Farm Report. Ugh! I can remember doing farm report many years ago. There is no way you can screw up farm report. But its hard to get excited about the price of pork bellies on the Chicago Mercantile at 4 O'clock in the morning.

Hey Roddy - I do enjoy your posts here. This talk about the Georgia Radio HoF got me thinking about your blog - Atlanta Airwave Action (on which the final post was about the 2013 Georgia Radio HoF inductees). Is there any chance you will someday dust off the cobwebs and start posting there again? It was a very insightful read, which covered topics too in-depth to post here. At any rate, I am sure you will be at the induction ceremony again this year!
All meritorious. Ed Shane may have been the one who got the most trade press, as PD, manager and consultant. He was considered somewhat of a god by many who had worked with him.

I appreciate your comments. After writing the blog almost every week for 5 years, I just got burnt out. I miss some aspects of it but still can't get myself motivated to start it again. Who knows? I may feel differently some day.
Yes, I always attend the GRHOF's induction ceremony. I'm a big fan of the organization, and John Long has done an incredible job building it and running it.

My old buddy Bob "Bob Walker" Middleton did a character when he moved to Kansas, Porky Martin. Porky's schtick was "There's no farm news today!" Didn't set well with the farming people of Kansas and the station management banished him for a time, but let him come back when he didn't make fun of the "farm news."
