What are your must-listens?

Which shows on local radio (and they can be syndie) do you HAVE to listen to every day or once a week?
Sat. or HD radio is OK to list but hopefully these are shows on standard broadcast

Mine:

WRKO: Red Sox baseball
WRKO: Howie Carr
WTKK: Laura Ingraham
WODS: Thu. Night Countdown

frequently
WBZ: Jordan Rich, Steve Leveille
WKLB: After Midnite
WODS: 10:00 Beatles
WMWM: Juke Joint, Sat Night Rent Party,
Tracks of the Towns
 
before progressive talk disappeared in Boston, I'd listen to Stephanie Miller and, on podcast, Mike Malloy and Sam Seder. I listen to Steph on the 'net now.

none of these are must listening, compared to the three shows listed above but shows I listen to regularly:

WEEI-Dale and Holley, Big Show
WBZ-Steve LaVeille, Jordan Rich
WWZN-Morning Show, Tony Bruno, Dave Smith, Todd Wright, Traders Speak

... and Sox and Pats...
 
Not local stuff but I have been sent some airchecks from other places in the
past and present have enjoyed. Some of these can be heard online

WKSU Kent OH-- folk show w Jim Blum
KGO San Fran-- Gene Burns
KPLU Seattle --All Blues
WEVL Memphis-- Back to the Country & Sho Nuff Country
CHUM Toronto--Roger Ashby Sun Morning Oldies
KZOK Seattle--Bob Rivers (talk show; guy known for doing parody songs)
WNIR Kent OH--Howie Chizek (talk). "The talk of Akron!"
KCRW Santa Monica Le Show with Harry Shearer

(when I travel I listen to and tape):
WIZN Burlington VT--Blues for Breakfast
VT Public Radio--My Place

Back in 99 just before she went national I was sent some tapes of Steph Miller via KABC LA
 
WBZ for news and Bruins and occasional talk.
(I heard WBZ, btw, two weeks ago in southern florida - BEFORE the sun was down. that was the day 880WCBS came in quite well, this was at 5:30-ish).
Sox, guess now on RKO. Also Howie and Savage, when I can.
WBUR on weekends for Wait Wait Don't Tell Me, This American Life, On The Media, Only A Game, Travis Smiley. As far as I'm concerned, NPR is great for weekends.
 
John Depetro
Larry Elder
Howie Carr
Michael Savage
Coast to Coast AM (always good for a laugh)
Todd Feinburg (weekend show)
Gun Talk

* If you haven't tried Replay Radio, it's like Tivo for the radio. I listen to most of the above later, when I have time or on the road
 
In the car :

Hillman(WAAF) in the morning
Howie(WRKO)/Big Show(WEEI)/Afternoon Edition(WBUR) in the afternoon
Robin Young(WBUR)/Dale&Holley(WEEI)/Jule Kramer(WFNX) in the midday
WBZ(for top/bottom of the hour updates)
XM(for NPR when getting out of WBUS range; for
other talk shows that can't get on local radio)

At home :
Sirius(for music)
WBOS(George Knight)
WFNX(Paul Driscoll)
 
weekdays:
Feinburg
some of Finneran (with rotating co-hosts and guests, get a variety of opinions)
BBC

weekends:
Feinburg (especially his Middle East Hour, 3-4 on Saturday, via stream. Wish he would do more of this during the week) on WRKO on Sunday.
This American Life
Ellen O'Brien (this is new, but I'm now a regular)
 
O&A XM202, and that's pretty much it.
 
Dale and Holley on WEEI.

Michael Feldman's Whad Ya Know on NPR (XM) Saturday mornings.

My listening habits have changed since I work second shift and we cant get an AM signal where I work. I used to be a big Howie Carr fan.
 
I used to listen to Whad ya Know all the time when it was on WGBH or WBUR and on occasion have heard it in other places via tapes. I think they podcast the shows on their site too, as does Harry Shearer's Le Show.
