I want to hear your rage.

Shock Jock, provocateur, scum bag. Craig James had been called a lot of things over his career, and he cared for none of them.  People accused him of exploiting the vulnerability of those who phoned up his radio program, but that was a naïve opinion held by easily-offended people.

All Craig did was expose the truth that festered in people’s hearts.

The ratings meant money, and that was all his bosses cared about.

Tell us what maddens you, tell us what enrages you. I want your conspiracies, I want you to tell me if you think the world is run by pan-dimensional, blood-drinking, shape-shifting space lizards.  Nothing is too bizarre for Rage Hour.  But keep it clean, folks, this is a family show.  And keep it legal because, remember, the mighty forces of law and order are listening.  Callers were sometimes unaware of how easy it was for them to get into trouble in that regard.  Anything even remotely racist or words that came close to promoting violence could often result in a visit from officers of Her Majesty’s Constabulary.

Truth be told, at the age of sixty-three, he was too old for this now. He should have retired long ago because enabling the rantings of the inane three times a week definitely took its toll on his psyche. Craig hated
