Survey: What's your favorite show on Air America
I know this is premature, but judging from what you've heard so far, what's your favorite show. I'm not a donor, so I can't do polls. Just name the show you like the most.

2. Randi Rhodes
Randi Rhodes is a riot!

Followed up by Janeane Garofolo.

Franken is informed, but a bit boring and repetitive and his co-host isn't very memorable.

8. Al, Randi, Janeane - Equally.
Each delivers the liberal agenda with a different perspective and tone.

13. My thoughts exactly--but that's what I like about...
...Air America--it offers a greater variety of viewpoints, styles and temperaments--for all tastes, all with tons of informed intelligence and wit. Infinitely superior to the one-note, lockstep, dittohead screeching from those on right-wing radio.

so far.

But only because Janeane seems more polished than Al right now. I'm sure he'll catch up.

16. O'Franken, definitely!
But that's the only one I've heard! :silly:

Does this qualify as an April Fool's joke? ;)

They are great. I am keen to listen to Will Pitts show. I wonder how much DU will end up there. I bet a lot.

21. Randi, Janeane, and Chuck D
i dig Unfiltered. Chuck D has a way of simplifying things where it seems just stupid to not have thought of it first. the other two co-hosts are cool, but too bad i don't got their names down as well.

Randi is a real professional veteran of talk-radio and it shows.

Janeane has a lot of personality and i believe this'll keep her show going strong.

Al though, i have my misgivings. he's rebelling already about personalized ads (which is funny) but then tends to ramble in circles. it's a bit unfocused. he needs to either open it up to phone calls more, or work his show on nitpicking to death right-wing reports the day before. i believe he's better at calculated argument and satire than freeform pontificating like Randi. it'd be great if he just based his show on exposing the nonsense of right-wing shows from the day before - it'd be engaging (with his humor) and crushing to their credibility. he needs to flesh out who he wants to be on the radio.

23. Randi
She has the most experience and it shows. She knows how to keep the show moving and can riff for hours without breaking a sweat.

The others will get better. Franken sounded better today than yesterday. I still find myself listening to Democracy Now during Franken's first hour.

I don't understand why they don't utilize some of the strong lib radio talent like Malloy, Bernie Ward or Ed Schultz. Maybe use them in conjunction with personalities like Franken.

Just my 2 cents.
