The News Junkie

Best daily listening since Rush Limbaugh melted

I had found certain parts of this "The News Junkie" to had been vulgar (or profane), unnecessary, negative, and detrimental (especially toward certain parts of it I had found to had been interesting).

I just don’t understand how people keep listening to Shawn Wasson. I used to listen in the beginning years and really enjoyed how fun the show was but now Shawn has become someone who thinks his listeners that disagree with him are stupid and are not educated and do not have a valid opinion. Honestly at this point I feel like Shawn just likes listening to himself speak and the smell of his own farts. Real Radio should put Shawn back on 5 am by himself and let Angel or Ryan from the Monsters move to the Midday. Shawn needs a podcast where he listens to himself speak

Unfortunately the days of Sabrina’s funny voices, Shawn’s light hearted and comical political takes, and C-Lane introspective middle ground takes…are gone. No more sketches, no more joke segments…just political volleyball. The show is no longer friends discussing topics, it’s Shawn telling everybody the “right” answer where he qualifies himself because he considers himself educated through the news. He has become painfully arrogant. I’d love to see a chart with his use of calling people are professionals in their field “losers” that he disagrees with. It’s his new pretentious catch phrase. I agree with Shawn’s politics but he has become a bitter, know-it-all man who immediately dismisses opinions despite previously allowing Sabrina and C-Lane equal opportunity to disagree. Increasingly he says “Ya…but…” to literally everything and has to have the last word. It’s unbearable. The only parts of the show I listen to now are “The Next Episode with Sarina” and “This week in Florida with C-Lane”. (I also liked the Trivia segments but he’s moved onto better things). Sad to see people I spent my early adulthood listening to be overshadowed by the grump old man, Shawn, who used to despise talking head podcasts that acted the way he has adopted now. Truly sad to say goodbye. I actually hear Shawn’s voice interrupting my review and trying to have the last word with a concerned long-time fan and Secret Shows subscribe like me. Just because he wants to argue. Ugh.
