Summary: In an era when media monopolies dominate the airwaves, there still are independent voices and programs. King Biscuit Time is the longest running daily radio program, and it's broadcast live from the Delta town of Helena, Arkansas.
This portrait and interview with Sunshine "Sonny" Payne originator of King Biscuit Time, the longest running daily radio program in the country from the Delta town of Helena, Arkansas, is a great slice of american spoken word history. I wanted to hear more music and actualities to punctuate the story, as the interview cuts run a bit long, but there are great stories along the way. A nice saturday afternoon drop in for listeners or a great piece to have on hand in case there's a gap between music programmers!
