Sirius for my eclectic mix of musical urges (see Nate's Music Tastes thread) and NASCAR Radio, which is when I'm in the car and at work if I'm stuck to my desk (rare once we get busy). Otherwise ESPN Radio. No more talk radio for the Swamp.

One thing I wish Sirius had was a censored (read work safe or kid safe) version of their stations, which is ironically exactly what satellite radio was getting away from. I listen to Octane a lot and like their selection along with the lack of commercials, but when I'm here or at home it has to be low for the potty words that pop up. Octane Safe is what I'm looking for!

I used to listen to Stern but after my 5yo was born the "retard" jokes and bits went from just being unfunny to really rubbing me the wrong way. I'm demented enough to find a lot of his stuff funny, though. Even Bubba. Although I think Bubba tries too hard to out-gross himself. I haven't listened to either one of them in quite awhile.

I hear ya Swamp (don't think that 3rd person reference didn't go unnoticed either)....I can imagine your reaction to that stuff. Being open-minded only goes so far.

Mike and Mike? The Herd? I can't listen to Mike Tirico - and I could never make it to the Dan Patrick Show anyway - after a full morning of regurgitating the same lame topics.

I used to like Eric K (sports bash) more than any of them....I like when he fills in for Greenie.

It's funny (funny odd, not funny hah hah ), make fun of me, my appearance, what I'm wearing, my hair or general lack thereof, my smoky, smelly "chick colored" girly wagon, whatever, and I can deal with it. But when there's a connection to one of your kids, I don't know how to explain it, it just hits you different. I gives you a knot in your stomach, I just want to squeeze him and never let him go. Shelter him forever. He really is his best advocate, as a 5yo he probably has better name and face recognition than our mayor. But free speech is free speech whether it offends you or not. I just choose not to listen/watch/read.

But I digress, as far as ESPN radio (when I have to listen to an actual radio radio ), I make it through Mike & Mike and the Herd and then I switch over to the local rock station and that finishes off the work day. I don't listen to anything after Colin. I do like Kuselias. While I enjoy watching him on NASCAR Now on ESPN2 (a move which I thought was strange at the time but does seem to be going well), I do miss listening to him on the radio.

I like the local WX AWOS-3 info I get on 118.375.
Also, the services provided out of Ft. Worth ARTCC on 124.75.
