"Then explain his apparent departure from reason..."

It's sour grapes. Eric works at an insignificant radio station that can only be heard for about 20 miles, while Mark Williams works at the radio station that has the largest geographic coverage in the U.S. (KFBK Rush's original home base). Mark gets national coverage, while hardly anybody even knows that Eric, and KTKZ exist.

First off, KTKZ's coverage is much more than 20 miles - although it is much less than KFBK's.

Also, ratings are not Eric's focus. He strives to make a difference, and if he gets ratings for it, that's just dandy. But he's not out exclusively for ratings like Williams.

I guarantee you that people in the capitol take Eric Hogue much more seriously than they do Mark Williams.
And Eric gets plenty of national coverage. He is a primary fill in host for several national talk show hosts, and when a big story breaks on local talk radio (the recall, Stephen Pearcy's paintings, ext.) the TV cameras always seem to find their way into KTKZ's modest studios across from Cal Expo - not KFBK.
