Jim Rowen on Radio Alternatives

Last week Jim Rowen noted that there is some good listening when dialing in, More On Milwaukee Talk Radio--The Good, The Bad, The Ugly. Rowen's point being that there is some damn good stuff out there for those who do not want the latest from the conservative talking heads:

Then I went up the dial farther to WMCS, and there was Joel (McNally, AM 1290)  interviewing Prince Fielder. Live by phone from Houston. And at some length.

This is when talk radio is at its best: Finding something that the community is indeed talking about - - in this case, the Milwaukee Brewers' pennant run and best baseball in these parts for a quarter-century - - and letting the guest actually talk.

Another option for that trip into Milwaukee: Spend as little time on the interstate as possible. Some of the county roads are still pretty pleasant, and the ride back and forth can be contemplative instead of high-speed dodge-'em car follies.

And imagine if the high-speed rail line opens.
