When my mother retired, she spent most days listening to Dennis Prager, Michael Medved, Rush Limbaugh, Sean Hannity, and some other talk radio programs. Then she would send me emails about what people were saying about the issues. That was her way of staying engaged in the world and current events.
Unfortunately my work schedule has ALWAYS prohibited me from listening to Rush except on holidays.
But in my afternoon drives I do frequently listen to Sean, Medved, and now my current favorite, Mark Levin.
