In a funny way, the kooky drug taking liberal Joe Rogan could actually claim to be Rush’s successor. He’s the one who can boast a bigger audience than the mainstream media, he’s the one who can bring an issue into the minds of the common people just by mentioning it on his show, and he’s the biggest target of the left to be cancelled, but also is essentially uncancelable.
I miss Rush all the time but listen to Mike Gallagher and Mark Davis, as well as Alex Marlow and Matt Boyle of Breitbart.
The only real replacement for Rush is AI that speaks in his voice, his style, his humor and mostly importantly applies his analysis to current events. It’s very doable with the decades of show data we have.
It’s Mark Stein (the Canadian from New Hampshire) for me.
Hannity and Ingraham have become establishment elitist Kitsch.
I loved hearing Mark Steyn when he filled in for Rush. His sense of humor kept me entertained.
For me, it’s been the Nick Dipaolo podcast. Though he is salty!
I’m no fan of the team they put in Rush’s spot locally, Clay and Buck. They are knowledgeable but anything after Rush is a letdown.
Rush was amazing. He had a brain like a sponge. No matter the topic, he could spend a few hours with an expert and he would be an expert. I have known only a handful of people like that in my life. And the fact that he had radio business in his blood from an early age, he knew how to make himself interesting. Rush was an entertainer on top of all that. And he could always make you feel he was talking to you personally.
I like a little NY attitude in the morning so it’s Sid and Bernie on WABC-77..
I listen to Lars Larson, hes a local Radio host but has a nationwide syndication, however Steven Crowder is still my favorite Conservative in media, followed closely by Candace Owens then another youtuber Zonation, he hosts an online show you can find on youtube called Louder with Crowder, or on The Blaze network.
I’ve enjoyed Dennis Prager, and Rob Carson is kind of fun.
The Brittany Hughes Show on YT (2 new shows):

I believe the very best interviewer on radio now is Hugh Hewitt.
His radio show is broadcast from DC from 6-9AM. My local station rebroadcasts it from 9-12. However, HughHewitt.com loops it continuously through the day, streaming. I use that A LOT. Very good news; EXTREMELY good interviews of political figures and authors, most of them conservative.
I also really like John Bachelor, who broadcasts in the late evening hours.
And, of course, Mark Levin.
All of the above does not mean to take away from the others already mentioned -— simply to expand your horizon.
I strongly suggest catching even the first 15 minutes of the streaming show of Hewitt for a few days... you may be a real fan, too.
