It's recomended listening, togehter with Laura, Sean, and Rush for any FReeper.
Americans will always prefer a pro-American show like Bennets as opposed to the anti-American bile that is spewed by A.A. and their ilk.
My favorite talk radio show: "Bill Bennett's Morning in America" celebrated 1 year anniversary yesterday.
Driving to work every morning with Dr. Bennett is some much better!
This ping list is not author-specific for articles I'd like to share. Some for perfect moral clarity, some for provocative thoughts; or simply interesting articles I'd hate to miss myself. (I don't have to agree with the author 100% to feel the need to share an article.) I will try not to abuse the ping list and not to annoy you too much, but on some days there is more of good stuff that is worthy attention. I keep separate PING lists for my favorite authors Victor Davis Hanson, Lee Harris, David Warren, Orson Scott Card. You are welcome in or out, just freepmail me (and note which PING list you are talking about).
I can't believe I let a whole year go by without listening in to his show.
I listen to Bennett almost every morning on 1280 The Patriot in the Twin Cities.
If you want political red meat in the morning, he's not the guy for you.
His show is much more serious and deliberative and yet never bogs down in wonkish minutiae.
I love Dr Bennett's show. It's so refreshing to hear a calm, reasoned discussion of pertinent issues.
Here in Toledo, the other talk station has a local morning guy who yells a lot, Glenn Beck, (a national guy who yells a lot) Rushbo, a local guy who yells a lot and then Hannity (a national guy who yells a lot about his book) on tape delay and Michael Savage ( a nationally syndicated nutcase)
Dr Bennett followed by Laura Ingraham is a great change of pace from the sound and fury of the other guys.
God, I LOVE Kathleen Parker. She is brilliant and fun at the same time.
5AM CST is a bit early but I'll give it a shot. Nearest station to Austin is 930 out of San Antonio, I think I can pick that up here on the south side.
Hope he's got his gampling addiction under control.
Bill, has his gampling addiction under comtrol!
Although Bennett's wife is from Charlotte, NC, there are no NC radio stations carrying his show.
Does he address gambling/addiction issues on the show? He should. I think his show would be an excellent, and appropriate, forum for this topic. He could really offer hope to others who suffer.
Otherwise, it's become very difficult to take him seriously on moral issues.

Aren't these the same things? ISn't "political red meat" "serious and deliberative"?
Hmmm, I guess I always thought of "political red meat" as MIchael Savage-style political discourse.
Although I repect Dr. Bennett as a passionate spokesman for what's good in America, I find it very hard to believe that anyone could possibly describe him as a "classic liberal". Anyone whose credentials include leading the Insane War on (some) Drugs is most certainly a champion of big, intrusive nanny government.

I arrive at my desk at 6 am eastern and plug into Morning in America over KSKY out of Dallas via the net. Then Laura Ingraham til 12 eastern and finish my day out with Rush.
Ahhh. Fantastic!
Bump for new tagline.
