Allow me to Introduce myself

Hello to all of you out in NQ land. Allow me to introduce myself.
For those of you who log on every Tuesday night and listen to the Warrior’s show, I am the Warrior’s friend and former NY radio colleague Jay. I have appeared on his show weekly over the past few months discussing the topics of the day and giving my opinions or just asking questions that have not been asked.
After last week’s show, I had a chance to speak to Susan and she made me an offer I could not refuse…so…going forward the Warrior will be known as the Norman Lear of NQ Radio and there is now a “spin-off” of his show.
Starting Wednesday January 7th, 2009 at 9pm Eastern Time (6pm for those of you out on the left coast), I will be hosting a new show on NQ Radio, “No Topic Taboo…Everything Else with Jay”. Now this show is going to be a little different for the NQ audience. As Susan and I discussed, the topic matters to be dealt with we decided that everything is game: news and current events, politics, sports and the entertainment world will all be open for discussion. I may come in with a game plan for the evening but you the NQ listener will drive the show.
Some of the topics that might come up in the first month or show of the show include, The BCS Championship game which is the night after my debut show (and watch this space for a future blog on how I feel on the whole BCS/No football playoff issue), the NFL Playoffs, the Super Bowl and the Super Bowl ads. (What will happen to them with everything going on in this economy? Months ago GM said they were pulling out before they asked for the cash. Who will be there and who else won’t???), the inauguration and all of the events around it, The Golden Globe Awards and award shows in general and anything else that might pop up. But as I said as much as I may have a game plan this show is going to be driven by you, the NQ listener. So don’t be afraid to pop us on and take me for a left turn. And yes I am working on some guests (calling the Warrior..calling the Warrior). Some will be regulars here on NQ and others I will be keeping under wraps for now.
I would like to thank Larry & Susan for giving me this opportunity. I think we are going to have some fun, provoke a few thoughts and maybe an argument or 2.
I hope you’ll join me on January 7th and make it “appointment on line radio” each week. Stealing a line from a local NY sports radio host….”We can’t do it without you the listener.”
For those of you around the country dealing with the onset of winter weather like I am don’t over do it clearing the snow. Everyone if I don’t get a chance to blog before, have a Happy ______________ (fill in the blank depending on what you celebrate, and have a good rest of the weekend).
I am your humble scribe and NQ radio host and I am out for now.
PS: For those of you who can or wish I urge to support the effort of my close friend the Warrior with the “Capture the Magic” ads here on NQ. Great way to get that ooh and ah from your kids on Christmas morning and help the efforts to “keep the lights on” here at NQ
