Personally his stories are one of the reasons why I listen. He's a great story teller IMO. As far as his political beliefs--they are definitely not perfect but when I want a more reasonable, optimistic take on the current issues I go to a different source. He's right on some things and he's wrong on some things but he's not boring. His show yesterday was very entertaining.
Me to. But he seems to be repeating the same things way to much lately. He picks a couple headlines and keeps on making the same point. It's like he is not even trying.
