Virgil Randolph “Randy” Hall – Co-Host
Webmaster Randy Hall was told at a young age that you don’t discuss god and politics because a lot of people take it seriously enough to result in a fight. He was also told that in America, if you perceive something is wrong, even a small voice in the wilderness can be heard under the right set of circumstances. Discussion of current events and history in debate or for self-education is fun and an adventurous exploration of the world we live in.
Socially liberal, fiscally conservative, common sense American patriot, Libertarian politically, but very interested and empathetic of other peoples’ viewpoints, optimistic but wary of harsh reality – that’s Randy. Passion is a driving force of humanity. Tapping into that passion is talk radio. Riding that wave you can find Randy exploring life itself. Randy’s favorite quote of himself, “If the devil was telling you what you wanted to hear. Would you listen?”
