Aww, come on.. We won't tell everyone, just most everyone. ;-)

So he's like most talk radio these days?

What time slot did this open up? I've been wanting to talk about myself and make crude remarks for a long time, and nobody will sit and listen to me in person. Joking aside, the time slot is important for the success of what you put in it. At 5am, a farm report may do well, while a tech report might fall on deaf ears. The opposite might be true at midnight.

A local tech program would be good, there are plenty of 'tech' shows on TV at least, but most are just repeating things we've heard about years ago, but with sound effects and pretty graphics.

Did anyone watch "Beyond 2000" on Discovery Channel back in the late 90's? Its amazing how many things that program showed are turning up in newer "tech" shows. A few, like 3D optical data storage are starting to hit the high end market, and others, such as robot vacuums, are labled "as seen on TV" on Wal-Mart's clearance rack.
