Gerry V - no disrespect because I really enjoy listening to you on the radio, but, if you're doing PM Drive in a major market, I can't afford to give someone time to get their feet wet. If you can't hit the ground running, you shouldn't be on the air.
MightyNine - I'll give you another example. I was listening to Dennis Miller last night (Thursday) on my way home. When I turned the car on this morning the radio was on 99.5. What were Castner and Wallensky talking about? American Airlines cancelling flights. Now, I don't know where you live, but, the three things people are talking about today in my neck of the woods are
1). Derrick Shepherd's indictment
2). The Archdiocese closing churches
3). The opening of the Bonnet Carre Spillway
American Airlines cancelling flights probably wouldn't even make the top 10. If you're doing talk radio, you need to talk about what people are talking about. Inform and entertain. Castner and Wallensky and Osterlind don't do either.
