Next Big Thing - Week 16
I'm back from a quick but great five days in Chicago for a very nice wedding. Short ceremony, fabulous dinner, open bar, need I say more? Actually, I do, for the couple deserved as much and my wife and I wish them all the best.
Now, to old business, week 16 of KSTP's "The Next Big Thing" series Sundays from 2pm-4pm. This was Father's Day. FYI, I got a Little Giant ladder so I can unclog the second story gutters!
Today we heard "The Straight Scoop" from Brad Carlson and Greg Bittner (sic?), aka "two straight guys who love their wives."
It being Fathers Day, they were of course obliged to cover same, which they did, and did well. The second feature was a phone interview with the blogger behind ProtestWarrier.com, a self-described arsenal of information to turn back the Liberals. This, too, went fairly well.
And since they gave no clue as to being professionals, I hereby award them an A. I normally find the co-host concept a difficult one to accept in radio, but they balanced each other well, and seemed to always remember we were there, too.
It wasn't Boone & Erickson, but it was a great debut performance.

Wow, thanks so much for the stellar review! I felt Greg and I did well and our families told us as much. However, bless their hearts, family members tend to be a bit biased. Whatever the case, Greg &I achieved our main objective going in: Just have fun!!
I told many friends and family of your blog, since you are the only weekly independent reviewer of "The Next Big Thing", as far as I know. I don't know if you have a counter of the hits to your blog but I imagine there were quite a few this past week.
Thanks again for your ringing endorsement!
