Poll question: your current favorite radio show host

[SteppingRazor]

1. Gotta go with Stephanie Miller...

I hope someday to be on her list of future husbands. It's my dream -- my terrible, self-loathing dream.

[LSK]

7. Im torn between her and Randi

But Stephanie gets the edge because Im listening to her right now.

Sam is in 3rd for me.

[MessiahRp]

22. I'm with you there

She's smart, funny and super hot. Can't beat that combo. :)

2. Rachael Maddow

[LSK]

4. im looking forward to her time switch next week

I never get to hear her.

[RebelOne]

17. Rachael is No. 1. I like Randi, but sometimes

she grates on my nerves.

[LSK]

20. the new lineup at AAR has them back to back

I cant wait!

[Lance_Boyle]

3. Still Garrison Keilor.

I've never been entirely certain why, but PHC still gives me a solid two-hour happy, once a week.

[IntravenousDemilo]

16. I have to go with Garrison Keillor too.

For exactly the same reason. He really appeals to my Canadian sensibilities.

5. I can't wait until Al Franken is off the air...monotone man

Sirius left is not much better. Very dissapointed with satelite programming...about 100 fundie/RW channels and 1 progressive channel with not much content

[nannah]

13. I agree about sirius; only 1 hour of thom hartmann

Although I do like the young turks and they are live on sirius in the afternoon/early evening slot.

[Roxy66]

6. Randi Rhodes is the Queen who has hung in there for years

I found her after 9/11 and she maide me feel sane again.

[ForFuxakes]

9. i like Rhandi

But damn she can rant and say the same thing 100 times in a row in the same sentance w/o taking a breath! Slow it down and take some more callers Rhandi! :crazy:

[Cleita]

8. You missed Bobby Kennedy, Jr. and Mike Pappantonio of

"Ring of Fire". They are my favorites although I love all of the above as well.

[nannah]

10. laughing with Stephanie, learning with Thom

For the quality of information and depth of knowledge of history Thom Hartmann is the King of talk radio. He has informative and compelling discussions with people of diverse perspective and postitions; he is courteous to callers; he is never crude. Although other more strident talk show hosts may reflect my feelings and way of seeing the world, I feel they offend people who are not quite convinced.

12. O.K....I love Stephanie...but she just said Ore-gone- instead of Oregon

But I still love her...

[saltpoint]

14. Judy Swallow of BBC News.

After her, I love the civility of NPR's Dianne Rehm.

[CountAllVotes]

15. Ray Taliaferro

You have to listen to him either in the depths of the night or via the archives on KGO which are there for 24 hours only.

Bernie Ward is next in line to Taliaferro. "The Lion of the Left" he is known as. :)

:dem:

[electprogdems]

18. I really really miss

marc and mark - By far my favorite radio show, probably ever

[laststeamtrain]

19. Bernie Ward n/t

[LTR]

21. Sean Hannity

Just kidding.

I picked Thom Hartmann. Nobody is as eloquent, informative and interesting as him. And the fact that he's been picking up so many affiliates as of late shows that people are starting to feel the same way.

I mean, look what this guy does in the Seattle radio ratings:

Hartmann beats Limbaugh!

[BrotherBuzz]

23. Bernie Ward

Been following him for over twenty years and watched him morph into the polished talk show host he is today. Quick with hard facts, too.

Brother Bernie, the Franciscan learned the art of debate from the Jesuits. Lookout!

[MamaBear]

24. Mike Malloy

He's my favorite. I like the way Mike calls out *Co and their enablers without apology, and I love Kathy's input, interjections, and her Pickles bits.

After that, Thom Hartmann and Rachel Maddow, then Randi and Sam Seder. Sam has really come a long way in the past couple of months and I expect he will continue to improve. Unfortunately, in his new time slot I won't be able to hear him anymore.

Marc Maron is sorely missed.

25. I was torn between Thom and Stephanie. They are different when

you think about it. I chose Thom. Stephanie is queen in her own unique kingdom. She and her group are very talented.
