Who here listens to talk radio and what do you listen to?

I listen to Dave Ramsey nightly. Other shows that I listen to sporatically are Dr. Laura, Coast to Coast, Lots of the "Air America" (left wing) shows. I also listen to Michael Savage, Glenn Beck and occasionally Phil Hendrie, who is one of my favorites, but his show is on very late at night. In the past I have heard Sean Hannidy and Bill O'Reilly but I don't listen to them often.

I have election fatigue but sometimes I listen to Rush Limbaugh and Sean Hannity while I am on the computer at home, through the computer, via the DC station (WMAL) website that carries them back to back. When I was in the workforce, I used to listen to Tony Snow (before he took the white house job), in the car. I like Hannity better on the radio than TV. On the other hand, I like Glenn Beck on TV (when he was on CNN Headline News Channel, coming to Fox News) but not his radio show.

I'm not a fan of radio shows (any kind, including ones that play music) where the host or host duo has a gang of twits around them or the duo are twits and they talk to and/or make fun of each other and/or make fun of/joke about other people. When they start talking to their staff/toadies/partners instead of the listeners, I turn it off.

Depends on which shift I'm working. 7am-3pm I'm listening to Walton&Johnson (conservative redneck comedy) in the morning and Sean Hannity in the afternoon. 3pm-11pm I'm listening to Hannity in the afternoon and Love Line with Dr. Drew in the evening. 11pm-7am, no talk radio going to work but Walton& Johnson on the way back from work. Also like Kim Komando when I can catch her show.

Because of my job, I have a lot of windshield time (I avg about 4K miles a month!) and mostly listen to talk radio throughout the day on XM satellite radio.

My schedule begins with Fox Business News for updates on the market, then Bill O'Reilly, Rachel Maddow (for left some wing humor) Sean Hannity, Mark Levin, Glenn Beck, Dave Ramsey and John Gibson (my favorite since it comes on at 5pm central and his show provides some relief from listening to partisan politics all day!)

I also tune into ReachMD on XM, it's news and commentary for the medical community.

One station I cannot listen to is Oprah and Friends. When I first subscribed to XM I thought this station would be my favorite but I find many of the hosts to be narrow-minded and cult like...IMO.

One last station, if I'm in a funky mood I switch to XM Comedy.

Mike and Mike in the Morning. I loved Tony Kornheiser's radio show then they took it off the air and cant stand Colin Cowherd.

Every now and then I will listen to Coast to Coast at night. It's all about aliens, ghosts and just generally weird things. Funny to listen to when I cant fall asleep.

wtks.com from Orlando is all talk. The show I like the best is The Philips Phile. The guy calls it junk food for your brain. They talk about anything local and national. It Comes on from 3-7 pm.

Is Phil Hendrie still on?? Never could quite figure him out. I listen to talk radio off and on all day. I am in Atlanta and usually turn on Neal Boortz. In the car I switch between Glenn Beck, Neal, Sean, Mike Medveck(sp). Night time I have a hard time falling asleep so it is Savage-he is wild! and if it is of interest, Coast to Coast. I am of a conservative nature, but I like to hear all aspects of topics. I get eveyone's viewpoint, and that really helps expand my knowledge.
