Glenn Beck , he's the best.

Is glenn beck the one who got picked up by CNN? If so, I almost think he's trying to brainwash his audience. Maybe it's just the way he looks at the camera combined with a message that almost seems subversive. There was just something about watching that character that really makes me question his motives. But then again, if he's working up at CNN, of COURSE we should question...
The more you watch, the less you know.
Now is that an accident or a success?

I have listened to most of the hosts that have been mentioned and without a doubt Lars Larson is my favorite. Where I live here in East Tenn. I only get to hear him from 1 till 3 in the morning and it sounds like a rebroadcast of a program from during the day. I have heard him speak on 2nd Amendment issues several times and he not only takes the right side on the issue, but he argues his points more intelectually foolproof than anyone I've ever heard. I hope some of you get a chance to hear him sometime.
what, no NPR?
Well gee, doesn't anyone here listen to NPR? I know, I know, it's supposedly Liberal, but it doesn't seem blatently so IMO, and anyway, I prefer civil discussions rather than just big egos ranting and pontificating. My local NPR station has the BBC on for a couple hours daily, but puts it on in time slots almost no one will find--11:30pm and around 5am. weekdays. There are sometimes informative shows on in the daytime, with half way decent coverage of international current events. I don't listen except from about 9am--5pm Monday through Friday (weekends are too trivial and "lifestyle" for me.) If the show is on some boring topic, I just turn it off.

Jim Quinn of Quinn and Rose fame. Originally out of Pittsburgh, now syndicated in stations of Ohio, West Virginia, Pennsylvania. He is now the morning show on XM radio (165).
Quinn is consistently years ahead of the rest of the pack in trends and analysis. He does not grind axes for any party. Example, supports Bush on the war but wants him impeached over SPP // NAU. Another interesting sidelight is he seems to pick bumper music well ahead of the pack. His bumpers are now showing on Hannity and Limbo.

Well Savage is an a-hole. He attacked on live radio a school student who started a Savage fan club. He accused the kid of stealing his line. He attacks anyone who has higher ratings then him
Coast-to-Coast AM is alright just wish it wasn't on so late at night. Also I wish the local FM stations would carry it. Not the host's fault though
Mike Reagan is alright most of the time.
Garage Logic with Joe Sucheray I listen to quite often

Since last September, I've listened to NPR's "News and Notes" at 7 PM every day. I usually listen to "All Things Considered" (6 PM) and "Marketplace" (6:30 PM) right before "News and Notes."
I must say that I disagree with your comment that NPR isn't blatantly liberal. You must never listen to "All Things Considered" and "Marketplace." In nearly a year, I haven't heard either program say one positive thing about the Bush Administration. I have my own issues with King George, but the guy hasn't been 100% wrong 100% of the time. "All Things Considered" and "Marketplace" finds the cloud behind every silver lining.
And while "All Things Considered" and "Marketplace" maintain a facade of objectivity, "News and Notes" makes no bones about being anti-Bush, anti-Republican, anti-conservative, and pro-liberal.
Why do I listen? I think it helps to see the other side's perspective. Plus--unlike "News and Notes," "All Things Considered," and "Marketplace"--I don't think the other side is 100% wrong 100% of the time.
I also listen to "CarTalk" on Saturday mornings. I like that one.
However, I find myself shutting off NPR at unexpected times. Lots of counterculture crap, such as a piece of drek story they broadcast last weekend about an adult man's unrequited love for a 14 year old boy (for you English majors out there, the initials TM tells you all you need to know; for you non-English majors out there, the initials NAMBLA tells you all you need to know).
Silly human.
They made it that way so that people now could understand it--it wasn't meant for people then. They also had the semi-savage primitives do it so that their descendants would profit from their labors, thus completing the cycle of benefit.
Man, sometimes I wonder where some people take Alienology 101...
True. How foolish of me. I sit corrected.
However, it seems even our Ancient Astronaut benefactors were racists. In Peru, they made the local populace merely scratch lines into the plains for designs that can be seen only from the air. But they made the Egyptians lug huge blocks on stone from distant quarries and pile them into pyramids.
Why the difference in labor? Should we find them and ask? Or should we mind our own business and hope they don't come back? The answers are all in my book for $24.95, photocopied paperback. Order now, and I'll throw in some hair grower, a power crystal, and a dream catcher for only lifetime monthly payments of $9.95.

C2C is #1 with me lately.
A lot of great guest,any one hear Buzz Aldren last night or Richard Hogland.
I can pass on all the touchy feely new age barbara striesand.
Love the ghost stories,and international updates etc.
They should have been all over the story of Cheyanne mtn closing down tho.
Ken Hamblin was 1 of my favs.
His radio ,web site and all went off a couple yrs ago,google has revealed nuthing as to why.
G Gordon Liddy was my fav at one time,haven't heard him in yrs.
Costant shift of the dial tho,esp when Beck,Limbaugh,and Hannity are on.

Savage
Another vote for Savage, he is right about the "Enemy Within" who are trying to take over our country and turn it into Europe and take away ALL of our guns at the same time.

I was born and raised on listening to the late Mayor Frank Rizzo and Irv Homer (a card carrying Libertarian that wanted to repeal the Federal income Tax) in Philadelphia back in the 1980's. Now that was radio. I remember Rizzo telling someone on the air who was being harrassed and robbed by a neighborhood street thug, " If the police are not doing anything, stick a pen knife in the guy's neck"
Today talk radio its just plain sad, One side Bush can do no wrong, the other Bush is the root of all evil. Both are wrong.
Hannity would kill his first born for Bush
Rush would become a Democrat if the money was right and he got an endless supply of Oxy
Change the Oxy to horny co-eds and a chance to be back on regular radio and Howard Stern would turn republican and be the next Rush Limbaugh.
NPR is the polar opposite of Radio Disney. Every announcer at NPR talks like their puppy just died. (except Car Talk...those guys are cool)
Glenn Beck is OK but is radio show, but is comedy is kind of corny.
All I want from the person talking on the radio is for them to make me laugh, give me the news, traffic, weather, and tell me who sang the last song played. I don't care what any of these airheads think, I like making my own decisions.
