Al Franken is an extremely funny guy, but he's a horrible radio host. They should have gotten someone with some actual radio experience.

Quote of the Day II

"It's not like we're here to say we're going to be as nasty as right-wingers. On the left, traditionally, you've got a nicer type of person. You've got a person who is more willing to engage in conversations that have context and nuance, who tend to have more educable minds" -- actress and talk radio host Janeane Garafalo explaining why Air America, the liberal talk radio network that debuts today, will be a success.

Quote of the Day III

"My first priority is to get sued by a right-wing jerk in order to generate interest in my new show" -- Al Franken, Air America cohost, demonstrating the principle of enlightened liberal radio.

Just tune into the rest of AM talk radio for that.

You get XM to listen to talk radio? You need to be shot with extremely large caliber weapons.

 

[Karsten]

Another reason not to get XM

Since Liz Winstead co-created The Daily Show, I hope to see "The Daily Show" style become adopted.

Wow... XM... they did not even rate an AM station. Even Art Bell was on AM radio.

This thing will die faster than Cop Rock... I wonder if anyone remembers that television disaster.

Never said it wasn't a good idea to listen to the other side. With the exception of Fox News name 1 other 'conservitive' station. and just because they have Rush or O'Reilly once a day does not make it a conservitive station.

can u get that radio show on a regular radio??? or is it just for XM
