A few weeks ago I really enjoyed an article about the different ways to commute to work as I'm considering my options with the current gas prices. Then this past week there was a whole Fringe Festival edition of the paper. They always have interesting staff questions of the week and really make a point to have the staff be really visible to the readers. It's a great alternative paper to City Beat and the Enquirer. It picks up where they left off nicely. Also the crossword puzzle is always fun yet a challenge!

I listen to the morning programs several times a week and learn from these discussions - which…read moreoften have point-counterpoint. however, I was absolutely appalled by the discussion pertaining to birds and protecting them. First of all, I love birds and feed them regularly in my yard and offer them fresh water and some habitat opportunities. I also care for fixed, vaccinated stray cats and contrary to the false claims by the bird people, they are NOT the No. 1 cause of massive loss of birds! Studies by the bird conservationists people, debunked long ago by the Humane Society of the United States and many others, continue to surface. "No empirically driven estimate un-owned cat abundance exists for the U.S." (HSUS) "There is no evidence that cat predation harms bird species at the population level, or that cat predation has ever affected the survival of an endangered bird species in the continental U.S. Habitat and sport hunting" have impacted lots of bird species As one bird conservationist noted: There is more bird diversity in Central Park in NYC than in Yellowstone - and aren't there a whole lot more domestic cats in the suburbs than in Yellowstone? Leading scientists from various disciplines note that climate change, habitat destruction and development are the leading causes of species loss. In fact, loss of birds due to cat predation ranks around 10th or so on the list of leading causes. Get it right!! And please present these viewpoints as well!!

I don't really have high praise for radio of any kind - there is just so much out there now that…read moreyou can download as a podcast and listen to on your own time, instead of wasting it on someone blathering on and on or commercial interruption - but WVXU is a solid National Public Radio (NPR) station that hosts a breadth of programming from NPR, PRI, and American Public Media. There are really three public radio stations in town - WVXU, WGUC, and WNKU - and, up until about a year ago, they were all broadcasting some part of the NPR slate. But then WGUC (the University of Cincinnati station) and WVXU (the Xavier station) combined forces, and VXU took over all of the national NPR programming and GUC focused it's efforts on classical. WNKU (Northern Kentucky University's station) then dropped a lot of it's programming that VXU was also airing, and started focusing more of it's efforts on more eclectic offerings and local programming. And that's where WVXU fails - there isn't much local or original programming coming out of Cincinnati Public Radio that provokes any interest - NKU and even WYSO in Yellow Springs have much more dynamic original programming.

Cincinnati may not be New York or Boston or L.A., but it's still a huge sports town with the likes…read moreof the Reds, Bengals, a ton of local college teams, and even the Kelly Cup champion Cincinnati Cyclones in the area. WCKY 1530 Homer: The Sports Animal is the only real sports talk radio station in the area, but there only needs to be one when 1530 is that good. 1530 Homer, the "official home of the Bengals," has a great on-air lineup of talk show hosts during the week, and of course they cover some great games on the weekends, including the Bengals during football season. The on-air talent begins on your morning drive to work with "The Cut Man," Alan Cutler, a long-time Bengals Radio Network host, who is then followed from 9:00 a.m. to Noon by Mo Egger. The Sports Animal then goes national by playing Fox's nationally syndicated program, The Jim Rome Show. From 3-6 and then "reloaded" from 6-7 is Lance McAlister, while Fox broadcasts again take over from 7:00 p.m. until 1:00 a.m. Paid programming until the morning...sorry insomniacs. Now I can't say that I listen to sports radio all the time as I usually prefer jamming to music, but 1530 is great. I've never caught Alan Cutler during the morning, but he's really good when he covers the Bengals before and after games. Mo Egger, meanwhile, is good too and can relate not only to sports fans, but also to the younger generation too with his "hip" interests and personality. Jim Rome from 12-3 is always a winner because, as he would probably say about himself, he is "that good." Lance McAlister, meanwhile, is just awesome. He says he has the best job in the world: getting paid to talk about the teams he grew up with. Lance really knows and understands his local and national sports and has great topics he likes to discuss with listeners, as opposed to simply rambling. The phrase "long time listener" really applies to the Lance McAlister Show as people have listened to him for years. If you don't have the chance to catch him on air too often, he runs a great blog too (as do the other hosts) with any and everything you'd want to know about Cincinnati and national sports, all of the stats you could want and more, and sometimes just great links. If you're a sports lover headed to work in the morning and it's too early to blast your Rihanna CD, definitely turn your radio to 1530 AM. Even better, wind down the day with a dose of the Lance McAlister Show and you won't be disappointed.

WGUC is classical 24/7, and because it is a public radio station, the commercials - well, they simply don't exist.

It has some interesting feature articles from time to time, but not the overall appeal of Cin Weekly or City Beat. A smaller paper, it has at least two business, art, sports, lifestyle, gossip and opinion columns or stories in each issue. The photography is really good, I think. The paper also has events pages and I like the short Q&A of a downtown employee or resident. I think recently they changed it up to feature a male and female each issue.
