WKXL - New Hampshire Talk Radio

My record with giving out picks during the past few weeks has been atrocious. I take personal offense at the abysmal display I have put on for you in the listening audience. As the host of New Hampshire's "next gen" sports talk radio show, I expect more from myself. And tonight I am going to come through: The Michigan Wolverines will win the CFP National Championship. Slim has a history of making predictions: Some right. Many wrong. On today's episode of The Sports Machine with Slim, he rants about New England fans wanting to get rid of Bill Belichick as coach. Then he tells everyone about how incredible the Celtics and Bruins both looked this weekend. And finally, he gives away a Loon Mountain lift pass to a loyal listener.

Monday's program featured some football talk on what is called "Black Monday", the day following the conclusion of the NFL's regular season when there's usually a number of coaches and general managers who get fired, and this year is no exception.

And, congratulations to John in Candia our first listener to "Ski Free" courtesy of WKXL and Loon Mountain in Lincoln NH. More chances to win coming up over the next two weeks!

2024 is going to be a huge year for Bitcoin news. It is expected that things will get kicked off in January with the approval of spot Bitcoin ETFs.

Natalie Brunell, host of the Coin Stories Podcast, is here to help everyone learn a little bit about Bitcoin in an information WKXL Spotlight! Natalie has interviewed major personalities such as Cathie Wood, Dave Portnoy, RFK Jr, Vivek Ramaswamy and Michael Saylor on her podcast. Today, she makes an appearance on the WKXL airwaves to tell us how she got involved with Bitcoin and why she is so upbeat about the future of the technology. She also explains why Bitcoin is different from other cryptocurrencies. This is great radio!

Lots of unanswered questions were speculated upon during Thursdays program. Who will come out on top in the Iowa Caucuses on January 15 and then eight days later, New Hampshires first in the nation primary? Will Bill Belichick return as head coach of the New England Patriots and if not, who will his successor be? And Bronny James had another good game for the University of Southern California basketball team on Thursday night. Will the dream of his dad, LeBron James come true, and the two will someday become teammates in the NBA?
