I am one of those people that has listened to him for years. I download his show 5 days a week. I only listen to his entire show once a week. I click to the next podcast on my downloads when he starts attacking other talk show hosts.

It's interesting how we all, self included, use terms that no longer reflect reality... like "tape delay".
I wonder how many Millennials know what "tape delay" means.
I considered the audience before typing that term. You are correct though, it is an anachronism, but I do believe what I intended to communicate was properly conveyed.

Does Ben Shapiro really talk that fast or is the CummLess station here time compressing him?
Savage has not been on the air in Atlanta (CummLess' home market!) since his affiliate WCFO was sold to a religious broadcaster.
Surprised somebody didn't pick him up by now since he's in the top 10 of the Heavy Hundred.

That fast talk seems to be his style. I saw him on TV with Bill Maher, and he spoke so fast, Bill was having trouble keeping up.

Here is an update Savage will have his hours cut due to Ben Shapiro

Wow that's a huge change, and really demonstrates the rise of Shapiro's stock in the conservative talk world. He's become a favorite commentator at Fox News. The podcast keeps growing. It certainly helps that he's a lot younger than Savage. But you have to wonder if Savage will stick around much longer.
The RadioInk story about Ben Shapiro says there will be fewer commercials, and those that air will be live reads, similar to his podcast. That may be the first time a syndicated host offered something like that:

Savage is adding a 1 hour podcast in January.
I don't know if this means Savage got a renewal for less money or this is how Cumulus is riding out the balance of his contract. Shapiro's show is quite uneven. Cumulus tried to claim some of the 12-3 slot with Mike Huckabee and didn't get much there. Shapiro is likely to do better than Savage is, but I doubt it'll be much of an impact.
