wonder why U2 isn't being played in Boise? Probably because it isn't being played in San Diego either. Clear Channel is stupid.

I especially liked this.
"Mr. Alan also used phone calls he had recorded during his live show in San Diego, editing out local references to make them usable in Boise. He typically greets Boise listeners by using names taken from e-mails he gets from Boise, or sometimes from San Diego callers. Then, he puts them in a situation using a real local place drawn from his research. Sometimes he does a bit less, though. After greeting ?Dawn,? who ?is stuck at work today,? he admitted off the air that she was ?somebody I just made up right now.?
Mr. Alan says his voice-tracked shows sound just as good as his live ones, and listeners ?don?t get cheated out.?"
