are there any other talk radio junkies out there? i'm a big music fan, but i spend most of my time at work listening to talk. it's been a tough week because our best local host was inexplicably fired, and i miss his show quite a bit. i can still stream 4 hours of adam carolla every day, though ;D
so how about it? does anyone have suggestions of other good talk shows i should check out?
I've got an Air America affiliate out here, so I mostly listen to lefty political talk radio.
I like Stephanie Miller in the morning. At that time of day, a few fart jokes and sexual innuendo keep it light. Her voiceover guy adds a lot to the show.
I actually know a couple of the local hosts, and the situation isn't too good for either of them. I sell cigarettes to one of them and easily recognized the voice. His show's got some weird scheduling because he fills time on the sports/news station. The other's the morning guy on Air America, Lee Rayburn. He fills in for Tom Hartman's national program every once in a while. He was cool enough to be a celebrity judge at my girlfriend's stand-up competition for free. A friend of mine who works in independent media said he asked her about job possibilities recently, but I hope it's not that bad. I'd be sad to see him go.
One of the AM affiliates here will occasionally play repeats of old Art Bell shows from the Clinton era. I always enjoy hearing some of those conspiracy theories with an extra decade's worth of hindsight.
Art Bell is how I got started on am radio, actually! I still catch George snoory Noory ever once in a while. It was probably somewhere around the first bush term. I used to listen to quite a bit of right wing radio, it's nice to hear a different perspective on the issues. However, lately, be it left or right wing, politically slanted talk has really gotten stale. Fart jokes and innuendo, are great(which is probably why I am a huge Carolla fan)!
^^^ I listen to right wing radio... please don't smite lol
I listen mainly to NPR or Indie-talk on Sirius. However if I am going to listen to partisan radio I prefer the stuff that is opposite to my opinions it makes it more interesting.

Try some Micheal Savage then, you'll love to hate him

I like Hannity, I think Micheal is a piece of shiit that is full of hate though, I dont care much for Rush either but I do like Hannity... and and Bill ORiley can eat a dick
so my talk radio world has been pretty much turned on its head since I started this thread, now the adam carolla fm show is no longer on the air either! However, he now puts on an hour-long podcast every day with some great guests, and it is entirely free AND commercial free! I HIGHLY recommend it to anyone who likes comedy and insightful talk. you can find it at www.adamcarolla.com/
also, my favorite local guy that got canned now puts on a podcast as well, hosted at www.citypages.com/mischke
Niether of these shows are political, which is pretty rare for talk radio. So anyway if you're bored and stuck at a desk all day, or want to load up your ipod with some highly entertaining radio, check these shows out!

If you LOVE radio...especially talk formats, you gotta get Sirius sattelite radio. No, I don't work for Sirius. But I do work in my car 9 hours a day and Sirius is the best thing that ever happened to my work day.
For me it's CNN in the early morning. Then Alex Bennett on Talk Left 146 from 9am-12pm. Then I catch the replay of the one and only Howard Stern from 12pm-6pm.
Besides what I listen to there is so much more to enjoy from getting Sirius. If you don't already have one...get one!

Agreed!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! SIRIUS RADIO IS THE GREATEST THING SINCE SLICED BREAD!!!! I could totally be their spokesperson! I could and never live without it now that I have it. It is a "MUST HAVE" for every music lover. Sometimes I find myself sitting in my car in my driveway...just listening (music, news....love me some Nancy Grace ). I love it and would advocate anyone and everyone getting it. You'll never listen to crappy radio again.

Mike and Mike in the morning although I usually watch it but still counts I suppose Big O and Dukes mid-day Mike O'Meara in the evenings sometimes Ill get my bros Sirius online code and listen to some stern for old times sake
thanks for all the great suggestions - I'll have to check a few of these out for sure. I kind of like stern, and sirius sounds pretty cool, but i have a hard time justifying paying for radio when there is so much free content. I really think the cutting edgo of talk radio is in podcasts, but then again more and more of those are pay to listen formats too.
And sorry to keep pimping out Adam Carolla, but if you enjoy howard stern you should really give his show a try, he has a somewhat similar sense of humor and i find him downright hilarious. Plus not having to pay OR listen to commercials is badass.

Have you listened to Bill Simmons podcast? He has had Carolla on sometimes and he is pretty funny two. I always enjoy listening whenever they are together.
good call, i have checked out bill simmons, he's pretty entertaining. and yeah, he and adam have a great rapport. how can you go wrong with non-stop point break and rocky talk?? "I AM AN F-B-I AGENT!!"

it is so crazy how big that guy has gotten. i used to read him when he was on digitalcityboston.com (he was the Boston Sports Guy back then), probably making like 50 bucks an article. he was even better back then, because he would say whatever he wanted about players, announcers, writers, etc. Now he has to show some professionalism and be respectful to his colleagues. I think alot of that stuff ended up in his book. I didn't read it, because I had read it all before anywyas.
Back to the main topic, talk-radio makes me angry. Whether its sports or politics, I get fired up listening to people say stupid things. Especially in the car. So I try to stick to music.

That's awesome. I always feel like he's holding back in the podcasts, and I've heard from Dan Patrick and B.S. how ESPN isn't too fond of their employees ripping on each other. But I agree with him being less edgy. I've been reading him since 2002 or 2003 I think and he seems to tone it down, but I guess that comes with being on the ESPN front page.
And back again I love listening to FOX News radio on a long trip where I am tired because I always get pumped up and get angry with all the ignance. Talk radio always gets me through the extreme boredom.
