My Healthy Radio Addiction
I've signed up for the "premium" LauraIngraham.com service, so I can get archived broadcasts. I do enjoy her pop culture style but it's often difficult for me to listen at the appointed 8-11 AM hours. This makes subscription #3, after Rush Limbaugh and Dennis Prager. I suppose I'm a sucker for "charter memberships" but don't expect me to order Bill Bennett anytime soon. As Jo noted, Bennett is a bit boring, and Bob Davis is great. But I often switch to Bennett from 6:30 to 7:05, when Davis is saddled with the news of the weird, sports, traffic, weather, and other seeming cultural universals of local morning drive time radio.
I first went back to February 3 to get her "post State of the Union" program, as I want to compare a number of talk radio programs and thought that day would be a good test. So far, I have Rush Limbaugh, Dennis Prager, Al Franken (archives are free on www.AirAmericaRadio.com) and Laura Ingraham. I put in a plea to Generalissimo to see if I can get Hugh Hewitt's show for that date.
So at some future date I will compare and contrast these programs in a series of posts.
