Some years ago host Ken Hamblin dubbed talk radio "the Voice of the Real America..."

And I firmly believe he was dead-on correct. I listen to the local show besides the "big voices" like Rush & Hannity, and you know what? I hear real people, real concerns, and honest opinions... and a lot of stuff that will never be voiced on television, or in national papers. Not because it's rude or wrong or bigoted, but because it doesn't fit the left-wing template of the mainstream media.

Talk radio ( charmingly called "talkback radio" in Australia... ) gives a voice to all us folks in flyover country who are held in such disdain by some.

Back in the '60s and '70's, when I started listening to the radio, WERE in Cleveland used the phrase "talk back radio".
