Just Right Media’s anchor is the radio program Just Right, a weekly hour-long presentation of events and issues from the perspective of individualism and capitalism.

Broadcast history

From November 5, 2015, to the present, Just Right has been broadcasting on WBCQ in Monticello, Maine, USA, at 7490 kHz shortwave every Wednesday from 7:00 PM to 8:00 PM Eastern Time.

From a listener

As you guys know, I’m a huge fan of Just Right, and I’ve been thinking a lot about it lately. What is it about Just Right that is so appealing to me and what is that magic element that is missing from all other podcasts? I’ve realized over time that what sets Just Right apart, and this has not changed since episode #1, is that there is always an organized, well-thought-out, compelling, and significant lesson. Everything in the show ties to this lesson or concept. With the addition of Robert, there are often two concepts, making him such a great addition. I would imagine that it’s this part of any podcast or presentation that takes all the effort and thought #neverdaily!

Contrast this to other podcasts. In politics and philosophy, generally, they are unorganized; the lessons are scattered, improvised, and somewhat repetitious. Not to say that they have nothing to offer, but the majority of them don’t require a second listen and if they do, there is a lot of fast-forwarding to get to the good part. Just Right has some similarity to other types of shows, like weird and wonderful fact shows (Stuff You Should Know Series, BBC, CBC), in that they are organized like Just Right, however, the content is rather insignificant, non-controversial, and often just plain wrong, scattered and confused. I get so ticked off with CBC sometimes. Like the other day, the title was “Fascism, Can It Happen Here?” and they start the show with snippets of Trump speeches and move on from there, interviewing progressive “experts,” never once asking what fascism is to begin with—absolute garbage.

Anyway, just wanted to tell you that with every show, I learn something, and this “something” is always significant that I ponder for days, weeks, and even years. It really is a unique experience that enriches my life greatly, which is why I support the show in what I consider to be an insignificant way……which is the point I guess, otherwise it would be a sacrifice…LOL!

Thanks again, guys!

Roots

The Just Right radio program emerged following the conclusion of The Jim Chapman News Hour, which aired on 1290 CJBK in London, Ontario. The latter featured a regular Wednesday segment called Left, Right, and Center (LRC), with Jim Chapman as the host, positioned ostensibly in the “center.” Jeff Schlemmer, a lawyer from Neighbourhood Legal Services, represented the “left,” while Bob Metz stood for the “right.”

Upon Jim Chapman’s retirement from radio and the subsequent end of Left, Right, and Center, CHRW—an FM radio station owned by the Students’ Union at The University of Western Ontario and situated on UWO’s campus in London, Ontario—invited Bob to fill the vacant time slot. With just one week to prepare, he developed a one-hour talk radio program that has since evolved into the globally broadcast show it is today, airing on shortwave and boasting several hundred archived episodes.

No longer featuring representatives from the “left” or “center” of the political spectrum, Bob named his program Just Right. In his inaugural broadcast, he introduced the tagline “Not right wing… Just Right” to underscore that the show focuses on ideas rather than promoting any specific “left-wing” or “right-wing” stance.

Robert Vaughan joined as a co-host on October 1, 2009 (episode 122) and has been producing videos for Just Right Media since that year. These videos are available on their channels on YouTube, Rumble, and BitChute.

Cancelled!

While we were generally granted free rein to express our ideas on CHRW, the once-cordial—though occasionally tense—relationship with the station deteriorated irreparably on September 24, 2015. The station manager took issue with our endorsement of the Conservative Party of Canada during the election and our concerns about then-opposition Liberal Leader Justin Trudeau’s promise to immigrate tens of thousands of unvetted Syrian refugees.

This political disagreement resulted in the cancellation of our show on CHRW after an eight-year run and 419 episodes.
Fortunately, thanks to the financial support of our former Euro-Correspondent, Paul Lambert, we were able to continue broadcasting on shortwave, reaching a significantly larger global audience.

Theme music

The opening and ending theme music for Just Right is from “This Is Where I Came In” by the Bee Gees.

The theme music for The Danielle Metz Show is from an original composition by Bob Metz entitled “Contemplation.”
