Are you a fan of talk radio? Any particular genre? Politics? Sports? Religion? Humor? Or would you rather listen to something else? Have you ever phoned in to a talk radio show to voice your opinion? What's your favorite talk radio show? What show or host really annoys you?

I never understood it myself. Listening to people express their opinion on subjects that range from World politics to a rubber duck. The guys like Howard Stern are not funny to me. The Political guys like Limbaugh are way to opinionated, and the sports guys, if they were just announcing highlights and scores, that would be awesome. But these guys get into why a pitchers 98 MPH fast ball went 97 MPH for one throw, I'm not that big into sports.

I miss morning radio music. I can't find it anymore so I have to plug in the phone.

MSgt Robert Pellam, I've concluded that the sports radio talking heads get "it" wrong just as often as they get it right, despite their vast experience. I enjoy sports, especially collegiate football, but I don't even turn on the radio (or TV) until kick off!

Love NPR News. The depth of coverage they provide is unmatched in audio/visual media news. I also like the interviews on Radio Times by Marty Moss-Coane. She prepares very well for each interview, asking pointed questions of her guests and having productive, informative conversations. Fresh Air with Terry Gross is another good interview show. Terry, like Marty, gets personal with her guests and you walk away from the show knowing more about the person.

I enjoy listening to NPR on the way to PT Aand the way home at night. Sometimes they have a show on that is about some sort of science and I learn something....and sometimes it is politics and I get a good laugh out of the liberals.

My car radio is set to pick up: Rush Limbaugh, Sean Hannity and Dave Ramsey. How do I lean politically?

I actually listen to the Adam Carolla podcast every day. Not exactly "talk radio" but similar.

I enjoy it because it's non-formatted, has special guests, is relatively free form, and if he feels like ranting he does. Politics, sports, religion, humor, etc come up. The guests are from all walks of life, and it keys my curiosity, which lets me explore new concepts, much like my friends here at RP. In essence, there is no real agenda.

CH (MAJ) William Beaver, I use to listen to car talk, and now I listen to Howard Stern on my satellite radio when I need a break from the news channels. I have never called in either. Road trips go a little bit better with an interesting topic being discussed.
