The GOP hold on most of American radio seems pretty unshakable, but Democrats must get into the talk-radio game before ever more damage is done.

They tried with air America and it was ok but not really all that compelling. Truth and facts just don’t sell like toxic divisive fantasies.
Isn’t that how we got the national treasure that is Rachel Maddow?
It needed better talent. Thom Hartmann was the sole survivor because he’s actually listenable. Randi Rhodes and Ron Reagan were just shit. But progressive talk can be done well. Stephanie Miller is hilarious when she has the right crew, but she has a penchant for self-owning. She gave us John Fugelsang, who is just brilliant.
Love Thom Hartmann; listen to his podcast these days. I remember trying to listen to Randi Rhodes way back when, and…I just remember it being kind of headache-inducing. I also listen to Fugelsang’s podcast now too…
