move to Cuba?

To me, sheer entertainment is a secondary reason to listen to talk radio. I don't want it boring, but a lot of what some hosts do is just designed as human interest, and usually it loses my interest. Sometimes it's okay -- Laura Ingraham took the formula from Don Imus of interacting with her producer and others and it works somewhat for her since she's engaging.

But usually I want the host to either give good commentary or get on a good interviewer or a good caller.

Medved is really good at engaging with hostile callers in a way that educates the listeners. He tries hard to educate the callers but it's obvious most of them have closed minds.

I remember one guy who called Medved and said Cuba was a better country than the US. Turns out he was some type of skilled worked, electrician or something like that. So Medved asked him why he didn't move to Cuba -- after all, they could no doubt use someone with his skills.

He hung up.

So much for putting his body where his mouth is. Yet I have no doubt that he still likes to run down America and praise Castro and Cuba!

But move there? Err . . . no, it's more fun to just talk about Cuba.
