1. I haven't been able to listen to Mark Maron since Nov. 3rd.
Edited on Mon Jan-31-05 08:20 PM by LiberalVoice
How the fuck could you laugh on a day like that...He acted like it was any other day of the week and it pissed me off beyond belief.

3. I must have missed that- the day was a blur of tears to me
I can't listen to her as much now, but I love Randi the most!

2. Unfiltered has become my favorite....
The content is filled with good information. The Pap attack is the greatest.

5. ED SCHULTZ!!!!!
I know he's not on AAR but he rocks. He's our hope for a truly popular leftie, as he calls himself. He's also very bright, knows how to work the general public, and belittles major right wing media figures.

Ed Schultz, :yourock:

8. Same here
Ed is very, very good. Plus Stephanie Miller is Jones Radio Network, NOT Air America.

11. Al and Big Ed
I work from home - and our local AAR outlet (960 KQKE) has Big Ed on right after Al. That is a great six hours.

Al Franken -- If you are not "tuned in" to NYC humor (especially a misch of Borscht Belt and Seinfeld and Woody Allen) - you miss a lot of Al's humor. I especially like the way he and Paul Krugman feed each other lines.

    I am not from NYC - but my wife is---> and I picked up the real flavor of NYC humor from her uncle


Big Ed is my dad's kinda guy. Dad liked to tip a few at the Renzie Park Legion Hall and the SNPJ Hall, (fer yins ignernt folks not from the Monongahela Valley, the SNPJ is the Slovenska Narodna Podporna Jednota or Slovenian National Benefit Society), played a season with the Steelers, and was active in the Mon Valley Democratic organization - and ran Aldisert's and Papadakis's campaigns for Common Please Court.

6. Randi Rules!
that chick's got some ovaries! ('Cause she sure doesn't have cajones.)

Malloy is OK. Franklin drives me nuts, but the chick that's on with him balances him out pretty well.

7. Gotta go with Mike
though I love Liz, Randi, and Maron too.

And Stephanie Miller is not AAR, though she's pretty good too.

9. For some reason they play her in the Madison market- they made the switch
after Christmas, when I was already used to Liz and Rachel.

12. Really like them all for different reasons. They all have their strong
points. I really enjoyed Thom Hartmann when he filled in for Randi.

13. Agreed. I like the way they are arranged through the day
I couldn't handle the morning guys any later but they are great to listen to as you are waking up.

And I couldn't handle Malloy's bitterness early in the day, but late at night its fine.

15. I have to say Randi
With Janeane second and Morning Sedition third.
Randi is great in the medium, and Janeane(sp) is handling herself well. Although I enjoy listening to Al, and I think he would have been great in a 30-40's radio entertainment show, as far as the medium goes I think the other hosts are better at it.

And for some reason I just can't stomach Mike Malloy. He puts good information out, but I just can't stand constant tirades. He is like a democrat Savage to me, as far as style goes. Except, Malloy is telling the truth.

16. i absolutely love Majority Report and Randi, but had to vote for Malloy.
i certainly hope more people like Majority Report than a poll such as this would indicate! because i love them but certainly love Malloy more.

19. Janeane
Edited on Tue Feb-01-05 03:11 AM by Radical Activist
but only because I have the hots for her. I'm totally biased. I like the youthful tone of the show as well.
