Sirius XM Radio

It's okay to like Howard Stern. It doesn't make you a bad person, nor unsophisticated, nor immature.

It's okay to not like Howard Stern, too. But that doesn't make you a better person, nor more sophisticated, nor more mature.

I'd recommend giving his show a chance, if you have access to it. Most Stern-haters I encounter don't have a very accurate perception of what goes on, which is, pretty much, a few people sitting around and talking. I can understand enjoying it, and can understand being bored by it, but I always have trouble understanding having dramatic negative feelings about "a few people sitting around and talking".

I've seen his show on TV when traveling. A few minutes is all I can tolerate. Not going to bother with the radio show.

I used to listen to him in the pre Sirius days- WNBC / WFAN in the evening "rush" hour. I listened for the traffic reports since they actually had a helicopter flying around instead of a simply a feed from someplace- the reports were slightly better. Howard Stern- lots of bathroom humor- not my style. The girl he had working with him (Robin Givins?) was just there to laugh.
 
I just sent this in to XM today:

I have xm weather/radio on my Garmin 396. I travel A LOT (between my airplane and ground bound vehicles I travel about 100,000 miles a year). My 396 is always with me when I'm traveling and I'm almost always listening to XM (or NPR).

My two favorite stations are deep tracks and bluesville.

So, I'm cruising down the highway listening to Earl Bailey today on Deep Tracks and I notice that I'm hearing many of the same tunes (or tune-age as Earl would say) as I heard about a week ago. I thought to myself, "Earl, dude, you're getting into a rut".

After about an hour I realized that Earl wasn't getting into a rut...no...I was listening to the exact same show that I listened to about a week ago.

So my question is...

was this a mistake

or

are you guys now running repeat shows?

Please let me know because if it's the latter I'm really disappointed.

(end of feedback e-mail)

I know xm runs repeats of guest shows like Tom Petty's buried treasure but I've never caught a repeat of a regular DJ's show before. Has anyone else?
 
Ehhh, XM is like regular radio -- someone else making the choices.

I'll stick to my iPod. Some of the channels, like the Dead channel and the Springsteen channel, are ok, but I like being my own DJ.
