Kathleen Parker: When Bill Bennett listens, people talk [morning radio talkshow]

Considering that he is on at 3:00 am in CA, I doubt I'll be listening.

[DManA]

Glad to hear that because it really interfered with my taking him seriously.

[rahbert]

KSKY 660 out of DFW has him also..

[BJClinton]

I don't recall ever being able to pick them up.

[Tolik]

Stupid typo. I meant SO MUCH BETTER, not SOME. sorry

[Tolik]

He talked about it few times, but not much.

But I don't expect him to cry mia culpa every time. He dealt with it, done, over it. How much of self-flagilation should anybody endure?

Listen to him sometimes. His is a very good voice and earned my respect for sure.

[ken21]

if i awaken at 5 a.m. i listen.

bill's a good listen.

too bad he's not on when i go to bed at night. in my limited market i have a choice of neal bore or lars larson, so i nod off.

Bill Bennett is the best way to begin a day. He is soothing, intelligent, rational and kind.

I can't believe no one saw his radio "virtues" until now.

[Naomi4]

I like Michael Medved but I dislike many of his callers. They give me the creeps and I become uneasy to realize they are also Americans and could be my next door neighbors.

[Tolik]

Isn't that the point Medved makes? Sometimes he lets them talk without interruption because nothing he would say can be more damaging to these creeps than what they say themselves.

"The way to be comfortable is to make others comfortable, the way to make others comfortable is to appear to love them, the way to appear to love them, is to love them in reality."

Sometimes I love waking up at 3:30 AM and hearing Bill Bennett's rich voice and self-deprecating chuckle.

You can listen to a few recent shows on his Web page, or you can download them in MP3 format for your iPod. For example, yesterday's show is at:

Thanks for posting this. I've listened to Dr. Bennett since his show became available on 920AM in Atlanta. He wakes me up in the morning. I don't need to listen to the weather - if it's raining, I hear it on the skylight; and, if the sun is shining, it's streaming in the window.

His show is intelligent, respectful of others and the topics are timely without beating you over the head with the same-old-same-old.

I highly recommend listening.
