rkchgo,
Thanks again for making your feelings known about Mac Watson and the line up on KTAR. If you prefer left-wing progressive hosts and talk, you might want to dial down to KPHX. Fascinating and highly rated, I am told. I have tried to listen, but only get static.
Anyhow, I couldn't care a lick about Crummey's politics, he is entertaining, lively and can deliver any number of sentences without stuttering and/or dropping references to his infamous girlfriend. Ergo, his show is entertaining and fun.
With Mac Watson, he tries to show how erudite of a talk show host he is by using $0.50 words that most listeners don't know the definition to. With Crummey, I feel like I'm sitting at a bar, shooting the breeze and enjoying a beer with a friend (even though I don't drink). Mac's delivery sounds contrived.
Mac Watson is and will always be, in my book, a second-rate hack to the likes of Joe Crummey.
Disagree if you must, but I am entitled to my opinion.
