Reviews

4.6 out of 5 stars from 35 ratings
  • Cincy favorite conservative talk show

    Brian Thomas’ morning talk show has been a Cincinnati favorite for years. while Cincinnati oriented, Brian also covers important world/national news stories, viewed from his conservative/libertarian perspective. Brian’s uniqueness among his peers is that he is the ultimate “reasonable man”. He presents his views with faultless compelling logic, with humor, without a hint of rancor. And you will find that he’s dead-balls-on accurate.

  • No context.

    Annoying voice too. He sounds like he thinks he had a hot voice. He doesn’t.
