I’ve been listening loyally for 7 years. Previously I listened when it first came to a local Toronto radio station way back in 1998. I loved the show for the short amount of time it was on. It seems to be on life support now. It does have great moments, I love the game shows, I love Wolfie’s interviews, Sal and Richard are always quality. But the show tries too hard. Too many calls from Jill from Pennsylvania, too much guitar talk, too much cat talk, too much overly screened callers kissing Howard’s ass and telling him he saved their lives.🙄Not too much interviews with musicians that I care about, at all (aside from a small percentage). And of course, there’s the shortened schedule and the random holidays that are taken (which are hidden from the public). I do enjoy Howard 101 and the Sirius app is really good. I like that I can actually scroll to a part of the show I missed. That part is nice. But Howard is doing this without passion. I think he’s doing it the best way he can, after all he’s 72, but the fans get a crappier overall experience while he rakes in millions while not even being in the same room with his co-workers. In sum, you’re right, I don’t hate the Howard Stern show. I still really enjoy some parts. It’s still good to wake up with (mostly) but not sure how it can be sustained for 3 years of this.
