Howard Stern's Last Day

[PKBMax]

Stern is still the funniest, but Phil Hendrie is a riot.

Direct TV has XM radio and broadcasts O&A as well for free.

No, wait. I know why - is it because I disagree with you?

Disagree? You didn't disagree, you just came in and blasted Democracy Now! because I mentioned it.

Good for her. I don't know if she's responsible for the majority of crap that comes out of Democracy Now! and I don't think she's a hairy lesbian but from what I've heard of Democracy Now! it's Socialist garbage.

I don't know where you're getting this, they never make any mention of socialism on the program that I'm aware of, not even by implication. Also, if you didn't think Amy Goodman is a hairy lesbian, why did you call her one?

No, I say it's slanted left because it's slanted left. And that's fine, really.

It really isn't. It's independent journalism done by, what I consider, some of the last real investigative journalists in the business.

Uh, when did I say shit about Amy Goodman? I'm talking about DEMOCRACY NOW.

I don't know what Democracy Now! you're listening to (watching) but the one I get has one female anchor, Amy Goodman.

Yeah, they do. If I were you I would check out the free trial of XM online. It is pretty sweet.

I'll look into that. I really would like to have something interesting to listen to hear at home.

Fuck that. Ipod + Car Adaptor FTW.

Are podcasts really a substitute for real talk radio?

When said talk radio is Imus in the Morning, absolutely. If I had to listen to that shit on my morning commute instead of my iPod I'd probably veer off the road and into a telephone pole just to end my suffering.

They do make like, stands where you can listen to in your house right? I might consider that.

You can get what they call a "plug and play" that will work at home and in the car for like $30. You can get one that you can actually wear on your hip and take everywhere (plus home and car kits and all the accessories) for $99.

Imus isn't on XM. O&A, Ron and Fez, Bob Edwards, Air America, Fox, CNN, ESPN, and a bunch of other stuff.

Imus isn't on XM.

I thought you meant as opposed to the talk radio I get now. If I had XM instead I definiately would listen to that. My only gripe is that I don't listen to radio in my car long enough to, in my mind, justify the monthly fee. However, if I could take XM around with me, into the house, on campus, etc. then that would be a different story.

You can. It's called the "XM2Go" line. I have one (the Delphi MyFi) and it is fantageous. Goes anywhere (well, within reason), can record hours of content to be saved later, and integrates perfectly with the car and home stereo hookups with minimal hassle. Or, alternately, if you don't care about it being wearable and just want car+home, there's some retardly cheap units out there that are quite nice. I know where you can get one for free with a 3 month sub.

No way! He came to Dallas after Russ Martin left the Eagle. Does he still have Boy Blunder with him? His show was okay, but nothing we haven't heard before.

No he got fired.

Now he has Boston Rob and Ashley. It's fucking awesome.

[Cowutopia]

KROCK's almost dead. Fuck radio and fuck Z100.

KROCK is becoming "Radio Free."

(got a lot of that Tough Crowd with Colin Quinn feel).

Tough Crowd is one of the worst shows on television.
