Move Over, Shock Jocks! Iowans Are Taking Back the Talk Radio Airwaves!

by Ed and Lynn Fallon

Dear Friends,


For too long, Iowa’s airwaves have been dominated by Rush Limbaugh, Jan
Mickelson, Steve Deace, Glen Beck and Michael Savage. Well, we have
great news: times are changing!


Beginning Monday, September 21st, we will host our own talk show from
7:00 – 8:00 pm, Monday through Thursday on 98.3 WOW-FM. It’s called THE FALLON FORUM and can be heard from Fort Dodge to Chariton, from
Grinnell to Carroll, and can be live-streamed at www.983wowfm.com. We hope you’ll tune in, and you can join the
conversation at (515) 312-0983.


This is an unprecedented opportunity for those of us concerned about
pressing economic, social and environmental issues. We want to offer
true “talk” radio, as opposed to the “shock” radio dished-up by those
on the far right. In fact, THE FALLON FORUM replaces some of the
airtime currently given to Michael Savage, the guy who recently
recommended making “the construction of mosques illegal in America, and
the speaking of English only in the streets of the United States the
law.”


We’ll kick off the show on Monday with Dolores Huerta. Dolores helped
found the United Farm Workers of America with Cesar Chavez. At 79, she
remains an energetic, outspoken advocate for many important causes,
including marriage equality.


On Tuesday, we’ll dig into Iowa politics.


Zach Mannheimer with The Subjective Theatre Company joins us on
Wednesday to discuss the merger of the artistic and corporate worlds.
We anticipate a spirited exchange on the new sculpture garden set to
open in downtown Des Moines.


On Thursday, we want to hear your thoughts on America’s historic health
care debate . . . providing you keep it civil and based on fact. We’ll
pull the plug on any caller who insists the legislation before Congress
pulls the plug on grandma.


Thanks, and we hope you can join us on the show next week!
