    Portlandia's radio station! This radio station keeps…read morePortland weird. If you listen during the day, it seems that they hand over their microphones to any yahoo or weirdo off the street with really far out ideas. The programmers seem to say to the long-haired barefoot bearded guy yelling at traffic, "Hey, why don't you come in here and preach your rants over the airwaves?!" The news on here seems to be on a purely local and biased basis. But that's okay, it's good to get the local viewpoints on things! It's nice to hear local politicians getting on the air and answering constituents' questions and addressing their concerns. I listen to KBOO over TuneIn online, but mainly tune in at night when they're not doing call in talk radio, and are just spinning the weirdest, most eclectic songs and bands. If you listen to this station long enough in the evenings, you're sure to find out some weird local bands. It seems that they play a lot of local acts and weirder stuff that's all pretty far out there. In all, it seems like this station is like if "Wayne's World" ran a radio station. The station doesn't have advertisements like other radio stations. It's a non-profit community radio station that is listener funded.

    They tend to avoid some facts but basically report the news. Their editorials tend to lean liberal…read moreto center. Since they got rid of the computer generated news voice for their station ( before 6 a.m. ) it's much better. Paul Linnman's editorial today, before 6 a.m. go figure, showed compassion regarding the "refugees" but was far more opinion than fact. The thousands of Central Americans that "spontaneously" marched from there to our border, declining refugee status in Mexico ( remember that Paul?) only to throw rocks and other objects at our border guards, do not have a "right" to see that status in America until they prove so. And , Paul, if a wall is so bad then why doesn't California take theirs down? Whey did Pelosi and Hillary vote for a wall many years ago? Hey, it's just politics and , you are right, no one seems to care who really suffers on either side of the border. I've been a Demoract since 1970 but this current bunch makes me hide my head.

    This is exceptionally hard for me to write since this station incorporates many things that I both…read morelove and hate. Sometimes simultaneously. To begin: talk radio. I hate talk radio. I think I mostly hate it because I think that *I* should have my own talk radio show, and so every minute that I spend being exposed to someone else talking at me just reinforces my lifelong bitterness. To cement the loathing: Dr. Laura (WTF, really?), Mike "Sour Grapes" Huckabee, Dave "Better Than I Deserve" Ramsey, and Rush "Your Terrifyingly Conservative Grandparents Were My Only Fans" Limbaugh. Now that I think about it, I can't believe I'm about to give this godforsaken lineup four stars. Credit it all to a certain Mr. George "I'm Not as Great as Art Bell but I Still Host Coast to Coast" Noory. Oh my god, Coast to Coast AM. Not many people know this, but I credit this show with being at least 80% of the reason I moved to the west coast. Up until now I would have to hope that I woke up in the middle of the night to catch the tiniest sliver of the alien/crystal skull/astral projection-filled goodness of C2C. But no longer! Now I live in the promised land of George Noory lulling me into a psychedlic slumber starting at 10 PM. I've spent many a night listening intently to his show and furiously Googling everything that came up in order to spout off about it later. I probably know more trivia centered on teleportation, parallel realities, and remote viewing than you could ever wrap your head around. Clearly I lead a richer life because of it. I miss Art Bell's callers who who dispppear from the phone line halfway through their account of working in Area 51 and the total radio silence that would follow, but Noory still makes my heart sing with extraterrestrial praises.
