The technology is used to detect short pauses in the speaker’s dialogue (at the end of a sentence, for example) and “splice” the narrative by cutting those pauses shorter. I haven’t listened to him in years so the technology may be much better now, but when I heard Savage on the air back then I could detect this by hearing an occasional faint clicking sound on the radio when he was speaking.

Radio stations do this to squeeze extra advertising time into the show without tangibly changing the content.

Respectable professional radio personalities hate it. Rush Limbaugh was accused of doing this years ago, and he adamantly insisted he would never do such a thing. It turned out that some of the radio affiliates that were broadcasting his show were using it on their own. From that point forward, every contract he signed with the network affiliates included a provision that explicitly prohibited this sort of thing.

“Now, you know, it’s up to you whether or not you wanna just do the bare minimum or...“

I met him at a book signing in Wichita years ago. Between his presentation and the book signing, he stood just offstage acting like he was taking an important call on his phone and his posing posture. I shook his marker pen after he signed the book.

Oh and did you all know that he’s a Reagan Republican and martial arts expert? And author of his latest book, “Become Humble in 7 weeks, and How I Did It In Just 4”. Bet you all did know that. /sarc

Three pieces of flare is the bare minimum, just like his show

LOL, he needs to up his flair. I’m thinking 9 pins.
His interruptions are beyond annoying.
Why doesn’t someone tell him to be quiet until they’re done?

Ah yes, the King Of UM. The man cannot start a sentence without using the word UM, it’s pathetic. He constantly makes everything all about him, he interrupts callers, he plays the victim i.e. “don’t tell anyone you know me because they’ll never speak to you again”, he claims everyone hates him, he’s got personal security, he does MMA, he was in construction, his mom was a prison guard and he constantly repeats the same crap sentences over and over, “zero experience Hunter”, etc etc. I only listen for about 10 minutes A WEEK and recently he had his girlfriend Ainsley on, she wrote a book so he had her on the show to plug the book. He’s constantly pushing Oz and, if he’s not annoying enough, his producer Linda is just as bad with the over exaggerated accent, SMH.

Thanks for the explanation! I’ve often wondered if radio personalities used digital technology to make themselves sound better, e.g., men lowering their voices to sound more manly.

Has Hannity ever indicated that he is a Christian?

He used to brag about what a great Christian he was... until he threw his wife to the curb.

You'll think the MSM would go after him hard for that (they try to give it to Tucker 24/7 for anything they think will stick), but the lapel pins tell the deep state: "I'm with you guys, this schick is just pablem to keep the masses entertained and quiet"

Tick tock.
