I’m not slamming either one. Someone will rule the time slot its how radio works. I’m just still recovering from the loss of Rush
Same here.
I really, really tried to listen to Dan, but there was just too many commercial appeals embedded in his monologues. It was just one ad after another. I endured the whole thing but wanted to turn it off after a few minutes of this.
And each product has to be personally endorsed; by him, by his wife, his family, his friends--best ever, can't sleep/work/go on without it type testimony that after a while sounds fake.
Rush endorsed maybe 3 or 4 products in a 3 hour show (Bollen Branch, Norton VPN, etc). Because I would always listen to his podcast in the afternoon, I could fast forward thru those.
But 4 or 5 products every half hour is too much.
I understand Dan has to make a living, but it is agony to me having to listen. It breaks up the entire experience into little chunks. Rush could weave his thoughts and calls like a master rugmaker over the three hours.
Yes, we will decide who wins the Limbaugh banner, which begs the question; what draws massive audiences ?
Entertainment ? Sincerity ? Enthusiasm ? Information ? Analysis ?
Thinking back 30 years, —you will remember—Rush succeeded because he continually expressed what we were thinking, whether unable or afraid to express it. That’s the over-riding key. The ability to relate to what America is feeling. In tune with us.
There are hundreds of conservative talkers on tv and radio right now and most are in tune to one degree or another. Tucker Carlson comes closest as of late, imho....but none have yet to hit the Rush sweet spot.
