How does one becoming a radio show host? What if I want one, where do I go? And do I need any investment?

Do you have a small local station that has live programming for a morning talk show? You'd need to work up a 15 minute tape that you could send in & see if they are interested in you as a visiting character.
Personality, I'm sure you have lots! You need to develop yourself as a brand. So, fastest way is to see if you can get yourself on housewives of the poor & entertaining . . . . I think that would be something like the wife-swap show. I think Reality TV is the fastest way to get yourself a name and then other opportunities.

No, thanks but I will explain. I want to sit down in privacy of my own home and talk about stuff I care about. And receive phone calls and stuff. I don't care to be seeing in public.
I want to ask some people why are they driving faster to get in front of me just to slow down and have me behind them all 20 min of our ride to the same place. Why do they create dangerous cituations for no apparent reason...and stuff like different cultural things and stupid stuff, whatever comes to my mind...I don't want to be brand...brandy maybe but not a brand!

If one of your local radio stations has a Vaughn/weekly call-in show, become a regular caller (from home) to get your message(s) out.

You could start an online podcast. Start it in conjuncture with a blog. You won't have callers right away, but if you let the MSN Refugee crowd call, you could.

I thought that's what we were for! You don't love us anymore? I'll call you and stuff. That happened to us yesterday. My friend and I were coming back from lunch and a visit to my property in another county when this truck rode my ass for miles. I was doing 5 miles over the speed limit. He insisted on passed me and risking killing oncomers in the other lane to just be a few feet in front of me almost the entire time. I hope he felt big and important by getting in front of me!

I listen to a lot of old radio shows there. Do a web search for live365 & when you get there I believe they explain the deal. (I've never checked).

I thought you had to have an FCC license to do something like this. But I don't know for sure. Good luck to you, if you do it, loony!

Sometimes when someone continuously follows me too close, I tap my breaks just enough to make the lights come on. If they really are that close, it's enough to scare the bejesus out of them. Especially if you are going 40+ mph.
I did this once when some guys were following me really close. They'd speed up and go around me, only to slow down to a speed slower than what I had been going. I was late for an appt. so I would go around them, and they'd do it again. It was so annoying! Finally I did the brake light trick. The look on their faces was priceless. They didn't get in front of me again, after that.
You have to be careful about doing something like this though. It can be very dangerous.

Someone here does an online podcast, or has a relative who does. I think it's Dark's wife who does this, if I remember right. It seems to be a quick and easy way to start. Heck Loony, if you did that, I'd watch or listen. I might even pay to hear you chat about your chickens, mention your melons and shout about all those "Sunday drivers" holding you up. Who knows? You could become famous, the Russian Rush Limbaugh. OK, maybe not the best comparison...

My wife does a podcast with an old college friend, but theirs is a little different from what you're talking about. They interview authors and review books.
You could do what you want to do with a podcast by having people call in with Skype. You'll need some basic editing software to clean up the rough recording and edit it into something people will actually listen to.
There's no money in it until you build up a big enough audience to make money on advertising. Depending on your show you can get some cool perks though. My wife gets to vote on the Hugo award nominees, we get advance uncorrected proofs of books before they're published, her and her partner go to a couple big conventions a year on press passes, and she's met a bunch of authors some of whom she stays in touch with after they've been on the show.

I do something similar, but instead of tapping the brake (which, as you said, can be very dangerous) I turn on my hazard lights for about 5 - 10 flashes, depending on if they are paying attention or not. My dad was a truck driver and I remember him telling me that was a truck driver's message for, "Hey, back off!". But I could be wrong and maybe I totally made it up... aaaaand, I just realized this thread was several day ago. Oops! I'm not on the boards on the weekends or nights at all.

Oh, and to stay on topic, I'd LOVE to listen to your radio show, Tloonya! I think a call-in type of show that covers all kinds of random things would be quite entertaining!

I think a good radio show would be where people call Loony to complain about bruised fruit, and then she shouts stuff like "YOU GO NOW! YOU HERE FOUR HOUR!" Rinse and repeat.
