He has become one of the great interviewers of his generation.

He has evolved his on air persona from shock jock to something more closely aligned to the guy who wrote and acted in Private Parts which was a touching tribute to his first wife. He is smarter, better informed, and better prepared for interviews than most in media. He gets people to really open up.

I hope it frees up Sirius money to buy other programming. When I first signed up, there were 3 public radio 3Hotdogs Aug 2025 #42

Don't know why anyone would pay for Sirius womanofthehills Aug 2025 #51

I pay for Sirius because I spend hours a week in the car. Years ago, I bought a "lifetime" subscription for around $300+ 3Hotdogs Aug 2025 #59

There's also Canadian Broadcasting public Radio 1 on Channel 169: news, culture, commentary Bernardo de La Paz Aug 2025 #61

That might be the show "The Debaters". Still runs once a week, half hour. . . . nt Bernardo de La Paz Aug 2025 #64
