I have tried but have come to the conclusion I can't listen.  Have switched to John Oakley on 640AM which is the best of the two but not great either.
Also I miss Jim Richards and hope he is doing well.

Now Jerry Agar is using Mark Towhey as an “expert”, this time on the China-Two Michaels issue.
Towhey is no journalist, and it’s obvious: his facts are wrong, but accepted as the truth by Agar, e.g.

• the dates and locations of the two trials
• the number of foreign representatives at each of the trials
• who was there for Canada (ambassador is actually in Canada)

Coupled with the canned hourly news “updates” from a network that has no correspondents!!!!
Sinclair, Parnaby, (Dave) Agar – this is their legacy?
 

Shurman is a great talkshow host, has great broadcasting experience, and does not tolerate fools - gladly or otherwise.

Brings to mind the "Station-on-hold" that Word Perfect (remember?) used to run about 30 years ago.
Not OTA, but hey, "unusual".

Agreed. Question is: what are this host’s qualifications to host a “national” radio show to provide critical information during a crisis.
How far can you ride having been an assistant to a certain disaster of a mayor?
Shameful indeed.

Moore has been auditioning for his spot for years.

And he’d be a perfect fit.....and would be freed from what he refers to as “the racetrack” - the incessant stream of commercials that private broadcasters need to survive.
Also, because he handles long-form interviews extremely well, he’d be able to branch out.
But I wouldn’t bet on it: Bell Media would be crazy to let him go.

Available for 30 days on BBC iplayer (vpn required).

For me, "live" radio is it, but here are some interesting radio stories sites:

Short Story Radio
Old Radio World
Storytelling Radio
Storytime Treasure Chest
