What? Never imagined myself on a sports talk show, but there I was... Thanks to Lance McAlister, definitely an A-lister in legitimate radio, for having me on for a few minutes this evening, not to talk sports, thankfully, but my own program, Radio Retrofit.
Huge honor. 🙂
I'll link to the show soon.

Springsteen hasn’t backed down from fierce declarations, made in Manchester, England, on May 14.
Instead, the singer has immortalized the words, which are fighting. They open his new live album.
Springsteen’s effort is a signal to the rest of us, to do the same.
RESIST. However YOU are able.

Thanks to PDS for helping me figure out how to bridge my Bluesky account with his setup at Mastodon. It was easier than I thought, just follow the fediverse's bsky account: @ap.brid.gy
