This past week, the Republican Party held its convention in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. It was a well-organized clown car that did not discuss policy but focused on the “claimed” failed policy of the Biden/Harris administration. The pièce de résistance was to be the acceptance speech of Donald J. Trump. It had been reported that after the […]

On July 4th, 1776, the second Continental Congress signed the Declaration of Independence at Pennsylvania State House, in Philadelphia (later renamed Independence Hall). We declared independence from the British monarchical rule. The United States proclaimed itself separate from British rule and on an equal station as other powers of the earth. It was a bold, […]

Which Room Are You In? by Kevin Murphy “Remember, happiness doesn’t depend on who you are or what you have, it depends solely on what you think.” Although the Buddha is often credited with that quote, its origin doesn’t really matter. Few people would dispute its message. So if most people would agree that our […]

Since November 8, 2016 the United States has gotten increasingly fractured. The election of Donald Trump has been a flash point for forming strict divisions. In 2016 we had an election cycle led by a conman, with a history of lying, misleading, misrepresenting and failing to pay subcontractors and workers who gained traction because he […]

In today’s politically charged environment it seems everyone is scrambling for their version of the story. I used the word story to separate it from the truth. Truth is neutral. Truth is based on facts, opinions are driven from the facts, from the truth.  In this past week, former FBI Director, Jim Comey testified in open […]

Scott Pruitt, past Oklahoma Attorney General, a shill for Fossil Fuels, and opponent to any Environmental Legislation or the existence of the EPA has just been appointed Head of the EPA. Although Republicans maneuvered to make this happen it could not have happened without the Yes votes for confirmation from two Democrats,  West Virginia Senator Joe […]

A Trump supporting Facebook friend told Scott Mednick, “We suffered for eight years. Now it’s your turn.” Scott wrote a brilliant response asking how exactly his friend had suffered under Obama: “I am surprised you would wish suffering upon me. That of course is your right, I suppose. I do not wish harm on anyone. […]

In case there was any question about the intent of the Republican Party, or the type of governance we can expect from them. “Treasury nominee Steven Mnuchin told senators in his confirmation hearing that his bank, OneWest, did not use robo-signing, let alone use it to foreclose on massive numbers of mortgages. That was not […]

Regardless of the actions of the U.S. fascist administration I had hope. I had hope because the media was not acting complicit with the lies and disinformation of the administration. I had hope because regular Americans came out in droves to show opposition to the administration on the day after the inauguration. I had hope […]

President Barack Obama was a significantly productive President who persevered in the face of an historical level of obstruction. This summary reported by Rachel Maddow identifies many of the highlights. What is important to note about this report is that the current administration will try to rewrite the truth of what was done. Here is […]

Friday, January 20th, 2017 the Oath of the Presidency will be delivered to the first Fascist Oligarch to be elected President of the United States. He is being managed and facilitated by a fascist band commonly referred to as the Republican Party. With the multiple factors that created this election, the largest fraud was perpetrated […]

As we prepare for the Republican Majority to shove the Trump nominees down our throat as they implement their bloodless coup of the U.S. democratic republic I am tired of the haters. There are three camps of haters – the Republicans who lie almost every time they open their mouths; those who voted for Trump and […]

The Wheel keeps turning. Last night, December 31, 2016 was the last broadcast night of Radio Monterey. In 2017 Radio Monterey will be the podcast site of many of our previous shows, as well as Solarzar Speaks, my personal take on the political discussion of the day. I intend to keep the porch light on […]

The Electoral College is asking people to contact the DOJ and ask that their vote be postponed until they all get a chance to be briefed on the CIA’s hacking case involving the Russian hacking of the DNC in an effort to influence the vote to Donald Trump. Call 1-202-514-2000, press 4, and leave a […]

Jason Apollo Voss, known as the Intuitive Investor; Content Director, at CFA Institute; CEO at Asoapovo Productions Inc. offered these insights this morning: “I believe in compassion before honesty, and my earlier post was the compassion bit. Now a bit of an attempt to increase the honesty…and I fully acknowledge that both political parties SPIN. […]

