message: I added the essay/personal reflection tag today.  The article does read as if it's someone's fond memory of the show.  I was fond of the show myself but this isn't the place for such memories.  The article needs to be rerwritten in encyclopedic manner.  As it stands, there is also far to much made over Harlan Ellison's involvement.  While he did a lot for the show and was a great host, he wasn't the only notable guest.  If more material is added about other hosts and guests, the Ellison material would seem more in proportion.LiPollis 16:53, 28 March 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: Personal reflection

message: At this point I'm not making changes to the text, as I am personally involved and don't want to get into an ego match with folk; especially regarding someone as great as Mike Hodel.  Nevertheless, the iisue about Douglas Adams is not quite correct.  The coup referred to was accomplished first at WBAI on my program, Hour of thew Wolf, about 3 weeks beforehand.  Douglas was making a trour and made a point of going to both Pacifica stations where we had BBC transcription turntables.  (I don't know about KPFK where Mike was at that time, but we used them for broadcasts of "The Goon Show," which we carried since the 60s.  (Coincidentally, Mike was at WBAI in those days.))  We broadcast Hitchhikers about 3 weeks before KPFK did under almost identical circumstances.  Douglas was the guest on my show, just as he sat in on Hour 25.  Sadly, this is all hard to document because was Douglas was doing would have gotten him fired and/.or sued by the BBC, as well as Pacifica.  It was in neither of our Folios (program guides), and airchecks going back to the late 70s/early 80s are hard to come by.
I don't want to get into an editing war here -- I'm not very familiar with Wikipedia protocol, but I know it discourages people who are actively involved in a dispute or bio from making entries.  However, these are the facts as I know them, and for now the Talk Pages seemed to be the place to mention it.

Does that mean "without a continuing storyline", or what? —Tamfang (talk) 08:08, 10 August 2010 (UTC)

message: I'd appreciate someone's inserting dates by key events. I listened to the show regularly for many years but can no longer even recall when the show started and when Mike Hodel died.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.172.211.144 (talk) 18:49, 30 October 2010 (UTC)

message: I'm sure there were multiple factors, but it seems to have been accelerated by disputes with station management over what they perceived as disrespecting the pledge drive... AnonMoos (talk) 08:58, 24 February 2012 (UTC)
