Where are the 7-19 podcasts?
Will the Saturday podcasts always be uploaded as well as the Sunday ones?
Thanks!
Dear JB; Where are the podcasts?Please put them up asap,Thank You.
Dear JB; Thought you'd enjoy this exerpt from
The American Thinker";a fella named Schwartz wrote it.

"You're Peggy Noonan and you're jealous. But it's not the normal kind of jealous, the kind reserved for girlfriends who can squeeze into size 2 jeans. No, it's the kind of jealous that hurts, that grabs your gut and twists, that has you howling with rage into your pillow in the middle of the night, screaming "It's not fair" like a two-year-old denied another piece of cake. It is Sarah Palin jealous...and it is consuming you"......
I highly recommend going to this website and perusing this rather enjoyable article.
(I dare say the late Jean Shepherd would have enjoyed it, Jean abhorred academic snobs and "phonies")
Excelsior!
Thanks for posting the podcasts JB. That 2nd hour of the Sat 7-18 show was great. Congratulations and thanks again.
At present only seeing "Hour 3" of podcasts for Sunday 7/19 show. Where are hours 1 and 2? It's great that there is now a Saturday show as well. JBS is now on for nearly as many hours as it was in "the old days". Missed recording the internet stream for 7/19 this week, though, so eagerly anticipating it being posted here. Thanks.
Hey, you've got to promote this better. I missed the Saturday show because I didn't know about it. No one said anything during the show itself. I just heard Curtis Sliwa say JB was on Saturday nights as well. That's great news, but I wish it had been promoted more!! I'm on the Internet catching all of the hours of the show. JB is an iron man of broadcasting!
Hate to sound like a nudge but could the site administrator please find the time to post hours 1 & 2 from this past sundays show.
I keep getting a server error on the third hour of Sunday July 19th. Also when will the other two hours be on line for to download?
Thanks for notes: All the hours to be found on WABC site for podcasts for me, starting last weekend. We will adjust to this phenomenon as we go forward. Most everything is changing. Cheers J
Thank you, sir. Things seem to be moving fast for you. Any chance of you going seven days/nights a week? Just kidding! For global information you`re my hero! Keep up the phenomenal work.
Just bringing to the Webmaster's attention that the mp3 down-loads of the Sunday, July 19th John Batchelor Show are in HTML (jbs_090719b.htm) and not audiable mp3 format. Any way of correcting this? Thanks. Really lookforward to the show and the information that is presented in such an all inclusive -- written schedule along with the audio -- manner. Duane
