Whether you like him or not, Ian is the best open lines host after Art.

to each his own, personally I can't stand him.

I agree the Fr. Martin shows were some of the best. I also heard Art interview Willie Nelson for several hours one night and to this day I think it was the best interview I've ever heard.

That's the one where JC called in to scold Willie, priceless...

if you're lucky, you can find high school football broadcasts on the AM dial on the weekend, they're much more fun to listen to.

I like Mark Levin. As a Conservative, I agree with alot of what hey says. Yeah, he gets over-excited, but I think that is a marketing gimmick to differentiate himself. And I do admit it puts me off. Is it sincere? Not sure. But has anyone read "Liberty and Tyranny"? An excellent book. You will not get that level of intellectualism from Noory, Obama, or anyone else.

funny putting Noory and Obama in the same sentence as intellectual peers

I used to like his show, he had very good advice on starting your own business.

I live not too far from his Portland station.  He's a short guy that drives a big truck and carries a gun, nuff said...

He is just boring. I can't tell the difference between him and NorMAN GoldMAN (emphasis his).

The only progressive radio talk-show host I can tolerate is Thom Hartmann. He is smart, engaging, and entertaining.

Well, you're at least willing to listen to another opinion, and that's good

Hannity isn't on any of the AM stations around here, but Colmes plays on the weekend, and his show is terrible. Not to get too off-topic, but they did (do?) have a show together.

Colmes is great, he takes on all callers and has excellent, informed opinions and is fun to listen to.  Ring of Fire is also a very good radio show btw, in my opinion.

I'm not sure if she still has her radio show, but I liked it the couple of times I listened. On the local station here, her show always played at odd times so it was easy to miss. I liked her style, though, and she has a fantastic speaking voice.

I think she is very smart and has good ideas and opinions, sorry cons

sounds a lot like George Burns...so he's probably got another 30 years left

abiotic oil is a petroleum like substance that oozes from the earth and is made from the remains of unicorns that were smooshed by giant dragons living at the core of the earth.  it's almost as rare as a-idiotic radio host

I think Bigfoot must be involved in abiotic oil in some way..that being said, George Knapp is by far my favorite host, actually the only I listen to now.  I like that he doesn't turn the interview into an argument as Ian sometimes does, and he really knows his music, I always learn something after listening to him.  When I listen to GN, I feel like I'm getting dumber by the second.

there's always the coastgab stream.  it's not new, but it's something.

Yes, there's always that, and the JC archive has given me many hours of enjoyment, still I miss the '90's..

I heard one was spotted in Beaverton about 20 years ago...

I lost touch with C2C after 2002 or so, tuned in a few nights ago and it was like a family member had been replaced with a poor imitation.  I look forward to Art in his own show.  The only other host that I can listen to now is George Knapp, Ian P....sorry, but no.
