3. Yeah, and she's also #1 in Palm Beach
Besides Al, I think Randi will get the second-highest notice behind Al.

8. yes, they need experienced radio hosts on
not people that are getting "on the job training or experience". Not very many people can do what a good radio host can do. Many think, "i can go on and just talk, .. how hard can that be." But, it takes special talent that few have to do it.

I'm looking forward to hearing Randi Rhodes again after two weeks off.

Edited on Wed Mar-31-04 04:19 PM by mouse7
Rhodes 3pm-7pm, Garafalo 7pm-10pm PST. Looks like we miss that one hour show between Rhodes and Garafalo and Unfiltered in the AM

That's what they are saying in the traffic updates right now, anyway.

58. yeah, what gives?
I posted the following on another thread..I am looking
for answers.. will keep at it:

thanks for the list but, when I tune in I find myself
listening to someone named Ed Schultz, and yet when
I play the Air America feed from their central website
I get Randi Rhodes. No offense to Ed Schultz, whoever
he is ( and I swear he has the timbre and cadence of
Rush Limbaugh, to the point it sounds like Rush Limbaugh
trying to do an impression of a liberal radio host)..
but good lord whose idea was it to put him over
Randi Rhodes? I tried emailing the station and
Air America .. no reply yet...

See the NYTimes article today? No mention of Randi at all.

http://www.nytimes.com/2004/03/31/arts/31AIR.html?8hpib

I'd be pissed, too. Go, Randi!

XM is only carrying the last hour of Randi Rhodes. They have the terrible Ed Schultz for the first 2 hours instead. What a pain, they have the entire Air America Line up except for the first 2 hours of Randi.

54. Why is it that liberal radio is asked not to attack
but have a "balanced" discussion.

What? The right gets to have 1600 radio stations attacking the left, but the left is supposed to give up half of its 4 station air time to support the right side of an arguement? They must think we just fell off the back of a turnip truck.

Edited on Wed Mar-31-04 04:26 PM by sonias
She is very comfortable on the air like a seasoned pro. Four hour show. I can't imagine doing a show for that long. She's got plenty of material though. My first time to listen to her. I like her.

Just joked about bu$h hiding behind those 2nd graders on 9/11. Yes he did. True leadership hiding with these kids.

Success to Air America for a successfull launch!! :toast:

um, she just said to the "anonymous" caller: "i can't get rid of you" she can't get him off the line...she's tried and can't hang up. he's calling from boca, she called him "my favorite caller" with a bit of something in her voice.

i've never listened to talk radio before (i know, i'm a student and don't have time) does anyone know this guy?

spooky...

lots of f*cked up calls so far.

81. He's a 'JNO regular.
'Anonymous from Boca.' He's been calling in to her for years, and he's a friend of hers.

She actually reacted more harshly to him than I expected she would.

79. he's a florida local who always called her old program on wjno
so, she's familiar with him. but the thing he said about rice clearly turned randi off and she let the caller know. what he said was not randi's style of politics at all, from what i've heard listening to her for a long time. she's more about researching and facts.

usually, randi doesn't give callers a whole lot of time. so she hangs up on them pretty quick and moves on. she has a fast paced show. hope this helps.

84. Not doing much for me...
She was off balance at the start, more worried about Air America's lack of promotion of her show then just entertaining and informing us.

Florida is shaped like a penis but there's no scrotum? Come on!

If this is her "typical" show, I may not be a long term listener.

94. I agree, I'll listen for a few weeks...
...but first impressions are often the one that last.

She should lose the Air America chip on her shoulder. She hits their lack of promotion, the buzz in her ear, the lack of stations, etc.

97. She has a point - her show is the anchor show - the
drive home show. She was given the best time slot and then no one even mentioned her name. By the way, Florida is sort of shaped like a penis without a scrotum.

She is pure New York brashness. I guess not everyone likes that. But she gets the truth out.

Edited on Wed Mar-31-04 05:10 PM by The Political Eye
However I don't think that bodes well as far as I sense the marketplace.

So far her show has not been very funny or politically insightful.

Having said that, I'll listen to her gladly vs the right wing blather on Boston's AM dial.

I listened to her while she streamed in Florida, and here I am again.

This is AMAZING! She is handing Ralph Nader his ass, and she is the only one brave enough to call out the 800-pound elephant in the middle of the living room!

Thanks to everyone who said to click on the Florida streaming. Ed Schultz does a good job, but he's no Randi!

Wooooooooo-hooooooooo, Randi!

115. Re: delays---I heard Randi's last show on WJNO yesterday...she
mentioned something about being on "drive time" all over--maybe this is deliberate way to put her in drive time across the country....She really is the key "documentor" here and know all the details on where the Bushistas bury all the bodies...

It's too bad she's delayed...but, on the other hand, to be on drive time rather than lost during the day in some markets, is probably a good move.

I may be wrong on this one, but that was the impression I got yesterday.

Please, no more attacks on Ralph Nader. He is a hero, and his done incredible things for car safety and the like. I bet if I were to look into every soul on this thread, I would find not a scintilla of activism that Nader has been in. Sure, him running is bad, but he means well.

Kerry is not my idea of a good President, but he is better then nothing. Bush is below nothing, with his sludgy, slimey dinasaur friends.

but all I think she was trying to say is that THIS election will be the most important election of our lifetime. We cannot afford to have it messed up. Any other year, go for it Ralph. But not this year. We cannot afford to have any votes siphoned off a Kerry candidacy.
