Sure, there are plenty of radio shows that play mashups. I'm quick to state that all the ones I've heard are good shows. However,
Kopimi Radio With Mazanga Von Badman
( kopimiradio.net/ )
strikes me as the king of mashup radio. Mazanga displays advanced taste & knowledge when it comes to bootlegs. He appears to consistently be capable of delving into & portraying the true depth of the "scene".
Mazanga's show is aired twice weekly for a total of five hours. His audience numbers are in the hundreds of thousands. I think so many listen because of his engaging personality, in addition to the killer, & often rare blends that can be heard. Mazanga also has tons of contacts in the bootleg community who often "appear" on the show.
The regular shows shine with mashup energy in a way that compells listening, but regularly Mazanga does themed shows. The themed efforts might be about some holiday, or an albums' release, but my faves are the shows tributing individual mashers. All past shows are

so you can enjoy them repeatedly.
The 5 hour ( ! )
LOVE SPECIAL
( hearthis.at/kopimi/17-love-special/ )
is a massive example of the kind of achievement Mazanga achieves. Bookmark his sites & enjoy the every Wednesday, & Sunday shows before "the Fun Police" shut down the good times. ( Only kidding ) Meanwhile, we bootleggers will continue to mix in an effort to feed the Kopimi beast. If you're listening today from 3 pm CST on, you're hearing him live now!
Andrew Tobias: "Statues Again: Benedict Arnold, Anyone?"
"If in the interests of 'history, not hate' we're going to put up public monuments to traitors - defined in our Constitution as anyone who takes up arms against the government - we've got a lot of catching up to do, starting with Benedict Arnold and John Brown." - Jim Burt
Sapphires, a variety of the mineral corundum, are typically blue in color, but can also occur in other colors except one. What is the only color a sapphire cannot be?
Sapphire is a gemstone, a variety of the mineral corundum, an aluminium oxide (?-Al2O3). It is typically blue in color, but natural "fancy" sapphires also occur in yellow, purple, orange, and green colors; "parti sapphires" show two or more colors. The only color which sapphire cannot be is red - as red colored corundum is called ruby, another corundum variety. Pink colored corundum may be either classified as ruby or sapphire depending on locale. This variety in color is due to trace amounts of elements such as iron, titanium, chromium, copper, or magnesium.

Mark. was first, and correct, with:
Sapphires can be any color but red.
Alan J answered:
Red.
Jim from CA, retired to ID, said:

Billy in Cypress replied:
I was going to say "Martha". but the answer is "red" because red corundum is named "Ruby".
zorch responded:
Sapphires can't be red, because then they'd be rubies.
Gene wrote:
Martha! Oh, wrong day. The color would be red. If corundum is red, it's a Ruby.
Daniel in The City said:
Red, because that's a ruby.
Dave in Tucson responded:
What is the only color a sapphire cannot be? I didn't take the day off and have no idea.
Deborah replied:
The only color a sapphire cannot be is red - if it's red, it's a ruby.
Our dear friend visits us every year for a major party at a winery in Napa we love. She flies in on Friday, visits a B&B in Half Moon Bay that she and her late fiancé stayed at frequently, and arrives Saturday for the event that night. She spent yesterday with us as well. We always have a great time together and we're happy to share a festive weekend with her.
Today my husband left for a 4-day work trip, and she left a few hours later to fly home. I went into full cleaning mode - staying busy helps me with "post-visit funk." After a fun bike ride with a local girlfriend I returned to a very quiet house. Too quiet. Even the dogs just want to lay around. I may just take a nap myself.
Happy Birthday! I hope it is/was most excellent.

Years of enjoying my wife Patricia's love of gems have led me to believe the answer is "red".
Happy Birthday to you, Marty! ( Someone buy her a sapphire )

There are actually two colors a sapphire cannot be. The most popular color a sapphire cannot be is red,but a little known and therefore unpopular color, is sky-blue pink. Not a lot of people know that.

James Corden has said he is "disappointed" with himself for kissing Sean Spicer at the Emmy Awards and blamed his actions on having too much to drink.
The comedian and presenter faced widespread backlash for cosying up to Donald Trump's (R-Crooked) former Press Secretary spokesliar and mentioned the "harsh comments" he had received as he presented Monday night's Late Late Show.
He said he heard the critics "loud and clear" after the picture went viral on Sunday night, with many social media users accusing him of "normalising fascism".
Mr Corden said it was similar to waking up after a night out and regretting who you had kissed during the evening.
"According to some reports, at the after-party, Spicer was the most popular guy in the room. And I just want to say, I think people are forgetting that this man lied to the American people, and should not be embraced."

