WKXL - New Hampshire Talk Radio

This week on Facing the Future, I spoke with Mike Murphy, Senior Vice President and Chief of Staff at the Committee for a Responsible Federal Budget. We discussed the many daunting fiscal challenges awaiting the winner of the 2024 presidential election. These include rising deficits, near record debt, impending Social Security and Medicare trust fund insolvency, expiring tax cuts, and the need to raise the debt limit again. It's not a pretty picture.

The Celtics lost to OKC last night by a score of 127-123. Jayson Tatum got taken to the rack with 25 seconds left, by a player who averages 3 points a game, to help seal the defeat. MEANWHILE, Caitlyn Clark from Iowa catches a pass with 3 seconds left and proceeds to drain a game winning three from the logo! Way to show Tatum how it's done, Caitlyn! The Bruins won again last night to extend their winning streak to 4 games. Shattenkirk stayed hot with his 3rd goal in 3 games as the Bruins beat Columbus 4-1. The Sports Machine with Slim digs deep into the Celtics loss, the Bruins win, and the Patriots future today on a fast moving Wednesday edition!

Doo wop DJ to the gods! That’s how I refer to him. Among his many talents, Joe is a DJ for WMWM 91.7 and https://northofbostonradio.com/ and spins his best Doo Wop on Uncle Henry's Basement and Uncle Henry’s Folk show. Sometimes that’s usually followed up playing DJ's picks on Heart of Saturday Night where you can expect a mixture of Psychedelic, Folk, Deep Tracks, Jazz. Questions, questions, questions! What music falls under the genre title of Doo Wop? What groups are considered Psychedelic? That’s the first half of the show. Joe is also artistic director for Bedford Off Broadway in Bedford NH (https://www.bedfordoffbroadway.com) and so we jump into their upcoming show (directed by himself) “Blame it on Beckett”. The staging of the show has them using the old Bedford Town Hall in a very interesting format.

Our Wednesday guest was Julie Farnam author of the new book "Domestic Darkness: An Insider's Account of the January 6 Insurrection and the Future of Right Wing Extremism".

The year 2024 is sure to be filled with tons of news about the cryptocurrency industry.
