The Philips Phile

I’ve been a listener since the late 90’s and still think it’s one of the most entertaining programs on radio. The show has taken on a more political flavor of late, which has more to do with the daily headlines than the show attempting to make a political statement. Jim is an unashamed Progressive, but often defends a more conservative viewpoint if he believes it correct. So glad he’s going to be around another year.

Jim Philips is an Orlando institution. He will be missed.

Have been a long time listener, 1/3 of my entire life I’ve spent listening to this program. They have become friends which I’ll never meet. Now that the Phile is over and Jim is retired all I’ll have is these podcasts for memories.

The phile was once a great show. They followed the Ed Till show and Jim pickup where Ed left off on matters of local and state politics and going on’s behind the backs of the people. But then XM Radio came on the scene followed by IHeartRadio and jim lost all objectiveness and balance. He along with his bootlicking crew became the democratic version of Rush and Sean Hanaity. No fact allowed. No difference of opinion allowed. Jim will shout you down then Hang up on you. Just like other political HACK shows. Don’t forget the games. Always a game to fill airtime instead of intelligent and interesting conversation I was so looking forward to you leaving. But that’s on hold for one more year. A listener sense 1996. Bye Jim
