MC Spice on the Sonia Chang-Diaz campaign trail

KeyannaGraham — Tue, 21 Oct 2008 01:38:26 -0400

Saturday, October 18th, hundreds of residents "spotted" the duo knocking on doors in Roxbury and Dorchester. Is that Sonia whatever-her-name-is? And is that MC Spice? The conversation is sparked, and the pitch to get support at the polls is made. Residents are wowed to have Ms. Diaz at their front door showing her normality and human side. Most were especially glad to see an old friend of the community supporting the Democratic nominee for state senate.

What ever happened to Nik Carter from WBCN

kensavage — Tue, 19 Jul 2005 03:57:08 -0400

Where is Nik Carter and what's he up to. Earlier this year I reported about Nik being fired from WBCN but I was wondering where my man has been lately.

Anyone know? Heard? Seen him?

Christopher Lydon to host PRI syndicated show on WGBH

mythicflow — Mon, 16 May 2005 23:22:32 -0400

...starting May 30 at 7:00 PM...

Lydon says, "My ambition, with producer Mary McGrath, is to thread the
seeming chaos of the Web into a coherent skein of ideas and argument.
We want to launch the smartest, most various, wide-open, irresistible,
and democratic conversation anyone's ever been invited to join, in any
format. The Internet transition we're living through is a boundless
opportunity. It extends the rim of the roundtable and the range of the
give-and-take to the whole planet."

Mike 93.7 is evil

adamg — Tue, 10 May 2005 12:49:47 -0400

Ruth vows to never again listen to Boston's newest generic station: She calls to complain about their new format and they edit her comments and play them on the air as congratulations:

My statement goes like this: "I just wanted to say that I do not like the new format at all. The music is great, some of which I haven't heard in years... But, the station now lacks personality. The announcements are obnoxious. I really miss fast Freddie, Ralphie & Karen and Lady D in the afternoon. I just love 'em! Bring back the dj's, I don't like this."

When I called in the message said they may use our comments on air. I hung up, I thought, Well they certainly won't use my comment on the air.

Well, this morning, I thought I heard my voice on the station. I did! But MIKE93.7 fm took parts of my message and made it sound positive..I heard," The music is great, some of which I haven't heard in years. I just love 'em"

I am so angry that I will never have anything to do with this station or WRKO again as they are not an honest establishment.
