I Believe I find myself extraordinarily frustrated with the way things are going in our government right now. I’m sure you do as well. I think we do all and that’s the problem. So from my heart to yours, one human being to another I’d like to tell you what I think as a person, […]
“Pop-Pop” – Remembering Grandfathers and American Heroes on Veterans Day
Robert Hanna was born and raised in Joppa, Maryland on a plot of land that had been in his family since the Revolutionary War.

Back in the Saddle: Maynard Brings Big Talk to Local Radio at WAMD 970 AM
My first week at WAMD is now under my belt. Whew! If you missed it, WAMD is a small AM station, 970am to be exact, that had been a Harco institution for years. To give you the Cliff Notes on it’s history: A few years ago it was bought by a big company and eventually […]
Maynard’s Musings: Smoke ‘Em If You Got ‘Em

Maynard’s Musings: Rouse & Company Revealed – Where Are They Now?
It’s still so flattering that so many people ask about the Rouse & Company Show, which ran from 1989 to 2005 on the legendary WQSR. Not a day goes by that someone doesn’t ask about Steve, Mike, Tom, Kristie or Linda, and some folks were big enough fans to ask about our traffic reporters and […]
Maynard’s Musings: Adam & Eve or Adam & Steve?
I know it’s not local, but I read this recently and it put a burr under my saddle that I need to get out. I’ll apologize ahead of time for sounding a little like a liberal whack job, but to quote the great philosopher Popeye, ”I’ve had all I can stands, ‘cause I can’t stands […]
Maynard’s Musings: Radio Host, Harford Native Arrives To Discuss Ugly Truths
I’ve always been a big fan of The Dagger – great local news with an edge. No matter what technological advancements do to change the way we get as consumers receive our news, the fact is that the way news is gathered will never change: great reporters with open eyes and ears and ready pencils […]
