Plug for POTUS radio and Smirkonish (for I thinkers/voters)


Recommended Posts

Sirius's idiotic programmers offer P oTUS radio, in which the P stands for politics not president. It's got a cadre of independent radio hosts, the best of them is a former Philly talk show host named Michael Smirkonish, who is on from 10-12 with a replay in the evening drive.

 

I only bring it up if you're sick of right hosts vs left hosts in talk radio. Smirkonish is a true Independent. He admits his struggles with certain issues. He calls out the left and right for their hypocrisy. Great show (he is now also on cnn...haven't seen that).

 

The morning show is a good review of the news of the day. Not hard hitting but lighter with lots of direct footage of the news makers of the day with limited commentary. The weakest show is something called the Press Pool but even that's interesting as the (very liberal, regrettably) host has different reporters on and let's them talk about the stories they are covering. Fun to hear the reporters in their own voice talking about the news they cover.

 

If you like politics, relatively unfiltered, it's about as good as it gets.

 

They also play the streams of Jay Carney and other press briefings as they happen, which can be riveting to hear--the voices of the most inside people without the media spin.

 

They run a good radio feed called No Labels radio on Saturdays. Bob Edwards, Michael Steele, and others host shows.

 

Plug over. Station 124 on Sirius.
