Guys, I’ve asked this before but so far–no reply.  You guys really need to get with the movement here IMHO.  I love Boortz, but I never listen to him on the radio anymore.  I do read the Nuze almost daily, but that’s not enough!  For the past year or two, when I’m in the car, I listen exclusively to podcasts. 

• I specify the programming.
• I set the schedule. 
• I can pause or rewind.
• Podcasts don’t fade under bridges, near power lines, or in cloudy weather like AM radio.
• There’s no endless repetition of irrelevant traffic reports!  (Seriously, if you are already stuck in it, why does it matter?)

Also you have the opportunity to join your peers.  A lot of great talk show hosts already have their daily shows “re-broadcast” so to speak, in podcast form.  Dennis Prager is my favorite of these, but there’s many others.  I think Townhall.com hosts a half dozen.

Tell your bosses that this is a new means of ad revenue!  Snip out the existing ad breaks, then run new ones in front of each episode or here and there throughout.  <snipped some further details on my own experiences here>

Please write me back, if only to say the management has no intentions on joining the Internet Age.  Then at least I know if I’m wasting my time.

Thanks a bunch, I’m a dedicated listener, or at least reader.
