He does have some history with the station...I believe he was the substitute host back when Arnie originated her show from WNTK. Always thought it an odd move having a heavily right-leaning host substitute for an equally heavy left-leaning one.

While I don't often agree with her viewpoints, I do find her show interesting and her passion for her "causes" comes thru. Goldsmith just sounds full of himself.
