Subject: Love your now-weekly BCR shows
Hi Bart:
I just want to tell you how much I enjoy Bartcop
Radio now that you have gone to weekly releases.
I have always enjoyed BCR, but now, you're
not only "swingin' the hammer," you are also hitting the
nail on the head in a very timely fashion.
Your comments about news anchors in BCR111 are
something that every journalist needs to take to heart.
Yes, why pay some "anchor" $2 million a
year to announce that "We now bring you Story No. 2."
I have a journalism degree, and what you claim
to be an IQ of 64 is a basic understanding of Journalism 101,
which most MSM reporters and pundits do not get.
In my experience, actual reporters who pound a beat love
Bartcop Radio.
After I have listened to the latest BCR on my
car stereo, I pass the CD along to some local news reporters.
Later, when I tell them I have the latest
BCR to give them, their eyes light up. Of course, local reporters
have
to answer to editors and publishers who may not
agree with them. But the reporters love you!
I also share BCR with Protestant clergy, and they
love your BCR shows. A few times in casual conversation
with Protestant clergy I cited your "Benny-the-Rat"
references. These clergy men and women first smirk,
then nod in agreement. Please bear in mind, Bart,
that the radical right-wing Christianistic folks do not
represent the mainstream church people.
This brings me to the second point of this email.
Bart, your BCR has so much substance that you
really do not need any cuss words. I remember back when
Redd Foxx first did Sanford & Son.
Folks wondered how he would ever deliver a sit-com show that could be
aired on the public airwaves. Just a suggestion
-- when you get done with recording a BCR show, perhaps
re-record a second BCR show for general
distribution. We BCR subscribers will love the original with
all the cuss words, but the G-Version could gain
you new audiences.

Not the "Balloon Faced Karl"
Carl, if there was time, we could do a clean version, too.
Years ago, we went "clean" to try and get more subscribers - didn't
work..
