Rush Limbaugh’s fastest three hours on Radio is actually two hours.
Between the News breaks twice each hour (two minutes of News and three minutes of Commercials), the regular Obscene Profit Commercial Breaks and his narrated On Air Commercials that he always ties into the topic at hand (Lifelock, the IRS), at least 20 Minutes of each Hour is dedicated to Sponsors.
Pure Capitalism, unless the Serfs revolt. LOL
That ain’t the half of it.
The official podcast is just a tick over 1 hr 30 min (even they cut out the tiresome spoken word ads for various snake oils).
An audio editing program can find and eliminate silences of which therre are many due to Rush’s frequent pregnant pauses and his constant futzing with the very audible and loud [but not to him] printer. This knocks the show down to 1 hr 15 min or even less.
