I sure as hell don't
Wow...I thought Josh was trying to get the Oklahoma Sooner play by play gig. Has Josh ever hosted a talk show before? He is likeable. I guess The Fan does not mind him being the Chargers play by play guy.

Josh Lewin was the play-by-play man for the Texas Rangers games on TV
Even if he has somewhere in the distant past, he hasn't hosted one in the last decade or so. You'd think some major market experience would be a requirement, but I guess Richie is proof that the Fan doesn't have such requirements.
And does likeable translate to listenable? As discussed when Dunham and Miller did "Blender talk", it's not that blender talk is interesting, but they MADE it interesting. Can Josh take a ho-hum subject (mid season mavs or stars loss) and make it interesting?
Josh's pop culture references were interesting as a side dish during Rangers games, will they hold the same interest when he's also the main course? Especially when there's 2 other "games" (Hitzges and B&S) competing with him at that timeslot? Baseball fans weren't likely to tune away from teh Rangers game because he's doing a pop culture segment- sports radio listeners very well might...
And for the chargers job- pretty much a weekend job- odds are the only conflict will be the very occasional Thursday or Monday night game...

VPC, your information seems to run counter to the original thread post.
As someone who criticized Josh a bit regarding his Rangers PBP, I think talk radio mid days is very suitable for his personality.
Can he do it? Time will tell. I think that he comes across as a likable guy.
On the other hand, if they are simply moving the port side deck chairs to the starboard side....

They call it RAGE because they call their show the "Richie And Greggo Experience". No, I don't take any pleasure in knowing that. I feel rather embarrassed actually.
Having them on 2-7 will make for a show full of pot shots at The Hardline, I'm sure.

yes, he's out. FOR GOOD!!!!!
So what do ya'll think of Josh Lewin on the air right now.
Lewin filled in for Norm while Norm was on one of his safaris about 6 or 7 years ago. Lewin was a bad-joke machine. I don't think he ever got asked back as a guest host.
