John Archibald 90.3 WBHM | Birmingham -- Alabama is chock full of big news stories these days. From the April 27th tornadoes to the gambling corruption trials, the immigration law, and Jefferson County's bankruptcy. It's a lot for journalists to keep up with and a lot of great materials for columnists like the The Birmingham News' John Archibald. He discusses the city, county and state politics in forums large and small. Instead of being unplugged as he is in the newspaper, we offer him a bullhorn. Sort of.
