36. The long days were rough on Ed.

Apr 2013

Prep for his noon start on radio, three hour live show, then dead time between shows. Prep for the 8pm slot, and the hour on TV. He was having Papantonio spell him every week it seemed.
Ed is taping a town hall in Madison, Wisc. on May 2nd, for his first weekend show. He'll probably start on May 4th or 11th.

Chris had a good show tonight. He covered the Reinhart and Rogoff Excel error nicely.
Fugelsang is one I'm going to miss once Current is gone, as Al Jazeera takes over. I have DVR so I can cover both right now. I hope he ends up somewhere as a regular.
