  • Guests talk too long

    I’ve been listening for years. But lately the guests ( on the Magnum) talk way too much. I like to hear the callers, not comedians or writers yapping about boring topics. It’s like half the show sometimes. I skip through the quirky guests and his political rants at top of show.
