We had to go a half-hour shorter this week because of our “office retreat” Wednesday morning, but that doesn’t mean we couldn’t cram 90 minutes of fun into this week’s episode.
This week, we talk about Jon’s moving into a house formerly owned by an older woman (and the benefits of having a seat in the shower); local headlines; Super Bowl commericals and much, much more.

Snow forced The Rant to delay a day (that’s what we get for broadcasting from a college campus), but we returned for a one-hour show Thursday to discuss Jonathan Owens’ trip to DC for the inauguration, the Oscar nominees and other local headlines.

We have one of our own attending the inauguration of Barack Obama next week, so that was big on our discussion list. We also discussed Temple Theatre, Lee County High School, cold weather, the legacy of George W. Bush and much more.

After a month-long Internet hiatus (and two-week holiday vacation), The Rant is back at you with an hour and a half of radio goodliness today.
Our guests were Temple Theatre artistic director Peggy Taphorn and members of the cast and crew of the newest Temple experience — Hamlet, which begins tonight with a pay-what-you-want show.

Also this week, we discussed:
• Jon and Gordon’s “break-up” and Jon’s attempt at home ownership
• The wind-caused power outage that knocked out the first 7 minutes of our show.
• Items you will find in every college guy’s apartment/dorm.
• More depressing headlines (local and national) dealing with the economy
• The Temple Theatre’s financial troubles.

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.
Hosted by Sanford Herald Editor Billy Liggett, The Rant aims to bring intelligent discussion about issues important to Lee County, North Carolina, mixed with what we believe to be humor. Co-hosts include Herald cohorts Jonathan Owens and Gordon Anderson, who are merely here for their looks.
The Rant airs Wednesdays on 90.5 FM, WDCC in Sanford, NC, on a signal that reaches into Moore, Harnett, Chatham and lower Wake couties in addition to Lee County. The views expressed on the Rant do not represent the views of The Sanford Herald or WDCC FM, just so you know.
