WKXL - New Hampshire Talk Radio

Joining us for our Tuesday show to talk baseball was Chris Hatfield, the Executive Editor of www.soxpropects.com. Also on Tuesday, our monthly segment with the New Hampshire Department of Safety features John Marasco, the Director of the N.H. Department of Motor Vehicles and Deputy Director Janet Bouchard. We talked about new initiatives at the DMV and the national deadline for "Real I.D." which is May 7, 2025.

The Sports Machine with Slim is a New England focused sports talk radio show. The Bruins and Celtics are both in the playoffs and cranking......so why would we start today's show off talking about Anthony Edwards? Because he is the best player in the NBA! Jokic fans will get upset with me, but I have made up my mind. Edwards is the best defensive player in the NBA and that gives him the edge. Minnesota will square off against Denver in the next round of the NBA playoffs, so there will be a time in the near future when this topic will be front and center in basketball discussion circles. We at The Sports Machine with Slim just get to things a little bit earlier than most folks.......By the way: The Celtics play the Miami Heat tonight looking to go up 3 games to 1 in the series. The Bruins already lead Toronto 3-1 and will look to close out that series tomorrow night.

Monday's show featured some Bruins talk with sportscaster/author John Leahy who will be showcasing his versatility Wednesday in Concord during an open mic Event at the Bank of New Hampshire Stage at 7. We were also joined by author Jason Bell who has written about a little known spy, Winthrop Bell (no relation). His new book is "Cracking the Nazi Code: The Untold Story of Agent A12 and the Solving of the Holocaust Code".

Today's edition of The Sports Machine with Slim centers around the mentality of an underdog. The Bruins were most certainly an underdog in game 3 of their series. And what happened? The most gutsy effort of the year. The Miami Heat were an underdog in game 2 of the Celts/Heat series. What happened there? A next level performance by an undermanned Miami Heat team.

Underdogs have more motivation. And it shows in the performance on the court, ice, etc. The Sports Machine with Slim is a huge underdog going up against the likes of much more well known competitors......but we keep chugging along and overperforming.....keeping the mindset of an underdog all the while. Tune in today to hear what all the buzz is about!

It's Friday, which means the Friday Fun Bunch is in the WKXL Studios! Ken Cail interviews Tom Raffio, President & CEO of Northeast Delta Dental and Kitty Rae the OFFICIAL “Flick Chick."

What a game by the Boston Bruins! They exhibited constant toughness throughout the game and persevered through some shoddy referee calls to emerge victorious over the Toronto Maple Leafs by a score of 3-2. I was physically exhausted by the end of the game due to all of the jumping around and screaming at the tv screen! This game was non-stop blissful stress! The Celtics have me mentally exhausted. They are so talented but so soft at the same time. Their coach is a HUGE question mark. Today on The Sports Machine with Slim you can hear our next level insight and takes on both the Bs and the Cs. This is the place to be!
