The GOP hold on most of American radio seems pretty unshakable, but Democrats must get into the talk-radio game before ever more damage is done.

    No one who wants to hear what the left-of-right has to say listens to talk radio, but everyone who needs to hear it listens to talk radio.

      Is an NPR program like 1A talk radio? I listen to that and many people who are traveling often do. It’s not leftist, but it’s decidedly anti-fascist simply by reporting the truth and bringing on experts to explain things. Two co-workers of mine have told me that they used to listen to NPR before “it got all political”- meaning they heard things they didn’t want to be true. That’s a bit of a tangent but these two people wouldn’t listen to Rush Limbaugh or whoever took his toilet throne.

      I assume since podcasts aren’t on the radio they don’t count as talk radio right? But discussion podcasts have blown talk radio away and there are so many flavors to choose from.
