SPECIAL PODCAST

Today's very special broadcast and podcast consists of 22 listeners from Ocala, Florida who were each given two minutes to be on the air to answer the question, "What do you want from the next President of The United States?"

The idea to do this comes from the observation that the listeners to WOCA, which is a small radio station in Ocala, Florida, seem to be concerned about issues that are not being addressed by the Presidential Candidates or even the mainstream media.

Ocala is a very diverse and eclectic population and, therefore, it would appear that the opinions of these listeners represent a cross-section of the country as a whole.

Thank-you to the following listeners who participated in this show:

Dennis Morgan
Jeannine Rodgers
Gary Schor
Merv Leckbee
Liz Penna
Roy Carmichael
John Lovill
Leonard Barriner Sr.
Ray Judd
Floyd S. "Sonny" Muckey III
Jo Laurie Penrose
Fred Kahler
Rabbi Sam Berman
Ray Rice
Marti Lyle
Mike Sizemore
Pastor Snyder
Peter Palermo
Brad Nimmo
Dick Gray
Louis Monaco
Robin MacBlane

Thank-you to all participants.
