Mike In East Texas 2011.12.05 [cf]

Charley chats with a man who in his own words calls a "Forensic Economist ". We only know him by the name "Mike in East Texas", who once a week on Sunday into Monday night talks with Charley about all things economic from heath care reform to Obama's stimulus plan etc. This dude may sound like a hick (Which is why I picked the picture to the right) but trust me my friend he talks with a lot more reason then any of the clowns on FOX ABC, MSNBC etc.

Jones hosts KRLD's overnight talk show, Texas Overnight, which airs from midnight to 4 a.m. Charley is a native Texan, raised in Arlington and graduated from Sam Houston High School in 1968. Charley majored in history at the University of Texas at Arlington, where he lettered in marching and concert band as well as the UTA pistol team.Charley spent two years after college performing western stunts at Six Flags Over Texas in Arlington before his love of science led him to head the soils engineering lab for Southwestern Laboratories and the water analysis/quality control lab for Mogul Industries.An inside tip from a friend got Charley into radio in 1977 when he was hired as the weekend overnight DJ at the legendary "Rock 'n Roll Zoo," KZEW 97.9-FM in Dallas. Charley spent the next 11 years at The Zoo, met and married his wife, Janel, and realized his real calling was radio.In 1992 Charley left his morning show duties at The Oasis to take a chance hosting an overnight talk show on KRLD and the Texas State Networks.
