The Randi Rhodes Show

Randi is a liberal superstar. I have liked her since her Air America days. I’d give 5 more stars if I could. Love you more, Randi.

I listen to so many political podcasts and Randi’s is absolutely one of the best. She knows US politics/government and who has voted for what legislation. She knows the history of this country and the history of the world’s relationship to this country. She reads all the papers every day, and she is better informed and smarter than many of the very well paid cable news show hosts. Do yourself a favor and listen to this brilliant woman.

What used to be a decent program has descended into an awful mess. Rhandi list a step or two. She’s not cutting edge any longer. She’s just another blow hard talking head. I miss the WJNO days.

Randi’s appeal has been her ability to be on top of her game with pertinent facts at her fingertips. Additionally, she explains those facts more concisely than anyone I’ve ever listened to over the air. However, of late she forgets what she’s told listeners on prior podcasts, claims only she knows certain information because everyone else has forgotten it, and often berates her producer - poor Brett :( - which makes her show impossible to listen to daily (or all the way thru), since I’m not down with her disparaging him the way she sometimes does. Still, I’m giving her four stars. Even with these obvious flaws, she’s head and shoulders above her peers. Her knowledge base is deeper and broader than anyone in broadcast radio or TV. In these ways she is an absolute gem. And while she’s now open to admitting her opinion(s) can be incorrect, I just wish Randi would handle some of her dissenting callers with more aplomb and give poor Brett a well-deserved break or two.
