I'm glad McIntyre's back b/c I really enjoyed his insights and sense of humor. However, I'm somewhat concerned because he's coming back in syndicated fashion. Syndication, in my opinion, ruined the Larry Elder Show. Before he went national, Larry was this relentlessly critically thinking Libertarian who took great joy in skewering the assortment of race hustlers who occupy positions of notoriety here in So Cal. When he went national, however, he became a Republican apologist.
I started listening to AM radio because of Larry Elder. Once he was being heard from coast-to-coast, I think he lost me within 6 weeks.
Hopefully the same will not be true of McIntyre.

Have to agree with you on this.
Right now the only talk radio I listen to, when I listen to it, is Dennis Prager's show.
