THIS WEEKEND: Our new CONK! Weekend podcast is up, and the guys talk about the farce that is January 6th and the farce that has become Covid. And Tim Conaway explains to Jim and Hank that, no, Antifa probably doesn’t have an actual “riot manual”….

AND: Speaking of Conaway, he has a new piece up on his blog. Something about people running away from the cops on TV shows. A welcome respite from depressing politics, we say.

COMING MONDAY:

CONK! News returns to live daily broadcasting on BlogTalkRadio: We’d like to thank all of you for your kind emails and voicemails urging us to get back to this. In October we tried a live daily show at 8 PM at night. That worked out great for you listeners… but not for us. So we started doing CONK! Happy Hour on Wednesdays only, live at 4 PM Central.

We’re happy to announce that starting on Monday, January 10th, we’ll be doing the Happy Hour live on BlogTalkRadio four days a week, at the same time: 5 PM Eastern / 4 PM Central / 2 PM Pacific. It’ll be at least one hour, but up to two if we get enough callers – and you can call in and talk about anything, at 516-418-5472.

Please give us a listen. But if you miss the live show, the archives will be posted the next morning as a podcast – called CONK! After Hours – in our main CONK! News podcast feed. So if you’re already subscribed to that (everywhere you get your podcasts!), you’ll get the repeat of our live shows as well. Once again, it’s a perfect CONK! world….
