Good local radio (say it ain't so!), pulled off by one of Greater Boston's 
finest broadcasters. Who could ask for more. I just wish I knew when you were 
on beforehand Bill, since I keep on vowing to catch your show (which I am 
sure is quite thoughtful and thought-provoking) at some point.

Just curious, did WCCM do anything of a similar ilk while trying to reach out 
to its Lowell audience?
