I like to listen to Mark and Brian in the morning, Doctor Demento when I can find him, Doctor Dean Edell in the afternoon, BUT…
Phil Henry!!
I just started listening to his show last week, and my reactions were:
1st day-“My ghod, his guest is such an idiot!”
2nd day-“My ghod, two morons in a row?, Phil Henry is such an idiot!”
3rd day-light bulb flashing on “My ghod, I am such an idiot!!!”
The show is a beacon that attracts every stupid person in America-the clueless, the closeminded, the knee-jerkers.
I don’t have access to many syndicated shows. The only one I can get is Stern out of Toronto. His show starts at 3am our time…I’m up then, but rarely listen.
…yeah, Mark & Brian. Been listening to them for about ten years. Sometimes racist, sometimes sexist, usually sophomoric, often moving, almost always funny. Anyone who’s listened to them regularly know that they are good, caring people inside although lately, they’ve both been getting a little cantankerous.
I hate it when they go on vacation.
I had never really realized that she was/is a stand-up comedian. The first I had heard of her was that awful '80s “can we talk” thing. So what did I know? As far as I was concerned, all she did was make catty comments about Oscar dresses and hawk costume jewelry on QVC. But then I discovered her on radio. Damn, is she funny. (WOR from 6-8 pm, and syndicated elsewhere)

NPR’s “Wait Wait Don’t Tell Me” - Carl Kassel does some great imitations! (Once, when I was listening and driving, I laughed so hard that I wiped out a neighbor’s hedge and mailbox. Now I stay home when its on. Much safer for the neighbors and me.)
Phil Hendrie has been in LA for a while on KFI, and I think he went syndicated maybe a year ago. The show pissed me off until I figured out what was really going on (I’m more of an idiot than you - it took me more than 3 days :)). Now I think it’s hilarious, although it has its dull shows.
Dean Edell is only aired on weekend afternoons here in LA (also KFI), and I really like him. Just wish they aired him live, 'cause it would be a damn sight better than current weekday afternoon offerings in this market.
I used to be able to listen to Bob and Tom out of Hartford, but the station no longer carries it. It was the only syndicated show that was genuinely funny–Stern gets old after awhile.

Not on anymore, but I always got a terrific kick out of Art Bell.
