Also note that of the other personalities that I've heard on 950AM (besides Rush Limbaugh) he is the only one who seems to hold to his convictions. I don't oppose Mike Savage, he just isn't something I care to listen to much (I can listen to his show though).

The host that is on before him is the guy who has the fake guests (who's voices he provides). The whole point of that show is to outrage the audience at what they mistakenly believe is some idiot taking some odd position. Again, a lot of outrage and shock without getting anywhere.

I can handle Howard Stern (the radio shows I've heard seem a lot unlike what I saw on E! when I had cable). He is not on the radio here locally so I've rarely caught his show (generally only an hour or 3). What I admire about Howard Stern is that he runs for 40 minutes without a commercial break it seems. Commercials and news seem to be blocked at the top of the hour. He'll conduct an interview but he doesn't approach the guests the same way. His political discussions rarely make it to E!. There's times where I don't listen to any talk radio because the show has a guest host, an interview guest, or some other topic that is of absolutely no concern to me (remote broadcasts generally aren't as good of programs). I do listen to music on radio at times too.

Yeah I never really cared for the Phil Hendree show. A little too comical to be taken as a serious discussion of the issues. I admit, there are certain rants that the hosts get on that send me channel hopping. Perfect example, today Sean Hannity was talking about how some columnist was whacking him in an article in Playboy. Sean said that "anyone who buys Playboy is a loser and can't have a normal relationship with a woman." I about wrecked my car. Now that offended me on two levels, my dad reads Playboy and he and my mom have been married 37 years in April. My WIFE got my subscription for me! And last time I checked, I may be a little nerdy at times, I don't genuflect at the alter of PC and I have trouble getting places on time. But I am certainly not a LOSER! LOL! But as soon as he got off that rant I was ok. Even The God Father (Rush) says somethings at times that I disagree with.

Aah yes, Phil Hendrie. Theatre of the mind at it's best!
