What did everyone think of the O'Franken Factor?

[mot78]

Personally I liked the show and his cohost is good too. However, he needs to be a little quicker...but then again he's only started doing this. I just hope Air America doesn't end up like Donahue or Dershowitz.

1. F*&KING GREAT!

[Joe the Revelator]

2. Enjoyed it immensely

and I'm excited about Randi

[American Renaissance]

3. the freepers are polishing their assult rifles,

I really hope these guys have some serious security with some serious firepower, because they are marked for death.

10. Randi just mentioned Lars!

That guy's crazy.

20. If Franken is killed (COMMENT REDACTED)

Better think twice, you cowardly Freeper fucks!

4. O'Franken Factor

Absolutely fantastic - especially loved the "Ann Coulter locked in the green room" segment! Listened to it via www.airamericaradio.com

5. Disappointing

Loved his books, but his delivery was slow and quiet, and even Michael Moore sounded like he was reading a promo on public radio. I did enjoy the Ann Coulter humor (of course, she's a walking joke in the first place). But Al and Katherine need to pick up the pace a little, or they might not be around more. Hopefully, they'll get better with practice.

9. Exactly

I thought he was slow, but he was also really funny. He does need to pick it up, but he will learn.

[K-W]

13. I usually listen to sports radio, so the pace bothered me too.

But this is at more of an NPR pace. It needs to pick up in all aspects. Franken needs to be quicker, they need to give and take better. The News flashes have to be faster. It needs to be alot higher energy to catch on.

21. They'll get better with time. Even Babe Ruth struck out his first time at

bat.

[StlMo]

6. I liked it. It was great (Franken did wonderfully for his first day).

His speaking style should get smoother - and it will.

[tigereye]

7. if you have listened to any of his past NPR pieces

those tend to need time to warm up.. his timing is more quirky than many comedians. It will be interesting to see how all this translates to radio. But in general, more power to 'em.

8. Still waiting for password (5+ hours and counting)

Not broadcast here.

[stewert]

14. HFish.........

You dont need a password, just use one of the streams on the internet.

The one I used worked perfect, and I am on a dial up ISP.

18. WhooHooo!

Thanks! I was waiting to stream it from AirAmerica, didn't think of getting it from one of the broadcast stations. Muchos gracias!

[Daisey Mae]

11. I love it

it makes me feel like there is really someone out there who cares about this country and shares what he feels .........AND HE HAS LOCKED ANN COULTER IN THE CLOSER..... Thanks Al ...... for that alone you deserve a metal of distinguished service!!!!
..... I feel not so alone....I love FRANKEN and am a long time fan of his ,but I love him even more in this new show.... I am looking forward to tomorrow's show.......

[stewert]

12. Fricking AWESOME !

It was great.

I plan to listen to all 3 hours every day. They should keep coulter locked in the green room
forever, lol.

[loftycity]

15. I thought it was great and with Al Gore calling in and talking with

Michael Moore was just the best. Kicked in really well. Good first show.

[Walt Starr]

16. I've been waiting for more than a decade and a half for this day

Finally, liberal talk radio.

It will be on my radio at home when I mget there this evening. I will purchase a small radio to listen to it on my train ride home as well.

No more Conservative News Network. No more MSRNC. No more Faux News. Air America is where I will get it all now.

[Dudley_DUright]

17. I only caught about 45 min when I went home for lunch

but I did catch the part were Al Gore called in. It was fun to hear Michael Moore apologize (sort of) to Gore for supporting Nader in the 2000 election and even more fun to hear him say that he will not be making the same mistake in 2004. Glad to hear that Gore will be a guest in the near future. They certainly have an A+ guest list.

[Maat]

19. I enjoyed it...

flitted between Thom Hartmann and O'Franken. I like listening to different styles -- hosts don't have to do it the same way -- and I'd be bored if they did.

[AgadorSparticus]

22. I LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE AA!!!

Clear Channel should be worried. I think AA is going to explode onto the scene.

[ElementaryPenguin]

23. I loved it - (without actually having heard it)!

At least I loved the concept of its existence! Can't wait to hear it!

[nborders]

24. I'm so proud of my little burg

Portland Oregon Baby!!!

One of the only 5 places in the country to carry all of the shows all day.

Only problem is the station (which was an oldies station) is owned by clearchannel. Hmmmmm. . . think they may have a public relations problem in this corner of the country?

[BigDaddyLove]

25. I think that the overwhelming appetite for what AirAmerica......

is serving will eventually make Clear Channel VERY happy that they signed on for the ride...they will be saying to themselves "why didn't we think of this sooner? There's MONEY to be made here".

[Arugula Latte]

26. Hi nborders!

Welcome to DU from a fellow Portlander! :toast: :hi:
