I got sick and tired of many of these shows doing nothing but hawking their new, better than anything, rip-off consumables. Whether it be repackaged Snapple ice tea or Chinese water purifiers made from lead by the leading scientist in overseas space travel!

That and the over the top, self promotion in order to make them feel better about themselves. We understand you are certainly the smartest human to have lived. You have rubbed elbows with many people actually making changes in the world and you let us know this daily. The fact that you and Marconi have actually conquered the world by beaming your voice to various receivers throughout the world.... Well. The United States.

It got old quick.

The lesson that Streaming Radio has learned is how insulting it is to the listener to incorporate advertising into the programming.

Demand for Rush, et al, is obviously there. The primary revenue stream is still, likely, the radio spectrum. EIB knows it is insulting the listener.

Unfortunately part of the nature of talk is ego and these guys and gals have plenty of it.
