WKXL - New Hampshire Talk Radio

Former USA Today / current Editorial Board Columnist and worldwide Twitter star Jason Sattler (known online as @LOLGOP) joins for a massive rundown of the most burning questions in politics heading into the midterms.

Borrowing from podcast legends Bill Simmons and Zack Lowe, Matt and Jason ask 15 big "are we sure" questions like, "Are we sure that Democrats aren’t missing golden opportunities in the North Carolina and Ohio Senate races?" "Are we sure that the Herschel Walker scandal is even in the top five of Republican hypocrisy scandals in the last 20 years?" "Are we sure we won’t have a constitutional crisis in this election?" And "Are we sure that we’ve seen the biggest October Surprise come out yet?" Go to The Takedown YouTube channel for the full episode on video.

Ken Cail interviews Kitty Rae the OFFICIAL “Flick Chick,” and Tom Raffio, President & CEO of Northeast Delta Dental. Tanya Frost also joins the show to talk about an upcoming Boys & Girls Club event on October 18th called, "Taste of New Hampshire."

We are proud to say that Beyond Politics just won an award from the New Hampshire Association of Broadcasters for outstanding Feature Story, so we are re-issuing that interview. One night, New Hampshire Supreme Court Chief Justice Justice Broderick awoke to find himself in the ICU. He had been attacked by his son. The story made national news. But it was only after the cameras left that the real story begins.

Since that day, Justice Broderick has been on a journey of discovery and leadership on mental health in America. He’s working to improve understanding and awareness of mental illness in order to get rid of some of the myths, encourage discussion and treatment, and begin to change the unfair and shameful culture that surrounds mental health in America. Today on Beyond Politics, a remarkable story of health, struggle, recovery, and hope, and a look at the reality of one of America's greatest and least understood challenges.

On today's episode of 'Cail & Company LIVE' we welcome Carol Lawrence-Erickson, the owner and president of the Red Arrow Diner! They are celebrating their 100th anniversary on October 15th in Manchester, NH.

The panel looks at the big economic news, including the Saudi oil production cut and the return of a potential railroad workers strike, and asks how much it will matter on election day.

Also, is the Herschel Walker scandal a political nothingburger, why are Republicans hitting the crime angle so hard, and Biden finally passes a "green new deal."

This Week on Facing the Future, we check in with Bill Hoagland, Senior Vice President of the Washington DC based Bipartisan Policy Center for a situational awareness update on the growing national debt. It just passed the $31 Trillion mark and with interest rates going up to combat inflation, that debt has become much more expensive to carry. Plus, we'll look at a complicated Social Security Proposal that's somewhat popular but a bad idea.

Ken interviews Sam Hammerman, a singer, songwriter and multi-instrumentalist. Sam Hammerman is also an artist with NH Music Collective.

Paul speaks with Karen Braz, award-winning director of the Concord Community Players' production of The Wind in The Willows.

Quitting gets a bad rap. But the thing is, we know from psychological research, behavioral economics, and the professionals who help top business leaders to make decisions that actually, we should be doing a lot more of it, and a lot sooner. In fact, most us stick with losing propositions far too long, and a lot of the time the smartest decision is to make s strategic decision to focus on something else. So why don't we? And can we learn to be better judges of when to throw in the towel?

Our guest, Annie Duke, is well known to anyone who got caught up in the poker boom of the mid 2000s as one of the top professionals in the game, but over a decade ago she quit, and now she’s a bestselling author, a corporate speaker, and consultant on decision-making, as well as Special Partner focused on Decision Science at First Round Capital Partners, a seed stage venture fund. Her newest book is Quit: The Power of Knowing When to Walk Away. For our WKXL radio listeners she’s also a Concord New Hampshire native.

On today's episode of "Cail & Company LIVE," Ken interviews Rick Santos, the head coach for the New Hampshire Wildcats football team and Ellen Groh, the 2022 "Citizen of the Year" Award Winner and Executive Director for the Concord Coalition To End Homelessness.
