WKXL - New Hampshire Talk Radio

Three time Super Bowl winner Michael Lombardi joined us on Tuesday to discuss his new book, “Football Done Right: Setting the Record Straight on the Coaches, Players and History of the NFL”. We discuss his lists of the Top 100 players of all-time and his top 10 coaches in the history of the league.

On today's Artful Living, Jane has a fascinating discussion with Rob Landry, from 90.9 WSCS, a local community radio program at Colby Sawyer College. Rob and Jane discuss the history and importance of independent radio and how much it offers in bringing community together through the arts and quality programming.

Monday’s program included time to reflect on the tragic day 22 years ago when our nation was attacked by terrorists on 9/11. Also, our weekly chat with UNH Head Football Coach Rick Santos. The Wildcats will host Dartmouth on Saturday night at 6 in their home opener in Durham.

Meggin Dail, President of the Pittsfield Players, dropped by to discuss the Players upcoming fundraiser “Curtain Up - An Evening of Music”. We covered pretty much everything I was curious about. We talked about how and when it was cast. How was the audition turnout? Is the show themed? What type of songs can we expect? And Meggin also tossed in a few things about what she was able to say at the time, but, that patrons could expect to enjoy on the evening of Sept 9th at 8pm. Ticket info can be found here: www.pittsfieldplayers.org!

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."

Something wonderful is always happening in Warner, NH and on Thursday we were joined by Katharine Nevins, one of the founding members of Main Street Warner Inc. Warner will be hosting its’ “Summer Jam” this Saturday and early next month Warner will host their annual Fall Foliage Festival. Also on Thursday we got caught up on the local sports scene with Eric Rynston-Lobel of the Concord.

Join Artful Living as we discuss all things musical with Adelyn Nelson, piano extraordinaire! Newly graduated from UNH, Adelyn discusses what music has brought to her life, and how much music has contributed to her life and artistic endeavors.

This week on Facing the Future, we talk to Romina Boccia, Director of Budget and Entitlement Policy for the CATO Institute. Boccia argues in a recent piece that it is time for a new bipartisan commission to take a broad look at the serious fiscal challenges the federal government faces and propose some solutions that would become law directly unless Congress opts out of any of the proposals.

This would include everything from how to reduce massive government healthcare spending to raising new revenue and reforming Social Security and Medicare.

This idea of a commission has been tried in the past, but often Congress fails to implement any of the reasonable and well thought out reforms. Could this time perhaps be different?

Legendary Pro Football writer John Eisenberg has just penned his eleventh book just in time for the start of the NFL season and it’s “Rocket Men: The Black Quarterbacks Who Revolutionized Pro Football”. As Mr. Eisenberg discussed on Wednesday’s show, the book focuses on the stereotyping, institutional racism and denial that Black quarterbacks have faced since the first one, Fritz Pollard, to Super Bowl quarterbacks Patrick Mahomes and Jalen Hurts and what challenges remain for Black players in the NFL.

Every year actors come to New Hampshire to perform at several summer stock theaters. How are they chosen? What’s the process to get here? How many shows do they perform in? What’s the schedules like? How rewarding do the actors feel it is? Kayla Moore is one of those actors and she’s been up in Lincoln, NH at Jean’s Playhouse for the summer of 2023 and all of those topics get addressed. We also happen to tackle some “third rail” theater issues as well and at times the wheels come off the cart as she has me breaking up!
