I am avid sports talk show listener. For me Herd is the best. Past 2 years, I have been listening to him while commuting to work and I find him very good. Dude is a straight shooter.... He ain't a asskisser like Dan Patrick and Jim Rome. I also listen to Loose Cannons while heading back home. When they don't have good guests, i switch to Phony Dudes Mason and Ireland. I find Lee Klien and his headlines very informative... Joe and Doug used to be great show but they are history now. DWI bro, I used to listen to 660 and 710 while I was there and was a regular to Mike and the Mad Dog. Mad Dog, a San Fran Giants fan, is hillarious, I used to side with Mike on everything :=) NY has the great talk show personalities like Steve Somers, Joe Beningo, John Sterling, Suzan Waldman(???) and Sid Hernandez. I can't recall other names now :=) Murthy, an Indian-American, used to be a Yankees Beat Reporter and used to ebing all sorta interesting new related to Yankees.... Do callers like Jerome from Manhattan and Doris from Rego Park/Forest Hills still calls??? I don't enjoy local talk shows that much here in SOCAL area, they keep dissing my Yankees all the time... If they win becuase of their payrool, when they lose they keep harping money can't win championships.... these ppl can't get enuf of the Yankees, i am sure that is the case in US ;) knightcrawler if you are in LA don't forget to listen to Loose Cannons. They got their own version of Michael Vick (Mycal Thompson and Vic the brick).. Mike and Mike is a good show but it's too early for me :=)
