Has anyone ever listened to this?

I frequently see news items that cite The President’s Weekly Radio Address (TPWRA) but I have never listened to it. I have no idea what station it would play one or even what day of the week or what time.

Don’t look it up.

Do you know:

What day and time?

What station?

Is if available as a podcast?  
Does he spin some records or is it just talk?

Does he take callers?

Does he a crew that joins in like Howard Stern?

This has been bugging me awhile if you can’t guess.

News stations usually carry it, along with the Democratic response. Around here I’ve heard it on WTOP.

It airs Saturday mornings.

I vaguely recall been scanning the New York AM news stations (880, 1010, 1050), probably looking for a traffic report, and stumbling across it (and quickly changing the station).
