I will never understand the appeal of someone whose schtick consists of ranting about whatever subject pops into his head...and the vast majority of talk radio hosts, to a greater or lesser extent, use this format. That's why I don't listen to talk radio any more. Even if I agree with the host ideologically, I can't stand to listen to him. That includes Savage, Rush, and just about everybody else on the dial, with the exception of Liddy, who at least has some wit and a sense of humor.

Is there ANYONE out there who actually brings in guests to talk about relevant issues WITHOUT constantly injecting HIMSELF into the discussion?

Try listening to KGO's Bernie Ward (Jabba the Hut) sometime.. and you will love Savage.

Borders .. Language .. Culture

I don't care much for him either. When Clear Channel bought out the locally owned talk radio station and slowly dropped the local hosts (to be replaced with Clear Channel owned syndicated hosts or out of town talent relocated to Houston) the tone of 950AM went to a bunch of loudmouths with grunge riff bumpers etc. More noise than really issues: Outrage and controversy. Reasoned arguments are still put forth by the original Houston conservative talk show hosts now at 700AM KSEV.

That's why the hosts name is the name of the show. It's about what the host believes in, his views etc. etc. Same thing on the music side of the house too. The good jocks tend to make their show about them and how the music and the audience all relate to it.

About the only one I can bear for more than three minutes is Hannity. To me he shows some humility. Savage makes my brain and ears hurt.
