Jerry Waters finds new life as podcaster
by Bill Lynch for the Gazette
When radio talk show host Jerry Waters was unceremoniously dropped from the airwaves of Bristol Broadcasting’s WVTS-AM in March, he wasn’t ready to call it quits. A familiar voice on the Charleston airwaves for years, he still had fans and people who wanted to hear what he had to say.
Sitting at a table in Taylor Books, one of his new hangouts, the fire-breathing commentator and conservative said, “I can’t stand not being part of the community. I can’t stand not being a voice in Charleston.â€

Although I never listened to your show, I applaud your efforts.
No one in the media in this area has really embraced this kind of technology before. I wish more did. I think a lot of radio and TV people are missing the boat.
ESPN does a GREAT job with TV, radio, and PodCenter...not just highlights or "best of" stuff, but a lot of original programming and podcasts.

...and, of course, let's make our semi-regular announcement that Mark has not been banned, his account still works fine, and he is free to post anytime.
Don't let anybody -- especially him -- tell anyone any different.

They both post stories about themselves.
Yeah, but Jerry's are interesting and entertaining!
On the other hand, so are Mark's.....they're just a different kind of "interesting" and "entertaining."
"I don't know the same things you don't know."
"Yes, you do; you just won't admit it!"
"Yeeee...it looks like a 'Belt Buckle & Ball Cap' convention in here......"

If you want true entertainment, you need to check out http://grr.podomatic.com . And, no he did not have anything to do with me posting the address. I actually went to him and asked permission. I really dig the "old" news as well.
