WKXL - New Hampshire Talk Radio

This week on Facing the Future we got an update on the latest inflation and economic growth numbers from Douglas Holtz-Eakin, President of the American Action Forum and former Director of the Congressional Budget Office (CBO). Despite some encouraging short-term numbers, Holtz-Eakin sees a few warning signs for 2024.

We also discussed his new issue brief on employment-based immigration.

On the hump day edition of The Sports Machine, Slim opened up by telling two stories about recent interactions with people in the NH community. To summarize - Slim thinks he is one of the very best sports talk personalities in the country. Pretty bombastic talk for someone who has only been in the industry for a handful of days!

Slim took a few questions from callers on The Sports Hotline 603-224-1450 and he let the listening audience know one simple fact: The San Francisco 49ers are going to win it all in the NFL this season!

It’s December and that means Christmas! And Christmas means tradition! And tradition means taking in a holiday show and today we invited Andrew Pinard and Erik Hodges to stop by and talk about the Hatbox Theatre’s annual production of “Christmas Carol”.

Erik plays Scrooge in this version which was adapted and directed by Jill Pinard. Topics today were: the use of modern technology in the classic Dickens play, the tremendous cast and costumes used, Eriks approach to the main character and much more!

NFL Hall of Famer George Allen was one of the topics on Wednesday. Mike Richman joined the program. Mr. Richman is the author of a new book “George Allen: A Football Life” which describes Allen’s 24/7 passion for the game in addition to his eccentricities and his contentious relationships with a pair of owners he worked for, Dan Reeves of the L.A. Rams and Edward Bennett Williams of the Washington Redskins.

On the 2nd episode of The Sports Machine, we asked the listening audience a simple question: Does Jayson Tatum have what it takes to get the Celtics to the promised land? Slim went on a wild rant today in response to that question.

And then he welcomed Jane Cormier into the studio to deliver an overview of the incredible impact that Brad Marchand has had on the Bruins during the past week since his grandmother passed away.

The Spirit of Christmas is upon us. Artful Living Jane Cormier discusses some local holiday events and how people can manage what can be a "crazy" time of year!

Tuesday featured our monthly conversation with the New Hampshire Department for Insurance. Commissioner D.J. Bettencourt was our featured guest on this segment and informed our listeners that the annual open enrollment period is still open until January 15, 2024. He also mentioned the re-start of the Mental Health and Addiction Services Advisory Committee by the N.H. Insurance Department. For more information contact [email protected]/insurance

The very first episode of The Sports Machine introduced our host, Slim, to the listening audience! He covered some Celtics, Patriots, and college football content while giving an overview for the future of The Sports Machine.

Today we are discussing living with diabetes, how to manage diabetes in a healthy, successful, and fulfilling way and some of the common misconceptions regarding diabetes. We also have Jodi Harper, Assistant Director of AHEC, joining us with her own personal testimonial.

Hockey East Guru John Leahy joined the program to detail another exciting weekend of men’s and women’s play in the country’s top college hockey conference. We also had the opportunity to announce the latest addition to our WKXL live programming roster, “The Sports Machine” with Slim which made its’ debut at 10 AM on Monday.
