OK. After just discovering this thread and reviewing all that's been said, Stoker is correct (as I've said before) the name of the show is misleading. It used to be Freetalk Live. It used to be that one could call and wait for 5 or so callers and get on to talk about whatever subject one wanted (which made for a very unusual and entertaining show). Now the format is different. The first hour can pretty much be considered dedicated to either a guest or a particular news story that Ian finds compelling. The next hour you will pretty much only hear callers talking about what the news story or guest was talking about (coincidence?). Maybe the last hour some callers will be able to change the subject and talk about what they feel is important, but don't expect them to get much time. If you want to get some time on the air, just call praising the "activism" in Keene or boobies or weed. (Hey, I don't have anything against any of those subjects, but it's getting REAL boring and predictable).
