"AM radio shock jock, Hugh Hewitt..."

That is a pretty good laugh, given his Harvard and professorial veneer!
The guests, sound-bites and the verbal interplay with "Generalissimo Duane"
really do keep the show moving along.

While we're at it, we should also give a passing nod to Hewitt's other books:
"The Embarassed Believer" (may be out of print now)
and the more recent "In, But Not Of" (IIRC).

And other honorable mention goes to the appearances of David Alan White, the
expert of Shakespeare, opera and other high-brow activities.
I REALLY like the series on Shakespeare that gets run sometimes on holidays.
Since White makes Shakespeare interesting to midshipmen at Annapolis, he really
cuts past the usual "artsy" treatment in English class and gets right to
the hard messages/themes of Shakespeare.