After Sunday night’s debate, or town hall, or debacle, I can no longer remain silent. Any reasoned, intelligent human being that spent any time justifying, supporting or defending Donald Trump through the Republican primaries, the nomination and the Presidential race has to ask themselves why they allowed their need for partisan politics to allow them […]

In the last year I have listened to the splintering of the American electorate with lines drawn based on which hypocrisy you prefer. There are those who are still sucking on sour grapes over Bernie Sanders not winning the Democratic Nomination.  On the obverse were the Republican apparatchiks who were determined to get in line […]

Listeners have asked if I could balance the audio from the shows to commercials. Every show that comes in is viewed for audio level.  On occasion I don’t properly adjust the audio.  I continue to work on making the listening experience better for everyone. Overall audio has improved; individual show audio still requires more work. […]

Since the beginning of July Progressive Voices has been broadcasting Nicole Sandler and Randi Rhodes. For the last two weeks I’ve adapted the capture of their shows and we are ready to rock and roll with the addition of Nicole Sandler at 2 PM [PST], Monday through Friday’ and Randi Rhodes from 3-5 PM [PST], […]

Starting Today, Monday, July 11, I hope to capture Randi Rhodes and begin broadcasting her, again, on Radio Monterey. As we head into this challenging election cycle it is wonderful to have her voice back to help us be properly informed. I’m keeping my fingers crossed that we will be able to get everything properly […]

We had some unusual activity Saturday, July 9 with the broadcast of Radio Monterey. First, it shifted the kbps from 128 to 24, magically on its own. Next it deleted the streaming encoder file so it never connected to our streaming server in Virginia. It took the team from Slable several hours to get us […]

We did some work today to improve the audio stream. It worked, then we stopped broadcasting. The technicians are trying to identify the source of the problem. I apologize for any inconvenience.

I’m sad. The following post was on my Facebook page:  NAME WITHHELD-ORIGINAL POST  I am very sad today. America has a big black eye on this July 5th. I know Elliot Ness is more legend than fact, but what we really need is an FBI director who is untouchable. At this point, the right thing […]

We have our Cancer Sun and now our New Moon starts the day at 4:01 am Pacific. Since the New Moon is in Cancer we certainly have powerful opportunities for new beginnings in the areas of home and family. A time to cook, clean, redo, expand or just plain do. This is a good time […]

The broadcast audio has seemed more balanced since we boosted the kbps.  Since I don’t listen 100% of the time I appreciate when listeners let me know about the time when the audio may not broadcast well. Interestingly I received an “Anonymous” email, with an “anonymous123456@gmail.com” as the email address. So this person went out […]

Since installing a new Streaming Computer on June 3 I have been chasing a variety of broadcast audio issues.  Today, I noticed the kbps rate in the Stream Overly System was only 24 kbps. This is the lowest it can be. When I purchased Radio Monterey this is the rate it was streaming at that […]

Today marked a major milestone in the operation of Radio Monterey. Over 11 years ago Hal Ginsberg founded and began operation of AM 540 KRXA. There were many shifts and changes with people; hosts and shows. Through it all Hal remained steadfast in his desire to keep progressive voices on air. During the last five […]

I’m frustrated and tired of so much discussion based on people’s opinions that are only based on opinions. In over 40 years working within the Federal Government, both in uniform on assignment to the Department of Defense and as a civilian contractor I have heard many, many, many people declare what they thought should and […]

Recently I’ve enjoyed watching the Amazon Original Series “Alpha House”. This is the story of an ecelectic group of Republican Senators sharing a house in Washington DC. This humorous series, written by Garry Trudeau, starring John Goodman; Clark Johnson; Matt Molloy; Mark Conzuelo with Wanda Sykes, Cynthia Nixon, Penn Jullette and many others coming and […]

Can Sanders do it? Or is Clinton truly inevitable? Bernie Sanders has vowed to fight relentlessly for the 2016 Democratic Party’s nomination up to the convention and, despite the apparent consensus of the media’s talking heads that the campaign is a lost cause, he has held fast to his claim that there is a “narrow […]

Radio Monterey is off air, Monday through Friday, from Midnight to 3 AM (PST) and Midnight to 6 AM (PST) Saturday and Sunday.

