Derek is so very funny and witty! Wmal has found a new winner. And, i’m sorry, but he outshines everyone else. I talk radio right now I’m sorry Mark Levine, this guy is the mew Tush!
Skip the grifter and listen to this guy, (he has his own podcast too, which covers similar material, but with the much needed addition of cussing on the regular lately).
Derek brings a no nonsense show, with more humility than Levin or Hannity. No, he’s not Rush, but he’s a darn sight better than all the millionaires out there tossing out “facts” then backpedaling… Good info, good guests, and entertaining to boot!
Derek is one of the best, most talented voices in the conservative fermanent. So glad one can listen to the show via iTunes!
