	Actually this is the second time around for Farrell on WNRB. He and his Rocketeering Buddy were doing this exact same show show as a call in under the ownership of Communicom about 2-3 years ago. The show went belly up, and they migrated further south (WADN ?) for a while. You are correct about Glynns involvement. I believe he was the financier for their first WNRB run.

if he acts greatly (in private) , he must be great indeed.
  Hence it has been justly said, that, 'our private deeds,
