Fair points made there are some people at least here in Oz bought up in the era of radio that still live for the evening talk back particularly those that reminisce.Less is more. The post in another thread was a joke.
There may be some lonely people among their listeners too, although I discounted that as a big factor because there so many other ways to talk to people through Internet means or new forms of entertainment more attractive than talk radio.
And if you were lonely I don't think you would want to listen or phone-in and talk to a bitter middle-aged woman with the voice of a Victorian era child prostitute.
Not my bag mind you and sounds like its not yours also no matter who is hosting the show but they do me no harm so I am not going to say much about their preferences.
As for her voice I wouldn't know albeit if its hard on the ear again her time will be short on air but if she bitter and always whinging I wouldn't think she will have an audience of note for too long.
Back on the subject the latest spiel in the media about the naming of Megan's second child shouldn't be newsworthy in my opinion perhaps media just looking to promote a " perceived " divide until the next sound bite comes along.
Eventually they may by mutual consent agree to drop their titles but again I personally don't care in the scheme of things I think their are more important matters to debate , address and resolve in this world but who knows I might be wrong.
