WKXL - New Hampshire Talk Radio

The Sports Machine with Slim returns from the weekend with an update: Belichick has landed! Not Bill Belichick though - His son Steve Belichick has been named the Defensive Coordinator of the Washington Huskies. That's a pretty high level job for Steve to be handed. Time will tell if he is up to the task....Time is one thing that is very much on our mind today at The Sports Machine with Slim. Today is Slim's 50th birthday and he will spend it talking on the radio and coaching basketball. "I wouldn't have it any other way," says Slim.

Hockey East correspondent John Leahy joined us on Monday's show to highlight the men's and women's action over the weekend in college hockey's premier conference. Also Monday we had a chance to chat with Dustin Dunbar, author of the new book, "You're Doing Great! And Other Lies Alcohol Told Me."

The Boston Celtics and the Lakers played Thursday night. You know the result by now. But did you know that the final score does not matter? What matters is how Jayson Tatum approached the game. Let's talk about that on today's episode of The Sports Machine with Slim. There is lots of basketball talent in the studio today. Slim relives some of his glory days as a player and a coach during this episode. He also deep-dives into the mind of a 7 year-old as he interviews his daughter who is the leading scorer on her 1st/2nd grade basketball team.

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."

Jane welcomes Beth Gaby on Artful Living today. Beth is a registered midwife and organizer of Concord 40 Days for Life Campaign here in NH. You are invited to join our thoughtful conversation on babies, health, and life in general!

Wednesday night Slim went to see a live sporting event in Hampstead, New Hampshire. The playoff tension was palpable and the action was full throttle. The night was worthy of discussion.....and that discussion is happening on WKXL Radio today on The Sports Machine with Slim! We also talk a lot of hockey today in preparation for the NHL all star game this coming weekend. The Bruins have two representatives: David Pastrnak and Jeremy Swayman. Who is your pick to be the game's MVP? Slim says his choice is Pastrnak!

We talked about radio on the radio on Thursday with the former owner of the legendadry Oldies 99, Clark Smidt. Clark has spent decades involved in the programming and ownership of radio stations throughout the Northeast and shared some of his great knowledge of the business, and the bright future that is in store for over the air, and digital radio.

This week on Facing the Future, we’ll take a close look at President Biden’s pledge not to raise taxes on households with annual income below $400,000.

Our guest is Ben Ritz, Director of the Center for Funding America’s Future at the Progressive Policy Institute. Ritz explains why that pledge is difficult to implement and how it undermines policymaking.

The Boston Celtics are at their best when Jayson Tatum is driving to the basket! The Sports Machine with Slim listener community already knows this. But last night, Slim decided to do some statistics gathering as he watched the Celtics play the Indiana Pacers. The numbers will amaze you! After Slim reveals his incredible Jayson Tatum numbers from last night, he treats us to an epic "Big Game" prediction: The San Francisco 49ers will beat Kansas City and the margin of victory will be either 1 or 2 points. Why? Gamblers might want to listen to today's episode of The Sports Machine with Slim to find out!

Wednesday morning's show featured a radio reunion of St. James and Cail. The Incomparable Peter St. James joined us in studio to talk about the New Hampshire outdoors, Social Security, vintage radio days, Mark "The Bird" Fidrych and that only scratches the surface.
