I listen to Savage on his home station, in San Fran-sicko (as he calls it):

He's on break now for a week or so, but you can hear the Best Of Savage from 6 to 9 ET, until he's back live.
This is an old thread but. .
Dr. Savage, et al. all deserve, earned all the time off they can get.
In these times "best of" ain't good enough. Never was, IMO. In the early days of Limbaugh, et al. and modern talk radio I found "best of" shows boring. Things were quiet back then compared to today.
I've listened to virtually every show Savage broadcasted for about ten years. I respect his efforts and I am a fan.
Frankly I find his "best of" insulting. There's got to be hundreds of eager fill-in hosts for a national show. Bob Dornan filled-in on the 19th.
Syndicated host Jerry Doyle acknowledged the need to keep on truckin' through the Christmas and New Year holidays during these times. That's the spirit, IMO.
