Newsom to Become Radio Star
SF Weekly's Andy Wright has word that Gavin Newsom's radio show, cleverly titled "The Gavin Newsom Show," will break its hymen this coming Saturday at high noon. Eeeee! And it all goes down on, sigh, Green 960AM. (Really? Green 960AM? How very goddamn annoying. Fucking Christ. This whole "green" nonsense must die a violent, brutal, very public and humiliating death.) He joins the eco-friendly station, which already features such on-air talent as Stephanie Miller, Thom Hartmann, Ed Schultz, and Angie Coiro.
We're not exactly sure what Newsom will prattle on and on about every week, but we do know it'll be done sexily. According to the show's site, Newsom will be "on his own" with "no rules," each episode promising "local personalities, newsmakers, and cultural icons, in a relaxed, intimate conversational format; and live phone calls as well." (SFist looks forward to the many, many offers to appear on the show!)
Stay tuned for a review of the first show, which, again, happens this Saturday at noon. Oh, and for those of you who are not our great-grandparents, you can listen to the show online, too.

Do people even own radios anymore? I mean besides the one that is in their earthquake kit? I doubt I'll be breaking mine out to listen to gravely voiced Gavin.
The Whitest man with the Blackest voice! I AM SOO EXCITED!
not really.
Rudy Giuliani's radio show was effing awesome. I have high hopes. I think it'll be a dependable fount of cringe-worthy material.
Since when did "green" start meaning things that have nothing whatsoever to do with smoking weed?
On radio, how will anyone know how his hair looks?
bodegaselkie-- hopefully he'll have a Robin type producer who will give hair updates.
Now, if he had Daly as a debut guest ...
Viva Arbitron!
So Gavin you claim to be so green... Why have the majority of taxi's run on natural gas in Las Vegas since 2000. So why haven't they changed with the times. Ahh next caller. Gavin so when google offered free wi-fi why did it stop. Was it because ATT was willing to pay a large sum and in turn slowly jack up prices? Ahh next question I am making out with my close political partners wife while only she is doing illegal drugs.
I sure hope he takes live callers. BaBaBooey everybody!
oh god, daly MUST be a guest on the show. i demand it. seriously. and at the very least, chris should call in. ratings gold, folks.
I say if the talk show doesn't work out, give him a top 40 countdown, Casey Kasem style.
Does this mean he's now vulnerable to death by video?
This guy will do anything for the spotlight. Any bets on him appearing in a D list movie with number 2 wife?
His voice is like nails on a chalkboard and he will be as annoying as Hooman on Alice.:(
