This will be another program that I make sure I listen to each week.

I’ve caught parts of Roger McGuinn’s show a couple of times, but it doesn’t appear to air on a regular basis and I can’t find a show schedule.

FX’s “Over There” has not been renewed due to poor ratings. That’s too bad. I watched every episode and enjoyed them all. Maybe, it was only popular among us vets.
