Back in early 1991, Radio New York International made the bold move of providing a 7 day per week broadcast schedule. I took Friday nights, naming them the Friday follies, and Tina agreed to help with the RNI Information news segment.
This program was somewhat unusual. It was done live, and instead of doing a 5 minute news segment over the phone, Tina was able to join me in Randi's Flushing studio that evening. It quite by accident turned into our version of Howard and Robin doing the news for an hour, but it was definitely done in Dan and Tina style. Tina had a lot of airtime and used it well. The discussion took the audience through sex, rape, culture, and strange crimes
of passion. NYC crime in the days before Giuliani, Bloomberg and Kelly was a topic, as were the
price of luxuries and taxes disguised as user fees and tolls.
What is also unusual is that this was part of the brief 5 evening per week broadcast stint done via the facilities of WRNO in New Orelans, LA. I was very happy to find this recording and be able to share it. The date appears to be Friday March 22, 1991 at 9 PM Eastern (0200 UTC Saturday) based upon the release of the Supreme Court decision that week.
At about halfway through the program, Randi is featured in a spot which announced the complete RNI broadcast schedule:
Sunday @ 0200 via WWCR, Nashville
Monday - Friday @ 0200 via WRNO, New Orelans
Saturday - Radio for Peace International, Costa Rica @ 2230 and 0500
Times are UTC but in all instances except the 2230 RFPI transmission, the UTC days were actually the next day. RNI could never get UTC quite right. But on the web, anytime is party time, so listen here whenever you want.
