Are you willing to wait on hold for 15-60 minutes to talk for at most 2-3 on the radio?

Why are you so cared? Especially as someone who is an avid gambler and stat guy? In Illinois you have a .1% chance of catching this(ok maybe a bit higher if you factor the lack of testing), now take that subset and you have even a fraction of .1% of passing away from this.

Are you here to help Julie doxx all of us like she threatened to do in an interview with the Athletic?

context to juice's post from an article jon greenberg did on the atheltic about julie, camp, conor and shoo:

Quote:

“As of right now, I can’t imagine doing anything other than talk radio, but I also recognize that this isn’t the greatest time to get hired, so I really don’t know what comes after that,” she wrote. “There are still a couple of investigative podcasts I want to do, one sports-related, one not: focused on identifying, exposing and publicly shaming posters in an 800 page thread on a Chicago sports fan site (THIS SITE IS WHAT SHE IS TALKING ABOUT). So maybe I’ll find someone to pay me to do that.”

parkins posts and half of the responses are seeking him to badmouth a former employee.

Bad mouthing other employees was part of what made the station great back in the day. The Murphy - Boers feud carried on for how long?

If you want to look at when the station started to alienate people, hiring someone who hated the main listener demographic was a final fuck you if you don't like it push the button moment.

3) Callers. Yes, I enjoy callers less than most of you seem to, but not for the reasons most seem to be outlining. We get way less than the old days. We get literally 1500+ text messages per show and depending on the topic and how much we push it we can get 10,000. Think of your life. Are you willing to wait on hold for 15-60 minutes to talk for at most 2-3 on the radio? Research back in the day showed 1% of your audience would call. It’s much much much smaller now because people have better things to do and other ways to interact with the station that take way less time. So the quality of the caller has plummeted. Also, we can filter the texts and tweets and read the funniest, smartest, dumbest, most helpful, etc as opposed to having to take 7 or 8 calls to get one good one.

Now, could we do better? Sure. We could do better at everything we do. But I’ll admit that I find caller driven shows to be mostly lazy. When I did my Sunday night CBS show it’s solo and the bosses are from NYC so they like callers. I’d do a monologue and people would call and react. It’s fine. It’s just not that challenging and so much gets repeated. As a listener I tune in for the hosts, producers, and guests. Hopefully they are all professional communicators. It doesn’t mean calls can’t be funny and good and provide unscripted gold, they can. And it is something that differentiates radio from podcasts, I just find the juice to not be worth the squeeze 9 out of 10 times we go to the phones.

Regular callers used to be part of the show. Maybe you would get a few good ones if you actually welcomed calls. No one calls because no one welcomes them. No one is saying just open the phone lines for 4 hours a day, but not taking any sends a message that you don't care about the listeners. Picking and choosing texts to read doesn't count.

How about when Dan Bernstein actively told people on the Score to dox the "OK" guy from the Cubs game? That is when I stopped all listening to the station.

I too wish someone from the station would repudiate DiCaro-ism.

Last question, what's the deal with Nick Wright?

Pink Floyd lost a giant when he passed.
