I would go with Bill Cunningham and Glenn Beck.:thumbup:
Both are extremely fun/entertaining/informative.
I also agree with them in most cases, what are you favorites?

There can be only one.
Howard Stern.
Everything else is just noise.
Glen Beck, Roger Hedgecock, Bill Cunningham
Mike McConnell
Dan Patrick, especially when Keith Olbermann joins him. Used to be Tony K. but he has apparently moved on to some other gig :)
All I can say to that is bababooey to you.

I like Glenn Beck and Dan Patrick, and occasionally Charlie Steiner's show on XM 175. I don't care for the overly political stuff that much.
I'm with you...especially on Mr. Tony. I always had his show on at lunchtime which prompted my wife to ask me more than once, "What are you *listening* to?". :) Colin Cowherd pales in comparison, imo.
As far as local guys go, I don't mind the Shotgun at all. He can get kind of cheesy at times but he's not bad.
Colin Cowherd.
The guy's flat out hilarious. "Who is Morelli? I'll take salami, I'll give you Morelli!"

the sports junkies out of DC. Probably a lot of people have never heard of them but they are really funny and talk about everything not just sports. They are four guys who grew up together for the most part and kind of sound like you and your buddies just sitting around talking. They can rival howard stern sometimes with their pornstars and topics of conversation. They actually took over his time slot in DC. You can listen to them online from 5-10 am if anyones interested.

As for national types...Glenn Beck is as funny a person as I have ever heard on his radio show and I love how creative his bits are.
Locally or at least anything in the State of Ohio....BORING!!!
Thank you CC, CBS, EMMIS and the rest of the cookie cutter broadcasting corporations for sucking the life out of any quality broadcasting.
The Junkies are fantastic. I used to listen to them on JFK in the evenings when I was in high school. Good, solid radio.
I've become a big Opie & Anthony fan over the last year or so that I've had XM. They're incredibly witty and insightful at times, but also can just smash you over the head with the inappropriateness, which I love.
russ martin here in north texas
I always listen to The Marty Brennamen Show.
I'm sure you've heard it, the one with a ball game going on in the background.
Every now and then the action on the feild catches Martys attention. Like in the 16 inining game vs the Dodgers.
We lost that game, Marty some how forgot that he was "The Hall Of Famer" and did a wonderful job callining PBP. I almost felt like I was there.
Due to my work schedule I really don't get to listen to much talk radio as I use to. But I do like Mike McConnell. I've heard Glenn Beck a few times. I also, on occassion pick up the Savage Nation out of NYC which I find entertaining.
Mike McConnell, Beck, Rodger Hedgecock are all good.
There's a guy out of Milwaukee thats pretty good, Mark Belling (sp?).
Local to Cincy on Saturday/Sunday AM Gary Sullivan who does home repair/handyman talkshow. It's on every weekend in the background.
Hoppy Kercheval is the host of a state wide news/talk radio show broadcast throughout West Virginia 10 a.m. to noon weekdays. He is informative, knowledgable and fair. Unlike a lot of radio hosts who contantly interrupt their guests, he gives both his guests and those who call in a fair chance to state their case.
All the guys on XM 175 (except the Ripken bros), the Two Live Stews on 1410 AM from 4-7 PM weekdays, the Sports Zone on 104.5 FM from Nashville from 4-8 PM weekdays, and just about anything on NPR. I refuse to listen to 700 unless the Reds or Bengals are actually on the air.
Olbermann is wonderful no matter the venue.
Beck is unbearable. I can see the talent, but if he only picked on his friends who make mistakes with the same wit and venom that he uses against the people he doesn't like, I might like him.
Ed Schultz
I've been listening to a lot of Mike and Mike in the morning since I've been out of school this summer. I'm not much for the radio though, just something to turn on and listen to when I'm not busy.

Dr. Laura.
I'm kidding :D
i like limbaugh,laura ingraham,hannity,cunningham especially when seg is on with him(thank you for your love and thank you for your lust)..i'm as conservative as they come but michael savage drives me nuts--agree with a lot of what he says but his schtick apparently is to be as hateful on the air as he can be and that gets old quick
I listen to Randi Rhodes, Sam Sedar, Ed Schultz, Bernie Ward, Ray Talefero, Thom Hartman, and Keith Olberman on the XM Radio. Note: MSNBC will be taken off XM soon, if not already. Goodbye KO.
Also, I tune into CSPAN Washington Journal on XM and O and A sometimes.
Of course, I don't have the time to listen all the time. It's mostly when I'm in the car.
Mark Packer here in Charlotte is pretty good. His "Primetime with the Packman" show is quite entertaining at times. He is the son of CBS basketball analyst Billy Packer.
Clark Howard.
I'm not saying he doesn't let his friends know when he disagrees with them. I'm saying he doesn't do it in the same manner. He doesn't write songs and commercial parodies about people who think his way, unless they are so obviously out of whack that it's safe to do it.Quote:
have heard him rip into his "friends". He seems to give his unabashed opinion on everything, you may not agree with his opinion but if he thinks one of his "friends" does something stupid he'll let them know.
He may have changed. He used to do his show here in Tampa, and a fellow employee had him on the radio for hours on end, so I have listened to him quite a bit. It was one of the greatest moments of my life when the boss told him he didn't care what he listened to except for that show.
If Beck now attacks both sides equally, I'd be surprised, but I'll have
to take your word for it because I'm never listening to him again. I have a personal boycott of CNN due to him and Nancy Grace, so I never see him, and I avoid the radio station he is on here as well. When WFLA started playing Mark "I'm so grumpy it's uncomfortable" Levin, they officially went to 24 hours of a solid one way street.
I have a problem with people- like Beck- who use their past failures as a way to shove their newfound goodness down everybody's throats. If he went down a dark path and came out of it, then let everybody else have the same shot.
Glenn Beck didn't come out of his struggle with alcoholism and drugs by listening to an AM radio program- so spare us the sermon, Glenn.
His show is an exercise an egotism masked as humility.
I don't listen to Glenn Beck but he would have to go quite aways to have less humility than Keith Olbermann.
Don Imus. The show was better 10 years ago but I'm hooked.
I love Colin Cowherd. He is an amazing guy. My wife and I drove from here in Maine to Florida back in in January and I told her right from the start, if there is one sports talk radio show you will be able to tolerate it, it is Cowherd. She was skeptical. No other radio show had ever peaked her interest, why would his? The result? She laughed the entire show. I forget what he was even talking about now but it was laugh out loud funny while making TONS of sense. That is him in a nutshell. He makes so much sense, it is funny. The other day he was talking about how he only has 17 years of good football viewing left. He said after that he will be senile and drooling. He went on and on about it, explaining it every which way, as he usually does and as usual it was quite entertaining. Herd is the man at ESPN radio.
I've been listening to WLW a lot this summer on XM but I haven't gotten a good read on the host. Furman's show is a little odd but I do like having the luxury of being able to listen to a Reds related show. directv and xm have been great for a lifelong Maine resident Red fan. Being a boxscore fan, sucks.
Glenn Beck. His show on Headline News is just as good if not better than the radio show.
