    Ordway is at his best interviewing. He did a one-on-one with John Harrington years ago where he asked questions that no one else in the provincial Boston media would ask at the time.

    It's a shame he doesn't get more of a platform to do high-brow stuff, since he has the ability to hack it.

    (But, yeah, 30, you're right, his show is unlistenable on most days.)

    Yes and yes.

    As for the list, all I needed to see was JT The Brick as one of the honorable mentions. Most irritating person I have ever heard anywhere.

    Shoot, I remember when he got fired from 102.5 KDON in Salinas for dropping an F-bomb on the air. And I still have his stunt of stringing pantyhose across the Golden Gate Bridge on tape from my high school days.

    Clark Howard is the only one out of that 100 that I listen to on a regular basis.

    I can't watch or listen to Glenn Beck for more than 15 seconds without thinking of a high school sophomore who thinks he's smarter than everybody. The eye-rolling, the witty sarcasm. I want to punch him in the face.

    Call 'em by the name that Imus did when he was at WFAN -- Fatso and Fruit Loops.

    I think his radio show is even better.

    He's still good, but not as good as when he had reason to take a national focus.

    His radio show is a caricature of what it used to be.
     
  12. I miss Don and Mike out of DC. They're awesome, but they're not played in my area.
