Well, the basic message that he gets across is okay; it’s just that it takes too long to get it across (for me, anyway). It’s way too time-consuming, so that’s my personal major complaint.
And, if I were going to listen to him, then it would be by some method like podcasts, because I would have to pick the time for me to listen. And I would rarely ever listen to a program every day. It’s more likely for me to listen in a group, all at once, maybe once every two or three weeks and skip through it, for what I don’t want to hear. That’s the way I like to listen — so a lot of the stuff would be “lost” to me, because it might be “time-limited” and listening to it two or three weeks later wouldn’t be the same.
I do listen to radio shows, but they’re more along the lines of Christian ministry programs and/or preachers. And, for them, I will listen just exactly the way I was mentioning above.
Furthermore, I do prefer “written material” for getting information across to people, because you can scan the pages very quickly and skip the stuff you don’t want to go over, and stop and look more carefully at other stuff.
And you can speed read it, in any case. That makes a transcript of the show much more desirable than the actual show itself (per Rush...). I just want certain “information” and not a lot of time spent getting it.
I know what the show is accomplishing (in that they paid him so much money) is that they need an audience for a specified period of time, so they can sell advertising. Well, I’m not personally interested in the advertising (although that’s what they’ve gotta do..., but I don’t have to cooperate... LOL...). I just want to get down to the facts in a hurry, and a transcript can do that.
The only time I listen to radio is in the car, when I’ve got nothing better to do anyway.
