Mister Ford discusses audio intimacy and take a side trip down the trecherous and insidious roadmap of diversity
Bill Murphy is the host on this bone chilling, spin tingling edition of the John Ford Podcast. John and Bill insult each other, talk about the good old days of broadcast radio (before it was absorbed into the hive collective). Included are discussions about WHSE MIami, The Edge in Dallas, Sonny Fox and a plethora of gabbagole.
Once upon a time, there was a radio station in Long Branch New Jersey, right there on Broadway. It was a little dumpy, with a Chinese takeout downstairs, that undoubtedly served cat. And an honest to God pizza joint just around the corner. John will reminisce with radio and Tri-State traffic guy Matt Ward about the '80s in New Jersey radio and the characters who populated the ariwaves.
What could be the most important lesson I learned about doing good/entertaining radio I learned at my first radio gig. The worst radio station I ever cracked a mic at. Rambling on WADY-The Lady "Radio for Singles only." Sex radio in Miami in the '70s.

This week on the John Ford Podcast it's pontifications on the smelly story of Jussie Smollett and John gets a bit annoyed, dare we say angry over something called offense archeology, and no, although this topic stinks worse than the Smollett scandal, it's not about odiferous catacombs.

Just like my first pony, had my first experience with legal weed in Cali last week. And Further thoughts on the cult of Beto.
Commitment to its leader, questioning and dissent are discouraged, the group is elitist, a polarized us-versus-them mentality, exalted ends justify whatever means it deems necessary... Politics has become just another cult .

Would you believe nearly 80 percent of us Mercan's view political correctness unfavorably ? Would you believe Hispanics, Asians and Indians view it with a higher unfavorability than the white folks? Would you believe that 79 percent of those under 24 have an unfavorable view of political correctness? If this is true, why do the Democrats keep running on identity politics?
Just why the heck do you want to do a podcast in the first place? Are you going to get famous? Rich? Popular? Just join the giant Internet promotion machine and you too can become the next hula-hoop.
Woke up thinking about broadcasting today. The podcast today gives kudos to the best solo talk host I ever heard, ramblings on South Florida radio, what makes a great talk host and what doesn't.
