Reply #11: Neither of them are great radio people [View All]

I agree with most of their opinions, and I quite like both of them but it's not a very compelling program to listen to. Too much bickering, they both struggle at times to articulate their points of view and get lost going off on tangents.

Usually I listen to Randi and then gradually lose interest and drift away when they come on.

You can tell Randi is the real radio professional. Yes, she does get snippy with guests and callers sometimes, and she talks herself up quite a lot, but she's edgey, articulate, funny and knows how to steer her way through a talk break without losing her place, or her pace.

I was enjoying Mike Malloy -- another well-practised radio pro -- until he started making ridiculous criticisms of Wes Clark. That's a deal breaker for me.

(edit: changing enjoyed to enjoying)
