Sounds like you're referring to WBCQ (5110,7415,9330).  I find them more 
interesting than many other SW broadcasters precisely due to the 
variety.  I just don't listen to the stuff I don't like.  I never knew I 
shared certain views with the religious right :)

They have BOATANCHOR talk and repair shows, all sorts of music programs, 
  computer hacking, news, religious shows (they seem to be syndicated), 
and lots of other interesting things.  Check out their website for 
content and schedules.
