I appreciate AM radio is dead/dying, but do they really need to cycle through Medicare aged guys during the one time of the year people may listen?

Is there not one youngish person out there who can host competent Bears talk?

Nope, not a one.

Mac dropped an interesting tidbit on facebook yesterday, namely, how frustrated he was that Nick Shepkowski had all the talent in the world for hosting sports radio but never took it upon himself to get some vocal training, nor did anyone in management assign it to him. It's nice that Mac cares that much, and he's right; Shep beat Les in a trivia contest one time but also sounded like a pimply teen every time he cracked a mic, and he's like my age.


I would put Shep well behind Finfer and Zawaski, both in terms of content and delivery.

I always thought Joe O had a decent enough presentation to be a long term host but he fell back on being the gambling guy who talks about gambling and hey, here are some bets about sportsball because I love gambling.

A WSCR radio host is akin to a bicycle, as a bicycle can be two of three things: lightweight, sturdy, and cheap. It cannot be all three. A radio host can be a combination of knowledgeable, entertaining, and likable, but never all three. Somehow management decided no host will provide any of these things.
