WMMR’s Preston & Steve Show Teams up with Local Company CheapCaribbean.com for the Trip of a Lifetime

On a typical Tuesday morning, you won’t see members of the WMMR’s popular program The Preston & Steve Show lounging around, sipping coffee, and leisurely discussing topics of the day. Instead, the tiny studio is a hotbed of activity, with interns, guests, and yes, the ever-popular cast squeezed into every corner, constantly moving from computer to control panel to soundboard to microphone. The first word that comes to mind: chaos.

But this isn’t a typical radio show; after all, it takes more than just the run-of-the-mill for Bassetts Ice Cream to develop a flavor specifically for you (Gadzooks!). 

Career Wardrobe helps women enter the workforce with the right clothes and an upbeat attitude.

Prolific novelist Horatio Alger had a successful formula for telling a story. He frequently chronicled the upward rise of a young man from humble beginnings who endures hardship and establishes himself in a position with potential. Alger’s consistent literary device, which signaled the beginning of a character’s ascent, was the acquisition of an article of clothing – a good overcoat, a pair of shoes or maybe a silver pocket watch. Such accoutrements would give the young man the courage and confidence to apply for an apprenticeship in a law firm or an entry-level position at some old New York investment house. Clothes made the man by helping to create a more hopeful future for him. And, to be sure, he was taken more seriously.

Conservation Society Inspires Through Art

At first glance, the Mills Grove Audubon Center may seem to be simply an historic site, first home of naturalist painter John James Audubon. But inside, it is a part of a massive national organization dedicated to preserving not only the memory of the artist, but the very environment he painted. And now that conservation is finally a popular topic, the Audubon Center is gaining momentum and reaching out to Montgomery County residents for support, before the infamous birds in Audubon’s paintings are all that’s left of Pennsylvania’s wildlife.

Bucks Businesses Support the Movie-making Dreams of Local

In some cultures, it is believed it takes a village to raise a child. In Bucks County, it took a village to make a movie.

Simply a Star.

First you notice his size. At six feet, seven inches and weighing 330 pounds, Jon Runyan is hard to miss. Add to that his highly visible position as a mainstay of the Philadelphia Eagles’ offensive line, and one might think he’s just another attention-seeking jock. Not at all. Indeed, Runyan would rather use his fame to give fans a unique point of view of the game of football, and to support the charities he so passionately supports. And while many fans know him for his menacing on-field persona, off the field he’s a laid back guy whose straightforward, simplistic sensibility keeps him centered on what matters to him most: his family, his teammates and the people he tirelessly works for every day, the indefatigable Eagles fans.
