WFAN adds its sports and talk programming to the streaming mix Tuesday, April 11. The streaming officially begins with a special internet-only Mike and the Mad Dog show for Tuesday afternoon at 3:00pm est.

The FAN begins its weekday daytime broadcasting with Imus from 5:30 until 10am. Imus is followed each day by Joe Benigno. Other regulars include Steve Somers, Mike and the Mad Dog, Tony Paige, Kevin Burkhardt, Evan Roberts and Chris Carlin. Weekends offer Steve Somers, Mark Malusis, Bob Salter, Ed Randall, Ed Coleman, Richard Neer and Ann Liguori. Detailed bios are provided on the site for all the FAN personalities.

Much of the scheduling varies with live sports coverage, most of which cannot be streamed. You can go right to their schedule page to see the current weeks programming. Oh, and the stream sounds great. :)

Feeling “bent” or just want another way to get tanked, then ScubaRadio may be just the answer. Want tips on proper use of the diver peeing flag or have a hankering for some safety sausage, then you should buddy up with your radio or computer and listen to ScubaRadio.

Now on the Saturday schedule live at 3pm est., this nearly ten-year-old show is heard by about half a million people a week. Join Greg the divemaster as he reports from dive events throughout the country. Last week’s show included an interview about wreck diving in Michigan – winter wreck diving in Michigan – chopping first through 15 inches of ice kind of winter diving. And you might have thought chainsaws were not essential dive equipment.

After following that story with an ad for diving in the Bahamas (more my kind of weather) it was back north to a report from Alaska about whales stalking fishing boats to rob their long lines. It seems fishing boat engines are now a whale siren for free eats, maybe a sort of revenge for hunts of the past.

The show’s website scubaradio.com includes a listening archive of past shows so you really can listen anytime. Whether you dive or never get your feet wet, the show offers some cool listening, sometimes icy cool.

Heard about these on Tom Gresham’s Gun Talk. Now these beat the hell out of the primitive block of wood and nail contraptions I used years ago. Gresham’s right, these are a really cool gift anytime.

The manufacturer was talking about how the state of Kaleefornya won’t let him sell at hobby shows because after all these are “guns.” And naturally he gets some interesting reactions from the politically correct types elsewhere and is sometimes even asked to pack up and leave shows much to the consternation of the customers. But he still manages to sell “thousands” of these beauties to real Americans.

Lets see, should I order one of those 50 Caliber pistols or go for the AK-47 or M-16? Ammo (rubber bands) for the 50 are about half the cost of bands, I mean ammo, for the rifles. However this ammo can be fired over and over and over. I’ll need some quality spinning targets and I already have safety glasses, although I don’t recall the Duke ever wearing safety glasses.
