Open-Ended Conservative Refuge is great. I don't follow any of the local liberal media trash in the state of Maryland. Started listening to the podcasts a month ago. I really enjoy the insights, but wish the shows ran 30-45 minutes to fit a whole show into my commute. Anthony Brown more of the same liberal BS we have had over the last 8 years They told us that the world would be so much better if run by women...............well? The Baltimore City Central Committee is a mess and friggin joke. Why don't you guys unload on them for a while. They can't find their asses. Get Rid of the RINO'S! Any Republican ticket in 2016 should have Dr. Ben Carson on it. Chairman Owe'MAOlley sucks! Do a poll on the anticipated top issues moving voters on November 4. That would be relevant info to help volunteers working for our Republican Candidates I'm actually a Highschool Student. Class of '16. Most all of us will be turning 18 in 2016; old enough to vote. The majority of my class is politically aware, and I thought it would be cool to share with RedMaryland on a show maybe sometime the points of view held by young people, new voters, on the issues, and general positions/ ideology. I could call in and one of you guys, the host, could ask me questions about what young people think about certain issues, who they're tending to lean towards on different issues, possible reasons why, etc... I think your Republican Nominee for President 2016 list ought to have a button for "None of the Above." Thank you. I am prepared to move to Delaware if Brown gets elected. More people die from Prostate Cancer than Breast Cancer, but balls are ugly and breast are beautiful. The don geronimo show is a west cost pod cast. Should not be invloved in an east cost podcast contest, also the host is a bully, a terrorist, and all around bad person. Sports teams should not wear pink unless it is their team colors. It is a distraction. Also, your questionnaire requires you to pick a choice, even if you picked "Other." This is the weirdest most specific quiz ever. Only DnM fans from Maryland and only the conservatives? Get the Progressives Dems out of Maryland Since your poll didn't work properly I had to choose MD Public TV since I didn't see WMAL or 98.3 Star FM in Southern Maryland.

Greetings! America is currently at war with between 0 and 134 countries. Constitutionally- required Declarations Of War may be passé, but our war machine limps along vigorously under endless “authorizations for use of military force”. However, war can only be a temporary measure for any society. It may sometimes be necessary but it always costs, and no society can bear the expense forever. Put aside the irreplaceable price in blood... what’s the cost in treasure of our current state of Endless War, what could we do with that treasure instead, and what can we do to turn things around? How much do we spend on guns and how much butter could it buy? The military budget itself was near $600 billion in 2015 and we’ve spent over $7.6 trillion on war since 2001, but that may be misleading.

  • Administration of Donald J. Trump, 2017 Remarks On
    Administration of Donald J. Trump, 2017 Remarks on Signing an Executive Order on Promoting Energy Independence and Economic Growth March 28, 2017 The President. Thank you. Shelley. Thank you very much. I guess they like what we're about to sign, huh? Right? I knew they were going to like this one. Well, thank you very much. I very much appreciate it. And thank you to our great Vice President, Mike Pence. I'm thrilled that everybody could be here with us today. I want to give special thanks to Administrator Scott Pruitt, Secretary Ryan Zinke, and Secretary Rick Perry for your remarks. I told Rick, I said, run it the way you ran Texas—[laughter]—because this is going to be a great operation. And he did a great job, and we're honored to have all three. And I'm really honored to have our Vice President, because Mike Pence has been outstanding. Hasn't he been outstanding? Together, this group is going to do a truly great job for our country. We have a very, very impressive group here to celebrate the start of a new era in American energy and production and job creation. The action I'm taking today will eliminate Federal overreach, restore economic freedom, and allow our companies and our workers to thrive, compete, and succeed on a level playing field for the first time in a long time, fellas. It's been a long time. I'm not just talking about 8 years; we're talking about a lot longer than 8 years.

  • Constructing and Performing an On-Air Radio Identity in a Changing Media Landscape
    CONSTRUCTING AND PERFORMING AN ON-AIR RADIO IDENTITY IN A CHANGING MEDIA LANDSCAPE A Dissertation Submitted to the Temple University Graduate Board In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY by David F. Crider January 2014 Examining Committee Members: Dr. Nancy Morris, Advisory Chair, Department of Media Studies and Production Dr. Patrick Murphy, Department of Media Studies and Production Dr. Donnalyn Pompper, Department of Strategic Communication Dr. Catherine Hastings, External Member, Susquehanna University ii © Copyright 2014 by David F. Crider All Rights Reserved iii ABSTRACT The radio industry is fighting to stay relevant in an age of expanding media options. Scholarship has slackened, and media experts say that radio’s best days are in the past. This dissertation investigates how today’s radio announcer presents him/herself on the air as a personality, creating and performing a self that is meant for mass consumption by a listening audience. A participant observation of eleven different broadcast sites was conducted, backed by interviews with most key on-air personnel at each site. A grounded theory approach was used for data analysis. The resulting theoretical model focuses on the performance itself as the focal point that determines a successful (positive) interaction for personality and listener. Associated processes include narrative formation of the on- air personality, communication that takes place outside of the performance, effects of setting and situation, the role of the listening audience, and the reduction of social distance between personality and listener. The model demonstrates that a personality performed with the intent of being realistic and relatable will be more likely to cement a connection with the listener that leads to repeated listening and ultimately loyalty and fidelity to that personality.
