I've heard about 10 or 20 minutes of it. A little of the Franken show and whatever that show is with Chuck D. I'm not real high on the people they chose to be on the air but what do I know.

I think most talk radio guys are lousy and don't do a very good job with their shows. I think Rush is aweful, same with O'Reilly. Not really for their politics Rush is just really hard to take because he's such a blowhard and O'Reilly just...for me...provides no insight or grasp of the issues. Plus O'Reilly has become such a lightning rod he likes to take a lot of time talking about people attacking him. I really could care less about that.

We have one guy here in Boston that I think does a great job with his show. He's conservative and I certainly don't agree with a lot of what he says. He goes off the tracks a lot and sounds insane but I think that makes him more entertaining to me because he also says a lot of stuff that's dead on. So, it's kind of funny to hear a guy that can sound rational and reasoned one minute and like a complete loon the next. It's very good radio but probably most people here would find it very offensive.

I guess I'm just too damn picky. I don't listen to talk radio to hear someone confirm my thoughts I listen to it to be provoked...I think if you can do that you can keep an audience.
