Don’t you love it when leftists tell you about all the problems Conservatives are supposedly having?

Rush was OK I guess, but he didn’t understand the unconstitutional government power-grabbing of so-called “socialism” especially in the otherwise free market.

Here in central Texas, Michael Barry gets my vote as the best conservative voice on radio. I wish everyone had the opportunity to listen to him.

He does five(!) hours of radio a day out of Houston, Texas, and I’m lucky to listen one of those hours each day. Sometimes more. Usually less.

Ever since Rush passed on, I have hardly listened to the radio like I used to.

We get Dan Bongino in Rush’s old timeslot, but his New Yorker accent is irritating to me. We get Ben Shapiro in the evenings and his accent is even worse, and he talks so damn fast in staccato fashion it takes me several seconds to decipher what he’s saying.

There will never be another Rush in my lifetime, I’m afraid............

The "800-pound gorilla" in conservative podcasting is Ben Shapiro

I would rather dive out a 20 story window than listen to this Clown, or any of the others for that matter.

It’s a whole new world than Rush lived in just a few years ago. Government at all levels has been exposed, in most part thanks to Trump, for exposing this epic wide spread government corruption.

Shapiro is awful; I can’t stand his whiny voice, and he talks way too fast, like a typical NYC-er.

This article did not mention Charlie Kirk, who I think may be the closest to Rush than any of the ones mentioned. Bongino is close too.

I listened to Conservative Talk Radio for many years before Rushbo and still listen to many Conservative Radio Talk Shows since he passed on, but he was clearly one of a kind.

No one can replace Rush. He is missed.

But there are many good alternatives out there. I personally like Markley Van Camp and Robbins. I think most normal people can relate to them.

“Provocateurs from outside traditional party politics”

Radio is dead- Well not totaly dead, but who listens anymore but GreyHead Booomer Cons?

Podcast, Internet is now and the future for the time being.

Shapiro and DW have been exposed as Corporate Media Shills in the Crowder mess.

In his day Rush was the only one, and thank goodness I had the chance to listen.

Now, open your ears, there’s a whole new wolrd to dicover. So many OTHER voices to listen to. Malice, Dore, Noir, Jeremy, etc . . .

Listen to them all, and sort the Truth out for yourself.

Even El Rushbo would agree with that.

Agreed. I followed Rush through his entire radio career. He was definitely the King. Now, I skip around, because there’s no one I can consistently listen to, without growing tired.
Chris Plante is my go-to for mornings, Bongino once in a while, Levin at night, sometimes, and Red Eye Radio for late night.

Andrew Wilkow is really good. He’s also on Sirius/XM

I loved Rush as much as the next guy. But, what did 30 years of talk radio really get us? It got us where we are today, which is not a good position.

Rush was fun to listen to, but it didn’t really accomplish anything. That’s true for all conservative media. It’s just talk.

Same thing the left does with Ukraine. We know all about Russians business and Putin’s health care.

But we hear nothing about anything in Ukraine.

They do it because people on the right fall for it.
