP on after the NCAA tournament to talk about NIL. I PM’ed Andrew Downs saying I’d be interested to hear GarBar’s and the Drake and UNI’s AD’s views as well. He basically answered Barta is asked to come on quite often actually. Lol. Sounded like they don’t even bother asking anymore.
Agreed. I know I have a bias but like you even looking at neutrally it's not close. JP is just so outgoing and personal and willing to do probably about interview he can do and willing to go in depth in those interviews.
Contrast that with GB who seems to be as boring as log and if he ever does an interview keeps answers short and keep things close to the vest which makes for a boring interview subject.
Can listen to the interview here. It starts at the 12:12 mark:
The Drive Golden Rule - Thursday Hour 2 9/1/2022 - The Drive with Heather and Sean | iHeart
Sean Taps In With Jamie Pollard And Asks Him About Media Deals, Realignment, and the New Bridge. Trent and Sean Wrap Up The Show With Some College Talk
Join us in the cave if you want to discuss cancel culture. I'm fine discussing it here but I think that's a better place for it.
And it isn't baseless at all; I have consistently said that it is potential sexual harassment and that is completely accurate. Asking someone at work if they are a boob or butt guy in addition to being boorish would be sexual harassment if the recipient didn't want to discuss it. That's what makes it potential sexual harassment. Travis' problem is that he is the host and is asking the college kid trying to get into the business. That power dynamic makes it a lot more difficult to say "that is inappropriate; I don't want to discuss that with you."
And it's completely fair to criticize it. Because if not, when can you? At 2:25 today you used the winner on ISUTex's post where he told people to not listen if they didn't like it. So you clearly don't think people should complain about things they're watching/listening to (because they should just not watch/not listen) and you don't think they should complain when they don't watch/listen. Can people just never complain, or just never complain if it's about something that you like?
I agree there are times when the solution is to just not watch/listen, but that's when the thing isn't objectionable, it's just not your thing (e.g. NASCAR, Baseball, the NFL, etc.).
The ad buy for the comply now complain later ad I think went across a lot of iheart stations. Hear it a bunch on WHO.
Has someone offered to sponsor an opposing view? Money talks. I’d guess if a police reform activist paid the money, KXNO would find a place to put them on.
Also, the whole opposing viewpoints on the radio went out the window 1987 when the Fairness Doctrine was abolished. It just happens, unlike this case, it’s the conservative agenda that gets ignored for the most part.
Have you listened to the radio ever? Specifically like the whole AM dial?
On Saturday night I was driving up to the bridge lit up with storm clouds and massive lightning in the background. Super cool.
My goodness this morning on the penalty box a caller threw Travis in for giving Sean crap. The caller then said a hit should be put on Travis and the tone of the caller didn't seem to imply he was joking.
Wow.
Wow.
Love the Travis defenders. "Maybe you should turn the channel if you don't like blatant sexual harassments over the air waves," is quite the take.
