The John Batchelor Show
The man is an intellectual which I am not.
His radio show runs from 9pm to 1am EST five days a week on 770 WABC.
Worth checking out no matter what you may think of me.

770 WABC
If you have Roku, add the iHeartRadio channel and you can get it.

You've sure fooled ME! You might be the most well-read guy that I've ever met.

Thank you Sir, but I really can't take any credit for it.
My Father made me everything I am, almost too great to mention.
We'll never know how much he did for all of us.

I've listened to The John Batchelor show since before there was a show!
The show has its roots in the election season of Bush-v-Gore. At first it was a brief 15 minutes or so segment on Bloomberg 1130 AM in NYC, 'Batchelor and Alexander', talking about politics and the campaign. Very soon after the election, Batchelor and Paul Alexander had their own longer show on WABC in NYC.
Alexander left after a couple of years and John has been solo ever since. Now, of course, it is syndicated nationally, thank goodness.
Thanks to his show, I learned more about the Middle East, China and international politics in general, than all the years wasted watching the TV political Talk Shows and reading The New York Times, on Sunday. Really.
Regardless of one politics, if one cannot learn from people such as Jeb Babbin, Victor David Hanson, Gordon Chang, Stephen Cohen --many were little-known 15+ years ago-- and John himself, then The John Batchelor Show simply isn't for you.

But you KEEP ON mentioning in MULTIPLE threads...you've studied XXX or stuff or what-ever...
So we'd ACTUALLY like know WHAT....instead of implying or intimating or reading your mind to find out....
After all...it could/should be useful...you KEEP telling many us TO WATCH OUT or BE CAREFUL...again...of what?...love to know...
Straightforward questions...much respect granted if answered THAT way..
Ps...am going to take your suggestion and listen to him at least once...thanks for that...always wanting to hear different takes on stuff...

That's fine.
All I did was attend and graduate with a degree in Economics from the University of Pennsylvania.
My Father and Uncle both graduated from Princeton.
Another one of my Uncles graduated from Penn Law and his wife (my Aunt Catherine) from the University with a Fine Arts Degree.

Yep.
Pretty sure I need to change my pants after pissing myself.
By the way, I studied pants-pissing and am well read on the subject.

Well I did, so get used to it.
I had some help along the way but who didn't?
I've heard the arguments about the Ivy League meaning nothing coming mostly from those who didn't go there.

I'll take that under consideration PA, but seriously, I have as much of a sense of humor as the next guy. I'm not trying to get banned from here.
