Reminiscing about cleaning the glory holes and peep shows of the old Michigan Avenue porn shop

By Mark | October 8, 2018

Back when I used to have the radio show, I would occasionally get messages from a listener in Colorado. For the purposes of this post, we’ll call him Jeff… Well, Jeff, in one of our conversations, let it be known that he’d not only spent a good part of the ‘70s in Ypsilanti, but that […]

By Mark | January 19, 2017

This weekend’s episode of the Saturday Six Pack, our first under the Trump administration, will be told in two parts. First, we will be talking with people on the ground in D.C., and elsewhere, about the response to the Trump inauguration, with special emphasis on how women are standing up and letting it be known […]

On the upcoming “Saturday Six Pack with Mark Maynard”….

By Mark | January 28, 2015

So far, my tenure on AM 1700 has gone well… To my knowledge, there have been no charges of slander. There have been no complaints filed with the FCC. No one has attempted to fire-bomb the studio in protest. No one has suggested a boycott of our advertisers. Not a single guest has passed out […]

The Saturday Six Pack with Mark Maynard: episode two

By Mark | January 25, 2015

The second episode of the Saturday Six Pack on AM 1700 was, by all accounts, a success. I was kind of dreading it going in, as I didn’t have much planned for the 7:00 hour, but, as is usually the case when you open yourself up to serendipity, everything just kind of unfolded in a […]

The second “Saturday Six Pack with Mark Maynard,” this Saturday evening at 6:00, on AM 1700

By Mark | January 23, 2015

As it looks as though the FCC has opted not to intervene, we will be back on the air this Saturday, taking calls from around the world, and quietly narrating the goings-on outside the window of Ypsilanti’s AM 1700. And you, of course, are welcome to tune in and join us. While I’ve got a […]