Nearly a quarter of Americans -- 22 percent -- either don't know or don't believe that U.S. Muslims are granted the same constitutional protections as other citizens. Roughly 20 percent don't know or don't think that atheists are protected under the Constitution.
These are among the findings of a new study by the University of Pennsylvania's Annenberg Public Policy Center, released ahead of the Sept. 17 Constitution Day, which celebrates the anniversary of the U.S. Constitution's signing in 1787.
The survey asked respondents whether they thought it was accurate to say that U.S. citizens who are Muslims have the same rights as all other citizens. Seventy-six percent of those surveyed said it was very accurate or somewhat accurate, while 18 percent said it was very or somewhat inaccurate. Four percent said they didn't know.
On the same question about U.S. atheists, 79 percent said it was very accurate or somewhat accurate, and 15 percent said it was very or somewhat inaccurate. Five percent said they didn't know.
But it isn't just the constitutional rights of Muslims and atheists that Americans are unclear on. Many Americans are highly misinformed about basic constitutional provisions, including what the First Amendment protects and even how the U.S. government is organized.
A German First World War U-boat has been found off the Belgian coast almost totally intact and with the bodies of all 23 sailors onboard.
The U-Boat II was found lying on its starboard side at the bottom of the North Sea at a depth of 27 metres, close to the coastal resort of Ostend.
At this stage, it is unclear whether the submarine was sunk by a mine, a British ship or a British plane. The find is the best preserved of its kind in the North Sea. Its exact location is being kept secret to discourage trophy hunters.
Although a part of the submarine's bow is missing, the torpedoes remain in place. The submarine hatches are closed, which indicates that the vessel has never been discovered before and that the crew of 22 sailors and one commander have remained onboard for about 100 years.
The find, which came after underwater scans suggested there could be a wreck in Belgian waters, was confirmed today by the governor of West Flanders.

A jogger in Colorado Springs, Colorado, has terrorized a family by taking weekly dumps outside their home, KKTV reports. The woman has been dubbed "The Mad Pooper" by Cathy Budde, who says her children were the first people to catch the jogger in the act, squatting with her shorts down.
Budd told the station she asked the woman, "Are you really taking a poop right here in front of my kids? She's like, 'Yeah, sorry!' "
"This isn't behavior that we see on a routine basis," Lt. Howard Black of the Colorado Springs Police Department told The Huffington Post on Tuesday.
Black said the suspect has defecated in several parts of the neighborhood, according to witness statements.
Political contributor Scottie Nell Hughes has filed a lawsuit against Fox News accusing the network of punishing her after she claimed she was raped by anchor Charles Payne.
Ms Hughes alleged Mr Payne coerced her to have sex with him in 2013 "in exchange for career opportunities and benefits".
She claims she was forced to remain in a sexual relationship with Mr Payne, during which she received more work at Fox News, but was retaliated against by the network after ending the relationship.
The suit states Mr Payne had "used his position of power to pressure Ms Hughes into submission" and when Ms Hughes tried to put a stop to the relationship, he became "physically violent".
When she eventually cut contact with him, the number of her appearances on Fox dropped from four to five times weekly, to five times over a period of 10 months.

Cracks Down On Debt Collection Of Private Student Loans
Consumer Financial Protection Bureau
The U.S. consumer financial watchdog on Monday ordered National College Student Loan Trusts and its debt collector, Transworld Systems Inc, to pay at least $21.6 million for attempting to collect on possibly non-existent or out-of-date loans.
The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau alleged that the companies sued borrowers without being able to prove the debt was owed or pursued collection on loans that were too old to sue over, and relied on false and misleading legal documents. The CFPB said the trusts had filed at least 486 lawsuits on debt where the statute of limitations for collections had expired.
As a result, consumers made payments of at least $3.5 million on debt they did not owe, the CFPB said.
The settlements come after three years of investigation.
A federal judge must still sign off on the penalties against National Collegiate Student Loan Trusts. According to the CFPB, the collection of 15 trusts purchased and securitized more than 800,000 private student loans, and then sold notes to investors.
Imagine how far you can go with a little bit of English...and a good lawyer.
Two billboards for an English-language school were quickly removed from the Croatian capital Tuesday after Melania Trump threatened to sue because the use of her likeness suggested she had endorsed the school's message, "Just imagine how far you can go with a little bit of English."
A lawyer for Trump, Natasa Pirc-Musar, said the company responsible for the marketing campaign was "not familiar with Croatian regulations, laws and mandatory relationships."
But the American Institute did know how to generate publicity. Within hours of the billboards' installation last week, pictures of them were all over the internet.
"The social networks went crazy," wrote the campaign's designer, Ivis Buric, told Newsweek. "Thousands of shares, retweets, and they're still coming in at pretty much the same rate with the positive or neutral comments. The campaign is also trending on sites like Reddit."

Republican governors are getting into the "news" business.
The Republican Governors Association has quietly launched an online publication that looks like a media outlet and is branded as such on social media. The Free Telegraph blares headlines about the virtues of GOP governors, while framing Democrats negatively. It asks readers to sign up for breaking news alerts. It launched in the summer bearing no acknowledgement that it was a product of an official party committee whose sole purpose is to get more Republicans elected.
Only after The Associated Press inquired about the site last week was a disclosure added to The Free Telegraph's pages identifying the publication's partisan source.
The governors association describes the website as routine political communication. Critics, including some Republicans, say it pushes the limits of honest campaign tactics in an era of increasingly partisan media and a proliferation of "fake news" sites, including those whose material became part of an apparent Russian propaganda effort during the 2016 presidential campaign.
"It's propaganda for sure, even if they have objective standards and all the reporting is 100 percent accurate," said Republican communications veteran Rick Tyler, whose resume includes Ted Cruz's 2016 presidential campaign.
