Description
Ken Altshuler is a lawyer and a news junkie from Oklahoma. Mike Violette's mediocre academic performance at Waterville High prepared him perfectly to be a blowhard on Maine radio for forty years talking politics and sports. Ken and Mike were long term radio partners on Maine's top rated WGAN Morning News with Ken and Mike. On this podcast they continue to discuss and debate news and politics both local and worldwide, as well as pop culture and the social trends of the day.

Chapter 39 of News to ME: Ken & Mike Redux
2026/09/29
Chapter 39 of News to ME: Ken & Mike Redux has dropped! Okay, we start out with too much about sports, but with Michigan, Indiana Fever, and the Patriots all sucking we had to get that out of the way. Then we got into politics: Collins vs. Jackson, Bobby Charles, and the national outlook. Oh, yeah, the Red Sox are playing the Yankees. Will we be happy or sad about sports next podcast? You will have to wait and see. Enjoy.
Chapter 28 of News to ME: Ken & Mike Redux
2026/09/17
Chapter 38 of News to ME: Ken & Mike Redux has dropped! Sorry for the long absence, but back in the saddle again. We start with a tribute to Dolly Parton, also mentioning Gram Parsons (from Flying Burritos - and you will know why if you see the video), Emmylou Harris, Lowell George, and Linda Ronstadt (whom we interviewed on WGAN many years ago). Then turned to the Lindsay Clancy trial (mental disease or defect or evil?), a summary of how we view the election landscape in Maine and nationally right now (just a hint - the only race in contest is the Collins - Jackson race), and wrapped it up with Patriots, Red Sox, and Michigan. Finally, the quote is "Good morning! And in case I don't see you, good afternoon, good evening, and good night!" You will know what I am referring to if you listen to the podcast. Enjoy!
Chapter 37 of News to ME: Ken & Mike Redux
2026/08/21
Chapter 37 of News to ME: Ken & Mike Redux has dropped! We talk some politics, some sports, and some fairs. Primarily local politics: governor's race, congressional race, and, of course, the BIG one - Susan Collins versus Troy Jackson. Right now we basically agree with each other: Hannah, Paul, and Susan win their prospective races, but it isn't Labor Day yet, so too soon to call. Listen to Mike broadcast the harness races from the Windsor Fair. He may have an unexpected guest drop by. Not that I know the first thing about harness racing, of course! Enjoy.
Chapter 26 of News to ME: Ken & Mike Redux
2026/08/13
Chapter 36 of News to ME: Ken & Mike Redux has dropped. Special guest Stephanie Anderson, long time Cumberland County District Attorney (twenty eight years!) joins us to explain why she is running for DA again, and why you should vote for her. And, yes, she was the first republican I ever voted for. But now she is not party affiliated, which is also true for me and Mike. If you want more info on her campaign you can check out her website: https://stephanieforda.com/.
Chapter 35 of News to ME: Ken & Mike Redux
2026/08/07
Chapter 35 of News to ME: Ken & Mike Redux has dropped! A VERY spirited discussion about Anthony Fauci, which we had to stop before Mike came through the computer screen to choke me. Then another spirited discussion about Todd Blanche, although Mike just let me vent. Talked about Lindsay Clancy's trial (Massachusetts mother who killed her three children), a few minutes about Amanda Knox's comedy routine, and ended with my rant about Trump's corruption and the democrat's complete inability to use it as a campaign vehicle, and, instead, proposes a bill which could be the stupidest bill in the history of Congress (and why on earth is Chuck Schumer still the leader of the democrats in the Senate? He is an imbecile). I should mention we started the podcast with Mike loving the Red Sox. And that Stephanie Anderson, candidate for Cumberland County DA, will be our guest next Thursday!
Chapter 34 of News to ME: Ken & Mike Redux
2026/07/28
Chapter 34 of News to ME: Ken & Mike Redux has dropped! All (well, mostly all) Troy Jackson and Susan Collins. A little Red Sox, Patriots, and Caitlin Clark, but you will have to listen to find out more!
