WGOW-FM "Let's Talk Money!"

S

stereolane

Passing through Chattanooga the other day, I found very little interesting radio, until I happened along "Let's Talk Money!" on 102.3 WGOW. All I can say is, what a trainwreck... I thought Dave Ramsey had a perfect show for the "financially clueless" until I had a chance to hear this disaster. I almost drove my truck into a guardrail when the host, who has a very prounced lisp, and questionable grammar skills proclaimed:

"Don't worry about Social Security. They have to fix it. They have no choice. They'll bump it up to 67 and it'll be fixed. Don't lose any sleep over Social Security." The economy is growing. Higher gas prices will be absorbed by consumers because we still need to buy gas. This is much different than 2008" Put everything into your 401K.... WOW!

Whiskey-Tango-Foxtrot??? Sorry bubba, my ninth grade civics teacher explained to the class why social security was broken, near THIRTY YEARS AGO. Social Security cannot, and will not, be "fixed" no matter how often you repeat it on your lousy radio show in Chattanooga. I won't even touch the other proclaimations.

As for the lady on the show, she seems to do little more than agree with the clueless host, although, she doesn't say "hunnert" instead of hundred... I will give her THAT.

If this is what "local radio" has morphed into, I'd rather have syndication. TERRIBLE!
 
There's this show running on WKPT/OPI/KTP now that, from what little I've heard of it, seems similar to this one. I wondered if it was an infomercial for some CD-ROM or whatnot, but I guess it isn't. I still don't know.
 
90% of this country IS "financially clueless", but if that moron is making those claims....wow...pathetic up it to 99%. Sounds like a financial version of the "Rev." T. J. Gra-ham in Nashville. It's pay as you go radio...riveting at worst. Scam at best.
