Now, the Red Beret has returned to radio.

Curtis Lewa, guest host the Mark Simone show on 710 W.O.

This is the place that you should be all the time to get your talk radio information, news,

and most importantly, entertainment, because that's what talk radio should be if it's good talk radio.

If it's not entertaining, well, see you later.

And that's, those was your options nowadays.

You have so many options to be able to listen to, look, at, read many, many more than when we were all growing up.

I remember in the wee hours of the morning, I would be listening to a little Sony transistor radio

underneath a pillow in my room in Canarsie, being raised by my father, chest,

merchant semen close to 50 years, my mother, Francesca, dental technician,

and they would sort of patrol the area.

I wonder if I was listening.

You remember the smell from that Sony transistor radio.

I'd be listening to Long John Neville and Candy Jones.

Oh, hey, had me believing that Candy Jones was a CIA agent,

and you could actually dig a hole all the way from Bayonne, New Jersey,

the gateway to the world, down to Peking, Red China there, Mount Chitong.

They actually had you believe in that.

That's great theater of the mine.

Now, a person I never listened to, but it was a fixture here at WOL for years. Gene Shepard.

A lot of people said over the years, wow, you got a lot of Gene Shepard in you.

You could take sort of a story and build a narrative around it and sort of transition us, almost in a time machine, to a date, place, and time different than now.
