Some talk radio people annoy me when they yell at their board ops while on the air ~ Vanity

Michael "Weiner" Savage is annoying the heck out of me, the prissy little self important prima donna started yelling at his board ops.

Seriously, I mean you hear feedback over the headset, you simply slide the headset off your ears and continue until they fix it and give you a hand signal to put your cans back on....

Savage despite calling himself an expert is quite the newbie.

And you NEVER EVER berate your board ops while ON THE AIR... EVER!!!!!

Reminds me of the overly self important bully type boss who berates his employees in front of the other employees instead of pulling them aside in private and having a reasonable discussion, even if you have to chew them out.

Having worked in a real business before this is just so unprofessional.

Just the sign of a doofus self important prima dona.

Medved - mocking, know-it-all and GOP cheerleader

Boy, that's the truth. Medved is so condescending, I can't stand listening to him. He should stick to movie reviews.

It’s so true. Although someone like Mark Levin adapted wonderfully well to the medium (in my opinion). Having grown up listening to radio (WABC-Cousin Brucie) and as a kid worked for NYC’s great WOR, I have no patience for fools like Savage!

I’m happy that John Gambling is now back on radio. A NY guy - he’s having trouble going from Morning Drive to mid-afternoon.

Medved is ridiculous. I’m sure he thinks Mr. Bundy belongs in prison although, undoubtedly, he loves the movie “Shane.”

Regardless....trashing your staff, on air, is unprofessional. But, if his fans know, expect and put up with this rude and immature behavior, good for him and them.

I hate when Rush starts his program talking to Snerdly or somebody about golf, or football, or how his latest Apple device is working or not working, and pretends he doesn’t know the show has started.

I wish Belling would blow his nose. Sounds as though he hasn’t done it in a couple of years. He should wear Breathe-Rite Strips when he’s on the air.

He broadcast live from 3-7 pm central time. Give him a call sometimes.

He even answers his email! lol phil@philvalentine.com

that’s an interesting list. UK listener here. so here’s my take..

1. John Batchelor .. if you want the whole world’s news in a single broadcast and you want to find out what’s going on, check him out. He’s a conservative from upstate New York, but he’s a solid New Yorker. So you get this mix of foreign affairs plus conservative chat. Listen to him religiously. The guests he has on really give a different angle on things , such as Professor Steve Cohen on the Russia issue. Plus John is a space nut, and has regular updates on the private space program.. good all rounder, and no shouting. And free to download.

2. Levin - the Great One.. can’t fault him. His knowledge of the constitution is unreal. He was the one radio host that seriously educated me about the American system. His podcast is free to download.

3. Hewitt : hit and miss, but when he gets into an interview , he’s awesome. Always takes the government line though, and trusts people too much. e.g. the Boston bombing. But overall , highly entertaining show.

Unfortunately, his podcast is behind a paywall, which is a big mistake in my view. Hewitt is a lawyer and brings his lawyer skills to interviews.. which is amazing listening when he really gets into it.

4. Prager : deep as hell. if you want to be entertained, don’t go there. But you’ll be educated
Again, sub only ( i ask - why? - if you want the American ideal to be spread throughout the world , why bother with the paywall? )

5. Chris Plante (WMAL) : talk radio as a comedy show. utterly hillarious.. his delivery is like a right wing verson of John Stewart. with a smile.

6. Savage : gets angry a lot. but smart as hell. for me , his the true “shock jock” that i turn to if i want a bit of anger relief.

rest of them.. not really bothered. Rush is ok, but i find his delivery very boring.. Hannity seems to be a conservative on speed.. not really into him either. Both him and Rush don’t feel too “real” to me. Savage seems more genuine in comparision. as to all the others i’ve listed above.

Savage is not real, I’m not sure he’s really conservative as a guy who donated to Moonbeam and lives in San Fran

Do tell. I don’t recall Gallagher doing it but won’t dispute.
Sometimes it’s a joke, like when Hugh Hewitt does it. But you can usually tell the difference.

Is this the same Valentine that used to be on in the nineties? I wasn’t crazy about that one.

If Savage has incompetent staff it’s probably because he’s so hard to work for that there’s a huge turnover.

Here’s mine:
1. Prager Class act
2. Medved Mocking know-it-all and GOP cheerleader
3. Levin Screaming Mimi
4. Hewitt Classy but a little too RINO for me
5. Gallagher Bit of a hack
6. Hannity Tired
7.Savage Probably mentally ill and possibly dangerous
