I'm going to find a way to structure it so I can hear some good radio without having to listen to AAR. Cause it sucks, frankly.

1. Current listening I guess
Stephanie Miller
Peter B Collins
Potentially Christine Craft (she did have Malloy on very quickly after his firing)
Ray Taliaferro

2. So, you cut down the listenership of Randi, Rachel, Sam...
cause they had something to do with the Malloy situation... Randi and Sam 'specially since they have publically declared it not being right? And Sam most of all because he had Mike BACK ON to talk about it?

Nose, Meet knife of spite...

3. Nope. I've always disliked Randi, and Sam is at a horrible time
I can't listen at his new time slot.

And Rachel, never loved her either, or caught her morning show.

5. different strokes for different folks....
I LOVE MY AAR. While lots of us respected and liked Mike Malloy, he was not AAR. I hope Mike lands on his feet in an even better venue, but there's still plenty of talent left on AAR.

6. Peter B. is the BEST INFORMED host on progressive talk radio.
And, he did not pay for this post.

7. Yeah, he's good, I'm listening today
Then, some Ray Taliaferro probably. If I find some other things, good.....but I don't like EcoTalk, don't really want to hear Rachel, don't like Franken, Randi interrupts her callers all the time and is annoying, and Sam is on at an awful time slot.

Will just find some things hear and there, maybe program a local station just for me so I don't have to launch twenty million different players.

8. I've spoken to Peter B. a couple of times. When I tried to hook him up
I found he was 'way ahead of me. :)

This man is a true progressive. And he puts most hosts to shame in their shallow grasp of most issues.

AND he gets that progressive talk radio has to be entertaining, not just a drone. He owns his own station. That's pretty cool in my book.

14. Very solid choice
I remember listening to Peter B. back when I lived in the Bay Area back in the '80s. He was a morning guy on a rock station back then.

One of his strengths is that he's a solid radio professional. He's been in the business for three decades, has worked for both CBS and ABC, and worked in many different capacities, including news, DJ'ing, morning host and talk host. And behind the scenes as well, in production, voicework, and management. Show me another person in radio more well-rounded than that!

And the guy's smart as hell! I've listened to his current show a few times and I've got to say, he is pretty damn good. I'd put him up against anyone at AAR save for Thom Hartmann.
