It seems that no matter what question you ask Agnes Kincaid, her answer involves the word family. I called to interview her about the radio program she produces with her husband: Head-On with Bob Kincaid on weekdays from 7-10pm ET. But I learned more about her four kids, her pets (including new kittens), and her father-in-law than I did about her job in radio. Some may say that might be because Agnes has only been in the radio business for about a year, but the truth is she brings her love of family into everything she does. Her kids are all involved with the show, and it’s a good thing because their radio studio is inside their house and Agnes works on the show about 17 hours a day. She is the producer and spends a lot of time on technical and computer stuff, schedules interviews, plans and plays all the music, and takes phone calls during the show. Agnes is also a private duty nurse, but her only patients today are her kittens and Bob’s father who became very sick in July.
Agnes has been working since she became emancepated from her parents at age 16. She grew up in Huntington, WV but she and Bob moved to a rural area to raise their kids in a small town. She then worked as a nurse in a jail and as an administrative assistant. They now live in the middle of the bible belt in an area that is very republican and conservative. They even have had Christians come to their house to convert them.
Bob and Agnes are both partners in Head On radio yet they don’t get paychecks for the show. Neither do the other hosts or the computer people. Bob and Agnes don’t even take donations, but some people do if they need to buy new radio or computer equipment. Bob and Agnes want the network and the shows to be centered on the listeners. She can often be found in the Head On Radio chat room where she reminds all that family is who you choose, and not necessarily the one you are born into.
Agnes Kincaid: Producer, Head On Radio Network
The program is: Head-on with Bob Kincaid

Freckles,
It was my pleasure to be interviewed by you. You have a gift for talking with people and if you so choose I do believe you have a very bright future as a journalist. It’s wonderful to see young people exploring their world and becoming aware of things that need change and with more like you I’m sure the world will be a better place.

fayette county is real republican huh??? how many republican delegate or senators or fed level reps are from fayette county? i bet there are 4 to 1 dems registered to republicans in fayette county.
fayette county is so democratic, republicans do not even run for most offices.
agnes….why do you mislead these people?

Truth Teller,
What color was WV in the last election? Red. What Party did that pertain to? The Republican Party. There are many Dems in Fayette Co. but politics aren’t always what they seem, now are they? Why guess at the numbers? Please do check out the statistics and ratios and let me know and as far as Republicans not running for office you may want to check that statment out due to the fact it is misleading.
I would be more than pleased to continue this debate in another area at your convience. My e-mail is Agnes@headonradio.com. Might I also suggest you give us a call @ 1-877-443-2366 and I’ll be more than happy to hear your version of the truth and we can share it with everyone else.
Until then I’ll leave you to prepare your facts.

excerpt:In Democrat-thick Fayette County, that means the race is over when the votes are counted in the primary. Indeed, in three times out, Holliday has never seen a Republican opponent on the ballot opposite his name.
no agnes…it is you who are misleading. your “area” is eat up with democrats. there a 3 dems up for the state house against 1 republican and she will lose.
you talk about bush winning wv? who won fayette county? there is how youll see if her “area” is “very republican!” kerri got more votes in this “very republican area” in 2004!
politics arent always what they seem???well, in this case, politics is EXACTLY what it seems to be . fayette county is EAT UP with democrats. here is you a little challenge agnes, ratios????tell me the dems to republican ration in fayette.
you HAD one good delegate..tom louisis, he voted AGAIST your democratic party and voted to REMOVE the food tax.. he voted to NOT add 5 cents a gallon gas tax onto our already rediculously high tax on there.
and yall voted him out! talk about voting against your own best interests.
and people who disagree have to find you here to debate with you. you BAN all people with differing opinions from your message board that now has 4 participants and the chat room.
yes…your reading this right,agnes, wants to debate and have people call, but they ban them in the message and chat room.
LOL…maybe they ban because they want to be able to say things like above and get by with it.

So Truth Teller,
Instead of calling the show or e-mailing me you would come to this child’s blog to try and debate? You have our information to contact us. Don’t involve Freckles in your need to vent. This is not our message boards and as I’m sure you noticed the title, “Teen Tibits.” I’ll be more tham happy to debate you in another forum but not here.
I’ll be awaiting your call or your e-mail.

look agnes. i can really see why you would want to debate this in private, because you have no defense to this manipulation of the thruth.
whats also worthy of note is how youll solicit calls from someone like me, but ban people like me from your message board and chatroom. and dont say its because of cursing because there is some liberal kook there called “one citizen” with cursing and name calling, calling a very good man there names as well.
no, if you really “care about the kids” youll debate this subject right hwere.because just as you would want her to not be influenced by any of the “evil christians” , you also would not want her being manipulated by any truth twisting liberals knocking on her door and begging her to vote for kooks like john kerry .

Informative and entertaining. I’ve added your blog to my “reading material.” Keep me updated!

Hi Cassie,
I just listened to your conversation with Bob Kincaid on May 26, 2009.
You asked some tremndous questions, including “Why hasn’t Obama learned the lessons of the Vietnam War.” Indeed.
I like your open, questioning mind. And I see from your blog repsonses that others appreciate you too. Great. Way back when, before the Internet, when I was in high school, it was real hard for we dissenters in the rural hinterland to get much moral support. thus, I am so glad that you blog and have a network of e-friends to support you.
So keep asking your questions, keep thinking clearly, and go on from high school to wherever your heart leads you. And keep calling in to Bob’s show so I can eavesdrop on two fine minds conversing.

I noticed that this is not the first time at all that you write about this topic. Why have you decided to write about it again?
p.s. Year One is already on the Internet and you can watch it for free.
