Oh, baby, welcome to it.

It is the last day of January, 2025, already one month into the Trump era, part two, electric boogaloo.

I'm Derek Hunter, and this is the Derek Hunter podcast.

Appreciate you listening, download, and share and telling a friend and all that good stuff.

Thank you very much for that.

And thanks, especially to the people who go to patreon.com slash Derek Hunter podcast and support the program.

A bunch of emails.

Hey, you're not on the radio.

What happened?

Look, the station decided to go into a different direction.

They wanted a free show.

It's weird because we doubled the ratings under my tutelage, but yeah, the ratings

came out the day after they let me go, which is fine. It's a very small station, very small

company. The business model and radio seems to be tiny companies try and get the attention

of big companies to buy them.

So everybody can make money selling out.

There's not too much of an effort being profitable, seemingly.

But they can't operate at a deficit.

And when nobody's selling anything, you got to get rid of the shows that you do pay for. And that was me.

So what are you going to do? Um, what was it? Yeah, you don't have to pay for syndicated shows,

by the way. That's why they're everywhere. We just get them for free and you can sell ads on

half the commercial times. Like, oh, all right. Well, there you go.
