You are my inspiration

Thanks Jay you have inspired me to get out and do something to help others on the national and world scale.

Actually listen to criticism

Update: I actually feel like a lot of the concerns I listed have been addressed in one way or another. If anyone from the JayMac team is reading this thank you for listening.

I used to love this show. I used Podcasting rather than radio to listen since I wasn’t able to listen during the broadcast. Eventually circumstances changed and I was able to listen live. I really enjoyed the show and would even call in, but since the producer change I just haven’t enjoyed the show as much. It’s been a few months, but I’ve noticed my commentary doesn’t matter anymore. On top of that I had to switch back to podcasting and the podcast is updated infrequently. This was a great show, and you may enjoy it, but it doesn’t seem to desire a diversity of audience anymore which is unfortunate since that’s what got my attention in the first place. I hope I can come back to it eventually.

Fearless Honesty

I am a very big fan of JayMac’s Show.
I find Jay’s opinions to be well thought out, reasonable, and principled. He is absolutely not one to put a finger in the air to see which way the wind is blowing.
I also like that humor is part of the show (often at the expense of his millennials. -all in good fun. Gustavo’s watching the World Cup seems to be the new favorite target.)
The “Presidential News Review at 2” , with a new compelling reason to do it each day is must listening. I like the new feature of tracking the # of tweets POTUS makes by topic.
JayMac also has commentaries airing on other KSL shows.
