I was wondering if anyone here has listened to any talk shows, I was referring primarily to conservative republican programs.....

I listen to Rush and Hannity when I get a chance, but am unfortunately often busy with other things from 12-3 and 3-6, their eastern U.S. timeslots. So, I usually end up reading everything on Rush's website and listening to some of what Hannity has to say, but don't have time to hear the rest.

But remember, Rush is right.

(And did any of you see him on TV during the Steelers game? True conservatives are Steelers fans... remember that!)

There is also a guy that I listen to named Jason Lewis, who does a conservative talk show in Minnesota. Wink

I love rush, and listen any time possible but I can never find his station. Sad

Listen online! Hannity's show airs live via his website from 3-6 PM EST (hannity.com). I think you have to be a Rush 24/7 member to hear the show live from rushlimbaugh.com, but there are dozens of stations with online feeds that carries his broadcast. If you're around a computer, try listening that way.

Jason Lewis is okay. He's a nice guy, but he's basically Rush Limbaugh Jr. I think he rants a little too much.

On the other hand, another Minnesotan talk guy is Joe Soucheray. He's probably a conservative, but he focuses more on Minnesota man issues (hunting, fishing, boating, cars) than politics. His show is called "Garage Logic" and his motto is that anything worth solving is probably worth solving the garage. It's more fun than a barrelfull of Hannitys!

I listen to Garage Logic as well, but I like Jason Lewis better. Smile

I listen to talk radio pretty much all day long.

I have the radio on my alarm clock, i listen on my hour drive to work, I have it on at my desk, i listen on the way home....and will listen for a little bit when i get home if it was good enough to listen to after i get out of the car.

However! Lots of Conservative talk radio hosts bug me so much! I concider myself a republican, but these hosts are yelling so much, and so ignorant... it shuts people off to thinking.

I don't think down party lines, i don't always vote down party lines.

I think rush can be sometimes just as bad as shock-jocks...infact, he is a sorta shock-jock. He says things to get people going...it can be entertaining....but its not how i like to get my news.

Another reason i don't listen to very much Conservative talk radio is: its not funny enough. I like some local morning hosts, I listen to KIRO 710 at work, a local seattle newsradio station that is the biggest AM radio station west of the mississippi. And usally on my way home I'll listen to KIRO, or one of the other alternitive talk stations. If I'm leaving work late I'll turn on KVI, the conservative station here in seattle....only because my favorite KIRO host just switched stations...
