These days, Springfield wakes up with Jim and his unique blend of fiery conversation, newsmaking interviews, hard-hitting facts and unbridled opinion. Jim is a multiple winner of the Illinois Broadcasters Association Silver Dome Award and the Illinois Times Readers' Choice Award.


Today's Show: Friday, March 24, 2013

We are No Holds Barred this morning -- your phone calls on whatever you want to discuss.  We will also speak this morning with the head of the local Boy Scouts Council to see what effect the changes in scouting will have here in the Springfield area.

 

And, of course, Butthead of the Week in the 8am hour.

Callerpalooza today!  And there's so much to talk about: a new concealed carry deal is on the table; Governor Pat Quinn gets to decide if you get to drive 70mph on Illinois highways (and by 70, I mean 78); a conservative group sends out an "Urgent Prayer Request" against a sex-ed bill -- which passes anyway, which I guess tells us what God thinks of that conservative group; and Obama <3 drones!

Coming up this morning, an update on the Kidzeum project in downtown Springfield and their hopes for TIF district funds to help with the effort.  We'll also have the details on a leadership "webinar" where some big names can help you develop your leadership skills.  We'll talk about some old favorites, from police department file shredding to the search for a new school superintendent.  And there's a good chance that we will discuss Angelina Jolie's breasts.
