I am a big radio talk show fan. I prefer local talk shows on local issues but they seem to becoming less and less common to be replaced by national shows. I am guessing it is a matter of money.
The really don't like the national shows much as they pretty much seem to be the same every day, complaining about one political party though there are a couple with at least some variety.
I am curious if radio talk shows are popular outside the US.
The early talk shows must have been very unusual. In the early days, they did not have the technology, for whatever reason, to allow the audience to listen to the caller. I have no idea how they were able to conduct a show that made any sense.
It is kind of funny that I am now a talk show junky. I remember my father listening to them in the car when I was a kid. I always wondered why he would not listen to music! Now here I am, listening to those talk shows.
