I enjoy high quality talk radio with\u00a0hosts who not only reinforce my conservative instincts, but sharpen my perspective as well. I’m also a Sirius satellite radio addict, and I listen to Sirius Patriot whenever I get a chance. There are some good hosts out there, but my 2 favorites are exclusive to Sirius-XM, Mike Church at 9 AM and Andrew Wilkow at noon (EST). Opposite personalities aside, these guys do their homework and have a knack for getting to the bottom of things. Church can articulate the Constitution and the founding principles of this country as well as anyone I know. Wilkow has a way with the language; his ZERO LIABILITY VOTER concept reduces human nature, politics, and economics into 3 simple words. Both entertain along the way, and do a great job reducing the complex to the understandable. And by the way, if you don’t have satellite radio, Sirius offers a free trial at its website so you can see what you’re missing.<\/p>\n
As a university professor, I’m always in search of the perfect way to make a point. Every now and then these guys\u00a0just seem to nail down a topic perfectly.\u00a0I usually just enjoy the moment because their comments are event specific and just wouldn’t have the same effect a day or week later. Andrew Wilkow had one of these moments when a caller engaged him about a healthcare entitlement. The poor guy never had a chance. As the healthcare debate continues, this 3-minute exchange just keeps getting better. It’s a great combination of passion and logic. Check out the link in the blogroll.<\/p>\n
Mike Church had one of those moments this past Wednesday. At the bottom of the first hour\u00a0he swerved into a brilliant\u00a04-minute\u00a0explanation of\u00a0capitalism, one that explained the complexities of the “invisible hand” and other concepts in everyday language. I dropped Mike a short email congratulating him on this effort and told him I’d like my students to hear the audio. He graciously linked me to an MP3, which I have posted on both my university class websites and the blogroll. If you’re a die-hard capitalist like I am, you’ll definitely appreciate it. If \u00a0not, do yourself a favor and listen. The light bulb might go off.<\/p>\n
Thanks to Mike and Andrew for the work they do. The more the left rails about talk radio, the better they get.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
