talk radio ain’t what it used to be. The old conservative juggernaut is gone. Clear Channel/I heartradio purposely took a hatchet to its old popular shows and now its unlistenable, its not even a matter of just politics although they are uberwoke now. Its just boring leftwing programming now with breaks shilling leftwing podcasts about the trials and tribulations of some feminist east coast anthropology professor to an audience of truck drivers.Rush would shed a tear at the current landscape.

It wasn't just Rush, either. G. Gordon Liddy was excellent at times, Ken Hamblin was generally solid, Barry Farber erudite but folksy and accessible, Dave Dawson was great with hostile callers and Dr. Laura rewrote the script for the "advice column" call-in.

Even today there is some solid local talent. Vicky McKenna who works two shifts (Milwaukee morning, Madison/All Wisconsin PM drive time) is exceptional.

The co-hosts on Rush's old time slot are unlistenable. One of them was better as a solo act. I listen to podcasts from Mark Steyn, Jordan Peterson (I skip the syncretist "religious" ones, he is in over his head and doesn't know it there), and Tom Woods (right-wing Catholic libertarian). That's how I fill the void.
