Ralphie and Homer RealTime
For a while, Homer and Ralphie had kicked around the idea of starting a local show focusing on local events which would stream on Facebook. When the 2020 primary election came along they decided the time was right. “It was during the primary election campaigning, and certain races were hot topics. We decided the time was right to start things, “ Homer says. The response was so positive that they've kept at it. The duo takes to the air nearly every Friday evening with a rundown of local events, election information, and their Top 10 list segments.
