The Free Associates

 Norman Coady

The Free Associates is a discussion based show on WMUA Saturdays from 11 to noon. A range of topics are addressed with the following ground rules:


  1. No Experts: While experts might appear on the show they do not appear on show in which their expertise will be exercised. This preserves the shared pursuit and intellectual inquiry for the show.
  2. Minimal Data: Outside data, so hard to corroborate, is kept to a minimum.
  3. Enter undecided, stay loose, leave undecided.
  4. Try to get Whalen's orange van ticketed.


The show pulls from a bullpen of frequent guests. Call in is: 413-545-3691 Text in is: 413-200-8186
