Shock Jocks: Peter B. Collins Interviews Rory O’Connor (Audio)
Rory O’Connor discusses his new book, Shock Jocks, with Peter B. Collins.
Peter B. Collins is now on air on the EAST COAST for the first time - in Boston on WWZN 1510 AM, live 6-9pm EST Mon-Fri. He is one of our favorite and most talented progressive talk show hosts. We’re pleased to see him expanding into the East as part of an effort to level the distribution playing field in news-and-opinion talk radio, which still - as per Shock Jocks - is still more than 90% conservative!
I heard Rory’s interview on a podcast of the PBC Show. I plan to read your book. You are one of the few commentators about the media who get it.
I’m disappointed that Kos is dismissive of the importance of talk radio content and that FreePress.net seems to be focusing on the issue of Net Neutrality.
Progressive Talk has a devoted and passionate group of followers. There are many very good shows that should be accessible to more people.
I think we need a Political Action Committee that encourages legislation to balance the airwaves (especially radio).
