Anyone ever listened to "Brad & Britt" on WBT Charlotte?

I think that show is a rare liberal radio show in NC much less any southern state. Check out the shows facebook page (the "bk" = show host Brad Krantz) and station page. The show is on afternoon drive time 3-6pm (ET) on WBT 1110/99.3 Charlotte, the local 50 kW blowtorch news/talk station, right after Rush Limbaugh. The few times I've listened to it, when Thom Hartmann was on spring break for a couple weeks earlier this month, I thought it was mildly tolerable and a Stephanie Miller type humorous talk show, but it's a bit too fast paced due to the commercial breaks and every-10-minute traffic reports.

But that was like 1980 and the Charlotte Observer still had "whites only" ads in the real estate section. God I hated that place! They fry fucking ice cream! Like the food wasn't bad enough already.

Brad and Britt were together on WZTK (Burlington) but when Curtis flipped WZTK to a Spanish format, they ended up on WPTF and WSJS - on "ok" AM signals.

Brad and Britt move to Charlotte was a good one IMO. I really can't describe their show as "liberal" but it's not really "conservative" either.
