Mandeville, LA - Here is your daily dose of "Mike if you only did your show the way Rush does it and toed the NeoCon/DeceptiCON line, you'd be a success, email.
Boy it is really you against your listeners lately
You seem to be taking the opposite position of what anyone says- I hear people calling and AGREEING with you and you jump all over them and “you people” in the audience
There was a discussion on FreeRepublic.com just about this same thing- several people said they hoped Michael Savage came to satellite radio in your time slot
When you are doing the little known history of The Constitution stuff you are THE BEST
But lately you have been jumping all over any caller.
It seems you have forgotten your primary job is to be entertaining and attract and keep an audience. Cranky and irritable is not a good on-air persona.
Listen to Rush- he is the best at that. Listen to what he SAYS about that. He is funny AND entertaining AND enlightening. I laugh out loud AND learn news. Glenn Beck is enlightening too- and HILARIOUS. Mark Levin is cranky and irritable but in very amusing ways (“Get off my show I don’t have time for mental patients”) When I listen to these shows I am ENJOYING it, even when I don’t agree with everything they say.
You are enlightening, but getting less and less funny and entertaining, and getting more bitter and angry at “you people” (your audience)
If you ONLY want to teach you should apply for a job at a college, you are certainly very knowledgeable on this topic, I often wonder if you have an actual PhD in History. (you never said your education, that I am aware of)
Believe it or not I LIKE YOUR SHOW and want to keep you on the air and growing as successful as Rush, Hannity, Levin, etc…. but I don’t think you like criticism or react to CONSTRUCTIVE criticism well.
Lighten up Francis- we got a war to win, against the liberal media whorenalists 5th column.

P.S. Your music is ….amateurish. (What is “eh-NER-gy”? you can’t just reparse words and syllables and put emphasis wherever you like) it is painful to listen to sometimes
Mike Church responds to Mike K.
Dear Michael,
If you don't like my "direction" lately than it is YOU who have changed, I have not wavered one millimeter from previous stands or positions. For the record, I actually LIKE what you seem to be so pissed off about. I LIKE confrontation with callers because it elevates the yes man discourse to actual debate, is there a problem with that?
Could any of us, me included, do a better job at all that we do, certainly. The fact that you have written such a long list of grievances tells me that you highly value your own opinion and take on doing things very highly. You can draw your own psychological conclusion as to what that says of your thoughts on my practices were it smilier (which you obviously disapprove of).
I appreciate the effort on my behalf and will work to Improve but I must say, your childish, nitpicking over pronunciation is what is amateurish about this entire episode. "P.S. Your music is ….amateurish. (What is “eh-NER-gy”? you can’t just reparse words and syllables and put emphasis wherever you like) it is painful to listen to sometimes"
I am posting your letter to my site and Facebook as I type, if you advise me I will not publish your last name.
I will remain then, your humble deviant,
Mike Church
Does anyone else find him getting less entertaining lately?
I stopped listening a while ago. I’ve since dropped my satelite subscription so I couldn;’t tell you if he’s worse now but I found his permanent bad mood a real downer and an annoyance. Who needs that?
Who’s Mike Church?
Never heard of him...
Don’t listen to racists and anti-semites. Problem solved.
Radio Show host on Satellite
He used to be funny and entertaining- now he is always cranky and irritable
It is not as enjoyable to listen to anymore.
He is a brilliant guy on The Constitution- i leanred more about the history of that than ever in my life
But lately I dont see why anyone calls him- he is confrontational with people who AGREE with him and calls them stupid...
I tried to offer some friendly advice and you should see the LAST response- in short I said FU I was so pissed off at his email to me.
dont be an idiot- he is NOT either a racist OR an anti-semite
He seems to have gotten more moody towards callers after Mitt secured the nomination and Ron Paul was eliminated.
I have NO WAY of knowing this, but it feels like he is losing audience and may be in danger of losing his time slot- who wants to listen to that in the morning?
That would certainly explain his demeanor of late
His last reply to me said my superiority cam from an Oedipus complex. Really pissed me off. That is what he does to his listeners when they call too. Its too bad he could have been another Rush or Hannity- he is not nearly as savage as Savage, but yet Savage has more audience because he does not act like his listeners are all stupider than him
I don’t know who he is. I have Sirrus/XM. What channel is he on and what time?
The only people who use the term “neo-con” are the crypto-Marxists.
And the dialog on the DVDs about the Founding Fathers isn't all that great: on one, an actor portraying James Madison was saying something about a 'Frankenstein monster' of a government, in one of the debates leading up to the ratification of the Constitution. IIRC, the Constitution was ratified in 1787, but Mary Shelley didn't write 'Frankenstein' until 1818.
XM125, 6 to 9 am Eastern.
That was intentional - it is meant to be semi-comedic and full of puns like that
I dont care for the DVD flacking all the time too- it would be cool if he was one of the great ones- but he is getting pathetic
and from his replies to me I can see why
Marke Levin was right to call him a back-bencher
I think he has no other advertisers- that is why he pays for his own commercial to flack his dude gear.
Thank you.
