It would be refreshing to get some info on this board about whether or not KPTK management decided to drop her, or if she's gone out of production again. And why. Instead of any snide one-sentence remarks.
Is it also a decision to move Ron Reagan later, for local or national reasons? And then Randi got bumped. I have to admit Goldman's voice and style is hard to distinguish from Ed Schultz. Three hours of that is sufficient.
I personally really enjoyed listenig to Randi for a bit on my drives home from the office - and wished she had a program director who could work with her to have her listen to herself on airchecks so she could hear how she sometimes interacts on interviews and with callers, and to make it a little less of a competition.
She really is one of the sharpest people out there, can turn a phrase on a dime that not's just shooting off her opinion, and is also one of the most well-informed hosts on AM 1090. Her "east coast" style is certainly different from Thom Hartmann, and just what I think KPTK needs in either afternoon drive or the early evenings. She did seem a lot less abrasive to her callers since she went with Clear Channel's distribution earlier this year. She has a problem with insulting her friends, even tho' it can be spot-on sometimes.
So, instead of poking fun and pretending to not know who she is, or, if you don't, informing us on this board that you don't. I'm guessing conservabots who do what their boss man say will probably get agitated just by the idea of a sharp and won't-take-any-crap kind of gal on the public airwaves. Imagine, the scandal of it all! But that doesn't make her something less than human, or having value being on the national airwaves.
But then again, I don't get my paycheck from the Mormon Church or friends of the petroleum industry.
