And I listen to it and will continue to listen to it. But, seriously, I have a pet peeve. I have never heard another program where the people do SO MANY personalized advertisements for various products and/or services around the area. I find that pretty annoying. You hear a voice you are familiar with and you start listening, expecting to be listening to the morning show itself and then you realize you are unwittingly listening to a damn commercial Check it out: I TURN OFF COMMERCIALS. And this means I switch off your program a lot more often than I otherwise would.

I usually pick this magazine up every month--hey, it's free! It usually deems a flip-through, but…read moreI've never been really impressed with the content. It is a nice-looking magazine with a modern design and glossy pages. About half of the magazine is "society pages" of some kind--pictures of "It" people at parties, that kind of thing. Which is fine, but not that interesting unless you are in that circle of people. The rest of the magazine is based on style, fashion, weddings and what is current. The cover is usually a "celebrity" that is from St. Louis or is somehow prominent in the St. Louis area. They have had some decent covers, like Jim Edmonds. I have to be honest and say I don't recognize most of the people featured, but it's nice that they keep the focus on St. Louis.

Political columns tend to lean towards "progressive" and "liberal" which I'm not objecting to, just pointing it out. You'll find articles about the local arts and entertainment scene including which performers are coming to town and which venues have new exhibits. As well, which restaurants are offering interesting takes and meals with some quite detailed reviews. I enjoyed reading up and figuring out where I'd be heading for my next fabulous meal. Or even better, seeing if the RFT reviewer agreed with my own review! The newspaper is free and you'll find display copies here and there throughout town.
