This is s special two hour episode featuring the comedy and raucous wisdom of the late great George Carlin. Your host Free D People features some of George Carlin’s finest, funniest and foulest moments. If you are easily offended WARNING EXPLICIT LANGUAGE!!! You can play the pod directly from this blog.
We feel that the loss of George Carlin was the loss of one of America’s greatest free thinkers and outspoken individuals in the history of our country. May we learn from his bravery.
{from Wikipedia}
“George Denis Patrick Carlin (May 12, 1937–June 22, 2008)[19][20] was an American stand-up comedian, actor and author who won four Grammy Awards for his comedy albums.
Carlin was noted for his political insights, his black humor and his observations on language, psychology, religion and on many taboo subjects. Carlin and his “Seven Dirty Words” comedy routine were central to the 1978 U.S. Supreme Court case F.C.C. v. Pacifica Foundation, in which a narrow 5–4 decision by the justices affirmed the government’s right to regulate “indecent” material on the public airwaves.
In the 2000s, Carlin’s stand-up routines focused on the flaws in modern-day America. He often took on contemporary political issues in the United States and satirized the excesses of American culture.
He placed second on the Comedy Central cable television network list of the 10 greatest stand-up comedians, ahead of Lenny Bruce and behind Richard Pryor.[21] He was a frequent performer and guest host on The Tonight Show during the three-decade Johnny Carson era, and was also the first person to host Saturday Night Live.”

Spring is moving in quickly and with it will come the ligtining storms, we have acquired a UPS unit and hopefully it will help with fewer outages. Unfortunately lighting is a killer of modems and computers and we still will have to pull the plug on occasion to protect our servers. We hope you understand when we go off the air but we always try to get back on as soon as possible. That’s it for now, as always we appreciate you tuning in to our stations and podcasts.
Just last week CFRDOTR acquired at least 10 new series and increased our Fibber McGee and Molly by 4 seasons. Most of the new shows are still in zip file mode but we intend to unzip em soon, idv3 tag em and post on the station. Included in the new shows are at least 3 new Detective Mystery Shows (TBA) and some new additions to "Our Miss Brookes" and "Buck Rogers" and a much more complete Superman playlist. We’ve also added the most complete Green Hornet Playlist we could find.
CFRD just received 4 new CD’s from artists and we are in the process of screening and posting new music. We hope you keep sending us your songs, If you think your good and if we think your good we’ll most certainly add you to our playlist. Unfortunately not everyone gets on as we have a certain type of music we want on the station, but, don’t let that discourage you.

“Colorado Free Radio Talks, Christmas-New Years Show, hosted by Free D People. Free comments on China’s seemingly mistake to poison American Children and pets. Free also draws a comparison to undocumented workers in America to undocumented Jews of Germany and Poland. Free pays tribute to the passing of two great artists this month, Dan Fogelberg and Floyd Red Crow Westerman. As usual the show is filled with great music and inciting commentary “
