I don't comment very much, but I listen to an insane amount of AAR, I never listened to the radio before AAR, I mean that NEVER EVER, listened to ANY radio. Pointless endeavor.

Now I have been a premium member for as long as AAR has had it, since I can only listen through podcast or on-line, I do podcasts and Sammy Cam when I have access to it when he's on, which is not enough.

Currently I would rank the Shows/hosts I don't miss.

Sam Seder, my favorite.

Solid and hard to choose, Thom Hartmann, Ring of Fire Crew, Rachel Maddow, David Bender.

Slightly less, Clout, I listen everyday and it is good mostly. I love that Greg Palast is on there a lot, so the more good/credible info we can get out there and learn from the better.

I don't listen to anyone else, however whenever Sam Seder or Marc Maron would Guest host shows I do not regularly listen to I would get those podcasts as well.

It seems to me that Sam is incredibly popular with AAR listeners, Sam has a real talent with getting into the under-reported news with great regularity. He does it so naturally and frequently that I believe it's almost an intangible that make him so appealing to me and your other listeners. He also has great range from comedic to the deadly serious, and can balance it all without extremes.

Honestly business-wise I have not understood some AAR choices, it almost seems like Sam Seder and Marc Maron have been unfairly treated because their not pretentious kiss-asses, it's just how it seems. It just make no rational sense to not have them on AAR as much as possible.
