Podcast NYC: Pop Culture Rant #36

It's absolute madness this week on the PCR. I'm roadcasting as I drive to work so I can pay the damn bills. Things get pretty interesting as I:

• Rant about my neighbors
• Talk about my evacuation from Hurricane Rita
• Listen to a few minutes of Howard Stern
• Rock out to Billy Idol on Jack FM
  
• Bitch about the state of FM radio
• Revel in the celebrity screwups of Renee Zellweger and Jamie Lynn Sigler-Discala
• And beg for your donations

Podcast NYC: Pop Culture Rant #35

This week's focus will be the Aftermath of Hurricane Katrina. I'll be talking about the myths spread in the days after the disaster, celebrities, and the media's failure to cover the full story. It's a long one, so grab a cup of coffee and get ready for some action.

Podcast NYC: Pop Culture Rant #34

MAYDAY! The city of New Orleans, Louisiana has sunk and several cities on the Gulf Coast have been demolished. Several hundred thousand people are refugees and it can actually get worse over the next few days. I wish it was a joke or an exaggeration but it isn't. Hurricane Katrina cut through a large swath of the Gulf Coast of the Unites States like a 145 mile per hour buzzsaw. The devasation is massive and now levee breaches in the city of New Orleans have made a bad situation much worse. Now is not the time for political sniping and ridiculous finger pointing. It's time to get off of our butts and help any way we can. I'm urging people to donate money to the American Red Cross fund for Hurricane 2005 Relief. Listen for more details on the effects and aftermath of what is turning out to be the worst natural disaster in U.S. history.
