I have enjoyed Batchelor a lot, and occasionally I have found him very frustrating. He has a great roster of guests: Victor Davis Hansen, Larry Kudlow, Malcom Holmlein, Aaron Klein, Yossi-whats-his-name, John Loftus, and on and on. Sometimes he gave too much time to such as Katrina VanDenHeuvel - which is the frustrating part.
If I'm not mistaken, he came on after September 11 on an interim basis, and has been on since. Maybe he just needs a break?
P.S. He has excellent taste in his bumper music. Hell, sometimes I woud listen just to hear the theme from THE MAGNIFICENT SEVEN!
Do you know anything about Mike McConnell aside from what is on the WABC web site? I guess he'll take Laura Ingraham's slot and they'll tape delay her show.
he really does have excellent guests and his bumper music can not be beat. Can you imagine what his CD collection looks like?
Oh, vomit, as if the LIVE Ingraham show isn't horrid enough! Is there a more dull or repetitive show on radio?
