After a successful premiere show on BTR, with guest Dennis Spisak, candidate for Congress in Ohio’s 6th District, we have decided that we need to move to a network that technically supports what we are trying to do with Rick Myers Radio and VTN, The Valley Talk Network http://valleytalkradio.com/. 

We are moving to a new network that supports the technical specs we require to produce a quality show. 

The Valley Talk Network includes MVRed Radio, the Conservative voice of the Valley; RickMyersRadio, the liberal/progressive show from Minneapolis; and VALLEY HUDDLE, a weekly local football show for the Mahoning Valley…

Tune in for Rick Myers Radio on Tuesday, 2 September, the day after Labor Day.  We are hoping DFL Senate Candidate Al Franken will join us live from his campaign bus on the road… 

Stand by for more big announcements from Rick Myers Radio and VTN… 

It’s funny… Every Olympics kinda sneaks up on us, then we are suddenly talking about sports we’ve never seen… I’ve been mezmerized by the Olympics in China, from the opening ceremonies, which were the MOST amazing live stage show I’ve EVER seen, to the individual stories of the athletes… It’s a spectacle!!!

All of a sudden we know what a KILL is in beach volleyball, how to score a synchronized dive team and the rules for women’s floor exercises…

And the US is doing GREAT!!!

It’s a great break from the political craziness of this election cycle. We can root for the US, root for the underdog, and marvel at what China is becoming… They are the next world power. Better they are friends, than enemies….

Go Team USA!!!

 Unfortunately, there’s ALWAYS a disruption, and the fatal stabbing of Todd Bachman, CEO of Bachman Floral and Garden, a fixture here in the Twin Cities cast a shadow on the debut of the US Men’s Volleyball team Saturady night.  All good KARMA goes out to his wife, Barbara, who is in critical but stable condition in a Beijing hospital.  The murder seems to have been a random event, occuring at a landmark called “The Drum Tower.”  Following the knife attack, the killer commited suicide, jumping from the tower.

And, I just have to mention, the Chinese Women’s Gymnastics team is a complete fraud!  If one girl on that team is really 16 years old, then I’m 30 !!!  China has a team of 12 year olds with ‘passports’ that claim they are 16!!! 

End of rant…

Thank you, Paris, you just earned another 15 minutes!!!   

Paris has a more extensive energy policy than McCain! 

That’s hot…

Well, I survived the first show…  After some of the usual technical issues, we sort it out about 20 minutes into the show…  My guest was DENNIS SPISAK, running for Congress in the 6th District of Ohio.  We had a great discussion about alternative power, restoring America’s manufacturing base and 3rd party politics.  You can hear the show at the link below, just skip ahead to the 20 minute mark… 

Thanks to all the online listeners! 

Hope to hear from you next week!
