It’s kinda deep… kinda eeewe… kinda sad… kinda interesting…

The article, summarized:

  • Dawson McAllister Live is a Christian-based radio call-in show out of Spring Hill, Tennessee.
  • The show’s host, Dawson McAllister, is an ordained Southern Baptist minister who has worked with teenagers for 37 years.
  • On the air, he offers advice and “someone to talk to” to 250,000 young people under the age of 25 every week. Another 250,000 adults also tune in. 
  • While his call-in show is among the most popular Christian radio shows in the country — and is broadcast from downtown Spring Hill — it doesn’t air in the Nashville market.

    Me And Talk Radio
    I like talk radio. In fact that was one of the few drawbacks of moving to Nashville for me… there wasn’t any good, INTELLIGENT talk radio! For real.

    Oh sure, there’s plenty of “political” and “sports” talk radio programming around here, but that’s not what I’m after. I’m into trivial facts, current events, and things like that.

    You know… light, upbeat and FUN stuff, as opposed to heated and heavy discussions. (Why add more negativity into your life???)

    I like to be educated and informed in a casual kind of way — at my own pace — rather than having it drilled into my head via talk radio hosts (and their callers) who are on a one-way mission to prove a point. I find that there are very few “open-minded” people participating in that form of talk radio.

    My all-time favorite talk radio station is 104.1 WTKS in Orlando. Now, if all major markets could come up with talk radio programming like that… they’d be onto something!
