The Dave Glover Show

Dave Glover is something of a local talk show phenomenon. He is on 97.1 from to 4 to 7 PM every weekday. A lot of people love him. A lot of people, as he puts it, "get it."

I don't get it.

Well, not all the way.

I usually cannot listen to all 3 hours of his show, even if I had the time at the radio, which I don't.
A lot of people think he's funny. That's the part I don't get. However, I will say that I think he often does a great job interviewing guests. He has had on some very interesting people, from a woman who thought there were aliens on Mars to a woman who survived the Holocaust.

Sometimes he goes off on terrific rants. I recall the one he did a few years ago after that guy in California sued to have the words "under God" removed from the Pledge of Allegiance.

He does do a lot of varied things through the week, but my favorite is Paranormal Tuesday. He (usually) spends an hour that afternoon on some type of weird topic. Usually this is with a professor in the paranormal at Washington University Dr. Michael Lynch. He hasn't been on lately so they've used other people.

Several weeks ago they had on a guy who believed that aliens in flying saucers are evil angels such as the ones in the Bible. Last night they talked to the editor of SKEPTIC magazine.

And every Halloween they do a special show. Most have taken place at the Lemp Mansion, a local haunted house. Last Halloween they found a farm in southern Illinois that is supposedly haunted. Whether you believe they're doing what they say (and I don't know whether they're deliberately faking some of the stuff or not), it's interesting and fun radio.