Chapter 33 of News to ME: Ken & MIke Redux
2026/07/09
Chapter 33 of News to ME: Ken & Mike Redux has dropped. Hmm, what is there to talk about. Nothing to see here. Move along! Okay, wall to wall Platner. Will he go or will he stay? Who will take his place? How will his replacement be chosen? Our take on the entire Platner fiasco. As of 4:00 p.m. of course, because things will change minute to minute! Enjoy.
Chapter 32 of News to ME: Ken & Mike Redux
2026/06/19
Chapter 32 News to ME: Ken & Mike Redux has dropped. So we have a spirited discussion about ranked choice voting and whether the wait is worth having a majority winner. We predicted the winners of the republican and democratic gubernatorial primaries and chatted about whether or not Graham Platner is really an oyster farmer. Chatted about the Iran war and the alleged peace deal. Wrapped it up with a discussion about the World Cup and how in the world did Boston run out of beer. Will Boston's party town reputation be permanently destroyed? Enjoy.
Chapter 31 of News to ME: Ken & Mike Redux
2026/06/12
Chapter 31 of News to ME: Ken & Mike Redux has dropped! Hmm, what is there to talk about. Oh, how about Graham Platner? How about who will be the democratic candidate for governor? How about the democratic race in the second district being MUCH closer than anticipated? And what would a podcast be without revisiting Mr. Eliot Cutler and his SIXTH charge of violating probation. Enjoy!
Chapter 30 of News to ME: Ken & Mike Redux
2026/06/04
Latest edition of News to ME: Ken & Mike Redux has dropped! In all fairness, the only real topic to talk about is Platner (although we did some minimal discussion about other Maine contests). We did wrapp it up with a vicious attack on Pickleball. So listen and enjoy!
Chapter 28 of News to ME: Ken & Mike Redux
2026/05/27
Look at us. Three weeks in a row! Chaper 29 of News to ME: Ken & Mike Redux. We discuss Texas politics, whether or not the MAGA victories in the primaries helps the dems in the general election, should a dem vote for Janet Mills over Graham Platner, and the transgender proposal off the ballot. Listen, enjoy, like, and subscribe!
Chapter 28 of News to ME: Ken & Mike Redux
2026/05/22
Latest edition of News to ME: Ken & Mike Redux has dropped. Now for the necessary caveats. Mike and I are old men. And old men are not savvy at technology. So Mike dropped off of the zoom twice. I paused the recording rather than let it run and try to edit it. So apologies for it being a tad messy. Most of our conversation focuses on Trump and Platner, although Mike and I did have a brief "debate" about COVID, Shah, and Fauci. So listen, enjoy, and take pity on us and LIKE and SUBSCRIBE!
Chapter 27 of News to ME: Ken & MIke Redux
2026/05/14
Another exciting edition of News to ME: Ken & Mike Redux. We chat a lot about Mike's hateful and snarky post about the homeless man who took up residency on a Main Street corner in Waterville. And, of course, I say "hateful" tongue in cheek, because Mike is anything but. But, snarky, yes! Which got us into a discussion about panhandling, which made me hateful and snarky. A little about the Patriots and Celtics and a little about Susan Collins and Graham Platner and finished up with golf, pickleball, and bad hands. Enjoy!
Chapter 25 of News to ME: Ken & Mike Redux
2026/04/29
Ken and Mike are back and determined to do their podcast on a weekly basis. Long list of topic discussions on this podcast. The assassination attempt on Donald Trump (or was it?), Iran, Graham Platner and other local election topics, Mike Vrabel, and to wrap it up a discussion about top vocalists and top American songwriters of all time. Enjoy!
Chapter 23 of News to ME: Ken & Mike Redux
2026/02/11
With Susan Collins "officially" entering the race (we never had any doubt) we do a little chatting about the senate race, as well as the governor's race. But we have to have had our processing the loss of the Pats last Sunday. And where would a podcast be without some Eliot Cutler, the Epstein files, and Savannah Guthrie. Have a listen!