Thank you for your patience. And thanks to the support of Hal Ginsberg who kept us streaming Progressive Voices as I worked to get the Streaming System back up and running.

Radio Monterey has switched streaming from Maryland. Local programming will not be broadcast at this time due to a system problem at Radio Monterey. We apologize for the inconvenience. We will restore all programming as soon as possible.

Although this may seem late based on all that occurred in Paris, I’ve been thinking about the issue of terrorism. What is terrorism? Oxford Dictionary defines terrorism as “The use of violence and intimidation in the pursuit of political aims”.  Wikipedia says, “In its broadest sense, terrorism is any act designed to cause terror. In […]

All day today, November 19, we’ve had problems with the audio stream from Progressive Voices, and some shows starting as scheduled.  It is just that time of the year when the best of intentions remain the best of intentions. We are still experiencing issues recording Hal Ginsberg’s Morning Show for later replay, so the show […]

We are making changes to the show schedule.  The work to keep the schedule current and fresh resulted in a change of scheduling for many shows.  Most notable to me is the change of Good Vibrations Radio(r) to Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday from Noon to 1 PM. The show will replay from 5-6 PM on […]

After a month of ups, downs, success, losses and adjustment after adjustment, New Radio Monterey is alive.  We still have some sporadic issues with Progressive Voices, and we are realigning the schedule and shows to reflect our continuing hosts, but at the end of the day we’re alive and well. We’re always on the lookout […]

The move of Radio Monterey had many unexpected twists and turns, including almost complete failure to broadcast Friday afternoon when Progressive Vocies failed to broadcast, then the preloaded shows failed to play and none of it was repairable in the moment because I was working at the Monterey County Fair unable to login to the […]

Starting Monday, August 24 Radio Monterey will move the studio location. During that time we will broadcast the Hal Ginsberg Morning Show and Progressive Voices.

We continue to experience issues with Progressive Voices not streaming their content. We also had some issues with the computer we use to stream Progressive Voices. The combination of both issues resulted in a massive change to our streaming on Monday, August 17.  We apologize for any inconvenience you’re experienced from the Progressive Voices streaming […]

Over the past year I’ve done a lot to keep Radio Monterey operating.  Some of the big things in the beginning was eliminating the silences, stream outages and poor broadcast bandwidth. Hal was in telling me that he didn’t believe I could keep it operating because he couldn’t.  Thank you for that vote of confidence. […]

There has been a lot of discussion recently about the Confederate Flag. Slavery, regardless of how the slaves were treated, is a violation of human rights. There is revisionist history that indicates Northerners had slaves also; however, in most Northern states slavery was not legal. Some are saying the Confederate Flag represents the lineage of the […]

Since taking over Radio Monterey the one constant I’ve faced, just like in life, is change. From the original radio show hosts, to the online only hosts, to the building, shifting infrastructure we have made Radio Monterey a player in the broadcast market. We are shifting again, looking for show hosts who want to share their […]

It was eight years ago that Kyralani and I started Good Vibrations Radio(r). It was one year ago as we prepared to move Good Vibrations Radio(r) to another network that Hal Ginsberg and I made a deal for the sale of Radio Monterey. After nine years of operating KRXA 540 Hal had definite ideas about […]

In this advanced age we can find truth and untruth on the Internet with a few key strokes.  However, as a public figure it is integral to the character of the person to verify through appropriate research the authenticity and origin of the dreck dripping from your mouth. Here are some ‘made up’, ‘false’ quotes […]

Last night I was engaged in a conversation with someone who asked where I got my facts. I told him I listened to Radio Monterey with hosts Hal Ginsberg, Thom Hartman, Bill Press, David Packman. His response was he needed to listen to hear what propaganda I was being fed. To me that response was startling. […]

What a difference a year can make. Last year I was financially flush, singularly focused and executing on my marketing plan. A year later none of that exists.

We can declare success! Since taking over ownership of Radio Monterey in June I have had a journey of replace, repair and rebuild.
