You'll never guess who I just heard on the air at WRKO!

Marjorie Claprood is back! She has a new show..Started tonight! The show is "Counterpoint and it started at 7:00. She had Eugene Rivers on the phone, and she was sure being the old Marjorie. It was sooooo good to hear her good liberal voice I nearly drove off the road!

Tune in! In case you have forgotten because it has been so long since liberals have been a part of RKO, it is AM 680.
