I'm not arguing the veracity of Rush Limbaugh, but the nature of the whole
commercial talkradio genre. *There are a lot of people who do not listen to
commercial radio. *

Interesting sidenote: The teenaged son of one of my computer customers and I
were talking the other day. *I mentioned various talkshow and magazine show
hosts. *He hadn't heard of Ronn Owens, had heard the name Rush Limbaugh but
didn't know much about him. *He didn't even know who Ira Glass is, BUT he knew
Jad Abumrad and Robert Krulwich (hosts of WNYC's Radiolab). *We have heard the
future of radio and it is Radiolab. *He doesn't listen on the radio, though,
he downloads the podcasts.

Those Radiolab guys are ADHD! Or is that ADD? It's an OK show. Not
must hear radio, but I wouldn't turn it off.

If you see the person again, suggest "Sound of Young America" and
"Sound Opinions."

I remember hearing the SOYA guy interview Bob Edwards and the
conversation getting to the point where "Garrison Keeler must die" was
uttered. Cracked me up since I'm of the same opinion. Well not die,
but leave radio. The music on PHC is great, but the skits and readings
are just awful.
