- Quite true; Frank,
Air America is quite good..
Have a freind ( Veteran, Korean war) Listens to it regularly.

Did they get better? I didn't think they were particularly good last time I
heard them, but I did think Franken was OK. To be fair, I think they are
about as good as the Limbaugh clones, who get tiresome pretty quickly.
Limbaugh used to be better than he is now, but he started leaning hard on
the Republican party line years ago.

It will be interesting to see how many people are listening in a year.

Of course, what I like ain't necessarily what makes a decent sized audience.
I do think Alex Jones is the most entertaining talent in political talk
radio.



"Morning Sedition" where Mark has " Recovery Corner"
and reaches out to " Brother George Bush " with tips and hints:
"The Presidential Palm Pilot"and
- The daily " Liberal Agenda ' a fax coming in From The Streisand
Compound
are all good schticks..

- entertaining,
Like watching Cassius Clay Box; Flurry of direct hits,
then suddenly floats back . .
Leaving the opposition stunned and bewildered.

Air America's a very good station.

I think the New York station is their only 50 kW station, although the 1 kW
signal in Chicago had fair coverage. We'll see if the New York rating
surprise will give them some momentum to expand into other big cities. And
maybe they will get smart, and get onto shortwave radio.

Franken's quickly developing radio chops. His conversational interview
style often gives me flashes of Arthur Godfrey's best qualities, and then
there are the comedy bits, which are improving daily. I'm really enjoying
listening to him. The torture segment opening today's show (Franken bound
and shirtless, with Lanpher interrogating him using electrified nipple
clamps) was just hysterical!

All of AA's programming is tightening up since the management change.

Morning Sedition remains as entertaining as any "Morning Zoo" show I've
ever heard, but more clued-in.

Unfiltered, not so much improvement, though Chuck D continues to impress.

The best thing about Majority Report continues to be the guest list, second
best is how well-informed Janeane Garofolo is, though she's taking longer
to develop radio chops than Franken is. She really needs a more
experienced radio hand as a co-host and OTJ trainer; Sam Seder just doesn't
cut it, mostly he annoys the hell out of me.

And Randi Rhodes blows the rest of them away.

- Still love 'Recovery Corner'

" Hi, My names Mark, I'm an alcoholic;

reaching out to Brother George Bush "....

Lots of good call ins from notables

Great, Uplifting , entertaining stuff..
