Most of the time Mark Steyn knows he has an upcoming job subbing for Rush. He has plenty of time for show prep. Yes, I am aware of a few times where he got a last minute call to sub for Rush but this is the exception. When Steyn gets really revved up he's like Alvin and the Chipmunks on helium
Well, Steyn is not a radio guy and I find that he refines his written word in his columns a lot.
Hi likes to refine and refine what he thinks, and I dont think he is at the top of his game as a call up radio host.
Still I think he does a remarkable job as a sub for Rush.
I don’t think most folks know how hard 3 hours a day of radio talk is.
Most of us would be vapor locked in the first 5 minutes of the show.
