This week, in honor of food and all things Thanksgiving, we had chef Chad Blackwelder, owner of Bella Bistro in downtown Sanford, as our guest. And a great guest he was.
Also this week:
• Thanksgiving tradition talk
• Christmas parade talk
• Mullet talk
A familiar guest was in studio this week — my wife Jennifer, who’s also the marketing director for the Sanford Area Chamber of Commerce. The Chamber is hosting the Sanford Christmas Parade this Sunday at 2:30 p.m. in downtown Sanford.
Also this week:
• Snow talk — Sanford had snow this week, and it’s getting even colder.
• Lee County and the “Lee”conomy … ugh, can’t believe I typed that.
• Dasa spicey meataballa
• Parade talk
• News of the wierd
• Much, much more …

It’s amazing … every week, a new episode of The Rant magically appears.
This week, our guest was Alexandra Reid, the Sanford woman who proposed a chicken ordinance this year to the City of Sanford and was defeated. She talks about the process, open government and her future plans.
Please forgive the minute of “Complicated” that begins this Podcast.
Also this week:
• Life without Gordon (off sick)
• Jon has a new puppy … and he finally pays for all the time he made fun of Billy’s dog ownership status
• Gun sales talk
• Much much more
In case you were curious … yes, the election was the big topic of today’s episode of The Rant.
We talk Obama and the local elections and even found time to add a few new features: Gordo’s Corner and Jon’s Rant.
Also today, Billy and Gordon announce their write-in campaigns for the 2009 mayoral race in Sanford and Billy signs an agreement to never grade the performance of The Rant on the air.
Hoo-rah.
We're not longer a radio show. We're a podcast now. Thanks, guh'ment!
About The Rant
Born from a need to brainwash Central North Carolina with subliminal urgings to drink more Cheerwine, The Rant was born on June 18, 2008, much to the chagrin of roustabouts and lolly-gaggers everywhere.
