Savage hasn’t done a live 3rd hour for at least 2 years.
It’s all pre-recorded. It’s segments of old shows, taped interviews and him reading what’s on his Web site that day (which can be done at any time.)
As they replay bits of Chick-Fil-A, venison, and kosher rules, maybe he has a clause in his contract that lets him escape to earlybird Italian or sticky Chinese specials in North Beach.
Oh yeah—
I’ve noticed it for awhile now. But it seems as of late the pre-recorded stuff is almost a month old. It’s probably because of all his absences..
Savage graded today’s show as an 80/100 ...He was way too generous IMO . I never listen to the 3rd hour - always switch over to Levin and then catch Levin’s first 2 hours on Podcast later on . Levin’s books are outselling Savage’s , too . Just a matter of time before Levin’s audience becomes larger . I was late listening to Savage , but even a year or two ago the shows were much more riveting compared to recent ones . If he continues to do 3 day weeks & bash competitors ( old ! ) I see more stations dropping him .
