So, I was listening to the radio this weekend, and was pleasently surprised to hear an entire episode of "The Bill Radke Treatment" devoted to autism.

as long as you're listening to KIRO FM, do you also tune in to Coast to Coast? just curious.

No. Not as long as George Noory is on it. I prefer Art Bell when it comes to Coast to Coast. Mostly on KIRO FM I listen to Ron and Don. Don's pretty funny, and then Ron is all serious. Perfect duo, don't you agree?

i also prefer art bell's voice and delivery, much more laid back. what don't you like about george? just curious. i take it you are a seattle resident? i live way out in the wilds of mason county myself, amongst the smogberry trees. i haven't heard of ron and don, i only listen to 97.3 at night to hear coast. btw, what do you think of the new coast announcer? i prefer listening to ross mitchell's melifluously sepulchral contrabass voice.

It's not George himself that I dislike, But his topics. Always seems to talk about the-end-of-the-world-this and the-end-of-the-world-that. Art talks more about aliens and stuff, which is sort of cool. No, I don't live in Seattle. Towards the eastside. The closest big city to me is Bellevue. Anyway, Ron and Don is on from 3:00pm-7:00pm. As for Ross Mitchell, haven't heard of him. Unless he used to be Coast's weekend host.

ross mitchell was george's main program announcer, he hate a distinctively deep contrabass voice which was mellifluous and musical to the ear. you live in a nice but expensive area, compared with cheepskate central here in mason.

Yeah it's nice area to look around, but commuting options are almost non-existant if you don't drive (so I have to walk everywhere). The nearest bus stop is, like, 30 minutes walking distance. A Park-and-Ride.

yeah, the last time i drove there, way back in 1994, i felt i barely escaped by the skin of my teeth, the traffic was murder then and i hate to think of what it is like now. shelton is so much easier to get around in.
