The caveat here is that we're NOT talking about a music or comedy show (i.e. Howard Stern)

I'm going after someone that seriously discusses issues. My choice?

Gene Burns (pictured with Maya Angelou) ...



...KGO-AM 810 (San Francisco)

To me, this guy is the epitome of style, grace and intelligence.
Since he is a Libertarian politically, you get a different point of view.

So who is yours?
Do you listen to talk-radio at all? (beyond Howard Stern)

Hi tA ...I don't know any US radio hosts except for Howard so I'm going to say John Laws

Australians - you know what I mean (hehe pun fully intended)

Tell me you're joking.

I still haven't heard Glen Beck's radio show, but I do enjoy his show on CNN.

terry gross, i guess. i'm not big into radio, nor do i subscribe to the whole pundit puppet show thing. terry gross just seems like a nerdy little librarian lady who is easily amused by smart people. i like her. good times.

I....don't...know. I don't really listen to talk radio.

i love gene burns too...i also like bernie ward-i ONLY listen 2 talk radio in my car ....i never knew what he looked like...thanks

i tend 2 agree with him-i also enjoy his sunday morning show GOD TALK-he explores all facets of religion and lets callers express their likes and dislikes regarding the different religions

altho im kind of ashamed 2 admit-i try 2 catch dr laura schlesinger(however u spell it) whenever i can-some of her views r to extreme for me to get with-but she is almost always entertaining

For me, it's a 3-way tie:

Not so much a talk show host but I love Steve Wright's show. For those of you not in the UK, you can listen to his Ask Elvis download or Podcast here:

Hey there.

Does John Laws have streaming audio on a website?

Gene Burns does, along with an hour by hour playback of the previous day's show.

John London. Kind of comedy, but so is Rush Limbaugh.

He recently got fired for offering his listeners $5000 to kill ($7000 if he suffered) Penn Jillette of Penn & Teller, who's slot he followed on 106.9 Free FM in San Francisco.

He used to be hip.
The "clone lingo" at this point is way dated and tired.

He ate dinner at a place I was doing a Jazz gig at years ago (Monty's Steak House - Woodland Hills) the night after "The Incident" with Jim Everett.

For those unfamiliar with "The Incident"...

Thanks for posting the link..totally hilarious!

sweet said:

I catch him on the way home in my car.
Depending on when I leave, sometimes I catch a bit of Bernie Ward.
I used to listen to crazy Ray Taliaferro at home.

My experience with talk-radio started when driving home from gigs.
Music was the last thing I wanted to hear so I started scanning the dial...



...Art Bell is who I found. What a great show. Too bad he's not on much anymore.

REALLY?

He comes across as an overcompensating BUSTER.

Who got his ass kicked by Chris...I mean Jim Everett .

theAudience said:

Penn's just a bit of a nut, and he would go on & on about how there was no god, and claim to have proved it as fact in his 45 minute show.

That got them going on how pretentious & arrogant he was, but the breaking point was when Penn declared that Mother Theresa only did what she did for her own perverted sexual desires.

That's when London made the $5000 offer. It was all a joke, obviously, but but they fired him immediately and never referred to him again.

London was once talking about rock star debauchery and said Zeppelin was the worst, absolutely sick. They would get a bunch of pre-teen girls in a room and then bring in Penn to do his magic act for them.
