KCMO Talk Radio Program Director Pete Mundo is scheduled to host the station’s 4th “Politics and a Pint” event in Downtown Kansas City next week. 

According to a news release, the event will feature Eric Greitens, the former governor of Missouri now running for U.S. Senate. Greitens and Mundo will have an opportunity to dig into some of the most pressing issues facing Missourians.  

“Politics and a Pint has become a destination event for Missouri and Kansas politicians as they get a chance to meet intimately with voters, while my long-form Q and A with our guests lets us, deep dive into the biggest issues and showcase their personality in ways that we can’t during on-air interviews,” Mundo told Barrett News Media. 

Greitans has been in the headlines lately for a controversial campaign video he released. In the video, he reportedly said that he would hunt members of the Republican party. According to the Kansas City Star, two members of Congress have called on the Department of Justice to investigate Greitans. 

During “Politics and a Pint,” a live audience will get a chance to ask questions. The event will take place Monday, July 25, 2022, at the Jewel KC Event Space. To learn more, click here.

SiriusXM radio host Howard Stern told “Morning Joe’s” Joe Scarborough and Willie Geist in an extensive interview that MSNBC is the network for him regarding cable news consumption. 

Stern stated that he’s a major fan of “Morning Joe” and went the extra mile to say that he and co-host Joe Scarborough share the same political idealogy.

“I watch you guys every morning,” Stern said (h/t Mediaite). “I really enjoy the show. Oddly, I agree politically with almost everything Joe says. I don’t think there’s much difference there.”

The radio host thanked MSNBC for providing him with what he loves: 24/7 news. Additionally, Stern offered a shoutout to network host Symone Sanders and stated he’s no fan of Dateline repeats.

“By the way, I want to give a shoutout to MSNBC,” Stern added. “Thank God you don’t play the old Datelines anymore on the weekends. I like news. I watch this channel exclusively for news. I tune out on the weekend. 

“It’s like all news stuff. I’m watching old Datelines. I like when you guys are onI like news 24/7, and now I find I’m getting it. I get Symone on the weekend. Big fan of hers. Symone coming on strong. What can I tell you? I know the whole lineup.”

Charges against John DePetro have been dismissed as the radio host faced a trespassing charge related to an incident over the summer during a Monday court hearing.

DePetro was arrested in mid-August outside a home on Staples Avenue in Warwick.

Police searched the house several months earlier as part of an investigation into the disappearance of Charlotte Lester, who has been missing for six months.

“I respect our justice system and respect law enforcement, specifically the Warwick PD,” DePetro said on Twitter. “The search for Charlotte Lester continues as I resume efforts searching for answers into her disappearance and holding Mark Perkins accountable for his actions against myself and Ladybug.”

The man who lives there, Mark Perkins, was also arrested the following day after he allegedly charged at DePetro with a lawnmower while DePetro was live-streaming. 

Unlike DePetro, who had his charges dismissed, Perkins still faces an assault charge, according to court records.

Champlin Broadcasting Conservative Talk The Eagle 96.9 KQOB Enid/Oklahoma City and 1640 KZLS Enid will look a little different for its listeners as the station has rebranded.

The station features a syndicated lineup, including Hugh Hewitt, Brian Kilmeade, Dan Bongino, Mike Gallagher, Joe Pags, and Bill O’Reilly. Furthermore, with the rebrand possibly comes a new addition.
