No Jay Severin for me, thanks just the same. Jay's annoying, a martini bar kind of guy.
Howie Carr knows Boston's politicians and hoodlums (often one and the same). He actually broadcasts from Boston, unlike Jay. Howie is a regular guy, no pretensions. And very funny.
Jay broadcasts from the Boston area too. He is always doing live broadcasts from local restaurants and bars.
I listen to Howie, too, except for when he has dopey recurring topics like "Disgusting things you found in your food at a restaurant." He is at his best when talking about local political stuff, no doubt, and he has a certain self-depricating ("I didn't come here to be made sport of" and "I beg your pardon" when people critique him) charm that is sincere and whimsical. The weekly segments with Sandy (police blotter) and Chris Wallace are generally stellar.
lol, he sounds like a metrosexual trying to be a republican.
